Damaged

The freezer door was broken off and dented when the packing was removed. It would have taken 2 to 3 weeks for a replacement via on line services. The reason I purchased the Christmas gift on line was so that we did not have to handle it. Instead we had to take it to the store and return it and then repurchase. Then transporting the over to 100 lb freezer. Not sure I will use on line services again

Like the freezer

Well this is my 3rd one first one died after 8 months. Had to wait 3 months before they were back in stock. I also paid $40 cheaper and no one would honor that price at Sams. Get the other one home let it sit for a couple of days open it up and front is dented real bad. Had to go back again and get a new one get it home and it’s dented on the side. But on the bottom so I’ll keep this one hopefully this one will last

A perfectly sized standup freezer.

The best part of buying through Sams is that the handoff at pickup in the parking lot was easy , friendly, and very helpful.....unfortunately, the problem I had was when I got home, I had to unload and put the freezer in the desired location all by myself. I did have to elevate the unit a bit and put it on 4 flat stepping stones. No worries, I got it done and it is now functioning and taking care of all the items we needed to store. The freezer fits beautifully.

Great Little Freezer!

Just to be sure always let your newly delivered refrigerators and freezers sit upright for 24 hours so all the oils drain to the bottom of your appliance before you turn them on so you won't damage the unit. The upright is so much easier to organize.

Very nice upright freezer

We've only had the freezer for about a month now, but it seems to be working just fine. It's the perfect size to compliment our refrigerator/freezer. No more squeezing everything into a small space. We can buy meat when it's on sale & stock up. I like the upright freezer much better than the chest freezers I've owned in the past as we can see what's in the upright freezer & everything is easy to get to.

Good freezer, bad door.

It freezes beautifully, which is the goal of having a freezer. It stores plenty, which is why I wanted a second freezer. BUT, the door won't stay on. Literally every time I open the door, the door comes off its tiny little pin, and I have to line it all up and put it back together every time. I've tried to rig it to stay on, but so far, I've had no success.

Headliner Damaged When Freezer Loaded

The size of the upright freezer is convenient for the space that we had selected to place it. The top shelf was off track on one side; I was able to pop it in; hoping that I wouldn’t crack something—it took quite a bit of muscle to pop it in. When sams club employees loaded my freezer into my SUV I was standing on the back of the drivers side; when I got home I noticed that the freezer had been pushed up onto my headliner and had cracked the shell of the headliner. My wife wasn’t too pleased since it was her car and only two years old. I haven’t been able to find anybody yet too find what it is going to cost me. My advice is to make sure store personnel loads your product slowly and check both sides; top and bottom being driving away.

Do Not Buy

I purchased this Thomson freezer from Sam's Club, and it stopped working after less than four years of use. After an electrical outage at my home, the power came back on, but the freezer did not. I contacted Curtis International, which handles support for Thomson freezers. Unfortunately, the assistance I received was not satisfactory. I was essentially told to contact my credit card company to see if they could help or to find a repair technician on my own. I also researched the issue online and found other reports of similar problems. If this is a recurring issue with the unit, I believe the manufacturer should provide a clear solution rather than leaving customers to pay for diagnosis and repairs themselves. A freezer failing after less than four years, combined with the lack of meaningful customer support, is very disappointing. Based on my experience, I would not purchase another Thomson appliance and would recommend that other buyers consider the reliability and available customer support before purchasing.

Hi Charlene - it sounds like your door is out of adjustment allowing humid room air into the unit where it condenses as frost. Here's a tutorial how to resolve the issue: How to Reduce & Resolve Frost Buildup in Upright Freezers, Refrigerator and Freezer Compartments of Refrigerators. Frost occurs when moisture in ambient air touches the cold evaporator coils, metal shelves and interior sides of a freezer or refrigerator. Steps you can take to reduce frost build up: Move your hand around the outside of the freezer/refrigerator door. If you feel cold air, then the door is not sealing adequately. You can adjust the door by loosening the top hinge to reposition/adjust the freezer door to create a tight seal. Adjust the front levelling feet of your unit such that the front of the unit is slightly higher than the rear. Gravity will assist the door to close with a proper seal. TIP: Close the door on a dollar bill (or similar). The dollar bill should not easily pull out - there should be some resistance. Perform the “Dollar Bill Test” on the top, sides, bottom of your freezer door, and adjust accordingly. Do not over fill your freezer to prevent food items from shifting and preventing the freezer door from closing properly. Place only cool or cold food items in your refrigerator or freezer. Hot foods introduce humidity into the food storage compartment, which contributes to frost build up. Allow hot foods to cool before placing them in the refrigerator or freezer. Wrap foods tightly with plastic wrap. Butcher paper is not an adequate wrapping material. Glass container lids typically do not provide a proper seal. Dry the exterior of food before storing. By the time you reach home after purchasing frozen foods, the food items may have defrosted a bit and moisture may have already developed on packaging. Reduce the amount of time the door remains open. Labelling and organizing your foods so you can easily identify them will help shorten the number and duration of freezer trips. Set the freezer temperature so the freezers interior compartment stays around 0F (-18C), as higher and lower temperature settings contribute to frost build up. Door Seal Care: Keep the door seal clean. You can clean your door seal with a solution of one tsp of baking soda to a quart of lukewarm water. Pour the solution onto a clean sponge, and wipe it over the seal. Sponge off the solution with clear water and dry the seal with a clean cloth before closing the freezer door. Keep the door seal flexible by lubricating it with some petroleum jelly (e.g. Vaseline). Wipe it on and wipe it off with a clean dry cloth.
