@@JackofAllCarbinc Yes! Actually I subscribed right after I found your video and showed it to my husband -- literally saved him the extra work and put him in a better mood! Your bin organization is perfect as well -- although we don't have IKEA because you put the links in there for the measurements we can find something similar! You are awesome!
Instruction booklet....wow you got lucky i didnt even get one of those. lol glad this helped you and hopefully you hit that thumbs up to share with others.
Thanks for this. Midea C/S told me that the casters are optional, but highly recommended if you want to move the freezer or if the base isn't flat on the floor. Again, thanks!
Thanks. I figured out the right side easily enough, but thought I was missing something on the left. The plates where there should be 4 holes have none on mine, as someone else mentioned. I CAREFULLY drilled and tapped them, rather than return to the store.
Excellent video...thank you for doing it with regular video speed and no music...holly cow...that makes so much of a difference and one can enjoy the video start to end
Thank you so much for doing this video!!! My Mom was legitimately ready to take it back to Costco and get a refund. You saved me and my Mom a huge amount of hassle! 😅😂😊
thanks a lot- There is nothing mentioned about this in the manual- I think I could not have figured it out myself. U saved me a lot of time and who knows what I would have done. Thanks again.
I read some but not all of the manual which only reads that there are only 4 casters in the packaging. I did not read if there were 4 spots to install casters and there were no specific instructions like how "Jack of All" exampled here on TH-cam. Thank you Jack for a quick install.***And like everyone should mention: If you flip your freezer/refrigerator on its side remember to flip it right side up (lid side up in this case) and let the machine stand 24 hours before turning it on to let the chemicals inside to settle.
Thank you!!! Just finished with this and had to give you a thumbs up. Like someone else posted, it says nothing in the manual other than it comes with the casters. Also there really is no way to just tilt this and put the casters on if you're having to do this by yourself. I had no choice, but to lay it on its side. Now, I'm just waiting patiently to plug it in tomorrow.
Glad it helped, i was sccratching my head for days thinking something was wrong with mine since i had it sitting on a piece of wood to get it level, weirdest manual and set up i have seen But at the end worked out great. I also have a video on organizing that freezer if your interested, thank you so much for the thumbs up, really helps me out.
no problem, thank you for watching and commenting and hopefully hitting that thumbs up button to be able to get the video out to more people like us. I had it sitting on a piece of wood for months before figuring it out. LOL.
Easier to just lay the freezer on its side. The trick is to make sure the pipes coming out of the compressor remain up. On mine both outlet pipes face the rear; thus for mine I can safely tip the fridge onto its face. I can throw a blanket down on the ground and tip it over frontwards. To check the pipes on your fridge, remove the side cover. On mine its 5 phillips screws...takes 2 minutes. Just look which direction the pipes go out of the compressor. If both go the same way, its easy. If one pipe goes forward and one goes back, keep the bigger pipe upwards when it is tipped.
Thanks for taking the time to post this. You really saved a lot of folks the time it would take to run down this info. Now what do you know about fixing computers?................
Your very welcomed, it was a head scratcher when i saw the wheels and my freezer was slanted, i could not figure it out till i lifted the freezer way off the ground, thanks for watching and supporting the channel, it really helps me out tons.
Glad it helped, i was so confused on this unit till i finally could not deal with seeing a block on one end so thats what made me figure out the way to do this, I am very surprised how these do not come with any directions whatsoever.
I just got that exact same freezer, and it's a nightmare trying to get the power cable to come out. I had to get a repair man to get the cable out and plug it in.
@@Steven64 yes thats just the frost building in there all freezers do that and eventually you will have to thaw out. Just make sure the things you put it have minimal water or condensation around bag of packaging.
Mine came with 4 caster wheels and two small white level adjusting wheels. Obviously you can’t have the adjusting wheels and the caster 3:53 wheels on at the same time. So how did you adjust for level? 3:53
Thank you very much my dude. The manual showed nada and I was thrown for a bit. This video defenitely helped me out, earned yourself a sub and like from me. P.S. I am a dude as well, let's keep this a secret and don't tell anybody I asked for directions. Lol Have a good one man
lol......ok funniest comment so far, I do have to admit that i had the freezer on a block of wood for 2 months before i finally got fed up and just had to figure this out, i thought i had gotten a defective freezer since it would not sit flush and the castors made no sense till i went underneath the darn thing. If that didnt work I was going to go with the good old duct tape trick to put those castors on, glad i didn't.
Thank you for the video! Exactly what i was lookin for ❤ Questions to the author of the video and other freezer owners of this model: how is it going? For those who has the unit for some time, is it still alive?
have had it running since i posted video and works perfect, not sure if its due to bins but i still have not had the need to defrost the ice build up so thats another plus.
