Greetings LSOUTO:
Two questions for you-

1) How much formamide dye did you add to your dried samples? I add 2 - 3 ul
and load 1 ul.
2) If your control failed, what primer are you using?

I routinely freeze samples overnight with no adverse effects.
Make sure your plasmid concentration is correct and that your primer actually
binds to it.

Hope this helps.
