My husband died 3 years ago. He was the half of us who fixed appliances. At 73, I am working on taking over his job. (So far, I have repaired my stove.) Youtube helps. My huge Frigidaire upright freezer FFU2064DW1 started smelling like burning plastic the other day, but I could detect no discernible change in its freezing ability. Fearing a fire, I unplugged it and emptied it. The back panel does not screw on to remove. All the parts are down at the bottom, although I can periodically hear (when I plug it back it for a bit) a raggedy noise coming from about halfway up the back. Something does come on and runs with a steady hum -- I presume the compressor. How do I diagnose what might be wrong? (I am presuming a fan, but I cannot see something that isn't working properly.) When I plug it back in, I still smell the burning smell, but I can see no moving parts.

Model FFU2064DW1

Thanks!