We bought one during the darkest days of the pandemic, and it's been great for the 4 years since. Tiny energy consumption. Does need to be defrosted but if you're lazy like us, you can just switch it off, wait about a DAY (!) and when the time is right, the ice will have shrunk away and be sheeting off the surfaces inside it, and you can just lift them out - no drips, no big wet mess. That said, the casters SUCK. In no world are they up to the task of moving the freezer without damaging a nice floor (I got here hoping for a caster REPLACEMENT hack, not a how-to-install, which was actually a snap.)
hi thanks for the video but my son put.the wheels on but he layed it flat on floor just pushed back on rug flat while he put the wheels on will this be a issue or will it be fine in 24 hours
frezzer was never flipped just raised....thats the way tey are if you do flip on its side (not recommended) you have tomake sure that the freezer gets about 24 hours in its normal position so all the freon goes back down the lines ad no damage occurs.
Hi rose, No i didn't lay on back i lifted it up an placed on a chair to get underneath, I know the instructions say to not tilt , BUT I did have to tilt it when i first purchased freezer to get it home in my car, if you MUST lay on its side then its suggested that once you get home you place right side up and not plug in for 24 hours, the reason they dont want it tilted or laying on its side is due to the refrigerant in the compressor, ....if the liquid is not fully leveled and all over the compressor it can damage the compressor so that is the reason for that from what i read up. Hope that helps.
@@JackofAllCarbinc The supplied casters are barely up to the task of supporting it EMPTY, let alone when it's full. I got here looking for a hack to replace with something of larger diameter and that won't ruin our new flooring, but...not here. Anyone else who needs to know, the stock casters screw down to holes on a 4cm x 4cm square - which is really small for a mounting plate for a caster that's up to the task. I haven't come across anything in that standard yet.
This was still confusing to me, but I got the freezer up on a table where I could look at it more easily (laying on the floor is not easy for an old man). When you look at the plastic "louvered" panel the bottom third is flat and says "OPEN HERE FOR POWER CORD ==>". That flat piece is a small door that is hinged on the left side, you can pry it open from the right side. Once open pull out the power cord, then push the door closed. Thanks Jack for pointing out where to find it as the manual shows the power cable coming out of the side panel instead of the rear. We actually got the cable to come out of the side panel by removing it before seeing your post, but the cable was about a foot shorter than from the back.
@@BoomerTex the cable is ridiculously short. I wish the instructions mentioned where the chord was. Such a pain in the butt! I haven't attempted putting the wheels on yet
@@JackofAllCarbinc thanks buddy. Yes i did. I have followed all the instructions on the manual but i guess it happens. My friend has to get in the manufacturer for solving the issue. Its past the 90days Costco return warranty
@@traviscole7069 bummer.......if he bought using the costco citi card, he should have the 1 year warranty via the credit card company, But hopefully the manufacturer can help out .....might just be a simple fix.
Will the freezer work fine without casters?= YES , BUT, once side will be a bit higher than the other, it will not sit flush on the floor, At first i just added a small piece of wood underneath to make it even but after looking at that for weeks it drove me nuts to the point of having to figure this out. So long story short, no it is not necessary to add the casters or wont damage the freezer, it will just look silly(at least in my eyes). Hope that helps.
Bought mine just a week ago and it didnt come with screw holes for the casters (only on the left sides @3:14). It's so frustrating like am I supposed to drill holes ? I was scared to do so cuz i dont wanna damage it by drilling into something that I'm not supposed to
Hi .... as you can see by my video it was never tilted I lifted freezer on chair and was doing job from underneath. I understand the manual says you cant tilt ...that is due to the liquid in the compressor needs to be at the bottom to function properly, if you were to tilt it and then put upright right away and turn system on then yes there is a possibility to damage it, BUT if tilting it needs to be done for whatever reason it is recommended that after tilting it be placed upright for 24 hours before the system is turned on so that all fluids can settle and not cause damage to freezer. ,
@@JackofAllCarbinc yep, you're right, they just come in a little brown box with no numbers on it... :( I'm looking for a set to put on my 5cf freezer, looks like it has the same mounting setup.
I am sorry, but this one of the few videos that the explanation is simple and no need of too much brain power to understand how it is done. Watch the video several times until u can understand how it is done...

you should not have a leak, there is a drain plug bottom corner that might not be tightened all the way
Interesting, I didn't know these were "Garage Ready", I didn't see that on the box. Makes my decision to get one of these a little easier.
yep, had this freezer in my garage almost 1 year and a half and works great, Believe they just can support hotter outside temps than most freezers.

Hi, What size are the wheels and the base of it? Purchased the exact same chest freezer and it did not come with the casters or manual. Thanks!
hi, if it was brand new and same model it should have came with them, they might have removed them on newer models to save on cost.
hello, are these specific castors for this freezer. I am asking because you just screwed on the screws. thank you
hi, yes these castors are included with the freezer, if you do not install the freezer will not be flush on the floor.
how does one person turn over a hundred pound freezer on its side to install the castors ?
leverage and friends.
