What you observe on the USBSR line
- Water on the floor — water only after a power interruption — Covered end to end on "Bangson USBSR Freezer: Water Leak".

- Not cooling — water pooling in the bottom of a chest freezer — Read it on "Bangson USBSR Freezer: Not Cooling or Not Freezing".
Causes, most likely first on these models
- Water on the floor — On these models this sits the most common. Stated without a denominator, because none was measured. When it is tracked down it is usually a drain plug left open or missing on a chest freezer.
- A new noise — Second most common of the classes reported on USBSR units. It usually resolves to items stored on top of or against the cabinet.
- Not cooling — Third most common of the classes reported on USBSR units. It usually resolves to a lid or door seal that no longer seals.

Where the owner side ends
Which of the classes above an owner can address on a USBSR unit depends on one condition: whether the check needs a panel removed. Those that do not are yours. Call immediately for a tripped breaker or a burning smell, whatever the symptom.
