Pull it out of the power point for 1 min

The red light and the audible alarm both come on when the freezer gets warmer than the alarm point... unless you disable the audible alarm with the rocker switch

Maybe the ice maker?

A few suggestions are 1. Turn down the fridge portion a little and colder air should redirect into the freezer part 2. If it is an older unit sometimes defrost it , unplug it and turn it upside down for a day or so (this moves some of the corrosion inside the pipes). Turn it back up and plug it back in .

the defrost timer and limit switch (its clipped to the top of interior coil) needs replaced If you need further help, I’m available over the phone at https://www.6ya.com/expert/rick_4ed9a6c8e57209e6

If your unit has a defrost timer, and you don't see it at one of the back corners, then it will be hidden behind the front kick plate either on the left or right corners.

If you had the door open for that long you will need to unplug and allow the ice buildup that happens when door is left open to thaw. After this you need only to plug the refrigerator back into the power source.Let me know what happens It is not going to work correctly until this is done. Sea Breeze

Your door seals are leaking air.

Hi,
Yes, it does sound like you have a slight leak and a recharge is needed...
But...

Be very careful as to who you get to do that as many are not experienced enough to work on fridge units...they are very touchy and need to be serviced by someone familiar with the small refrigeration units and also someone that is licensed to use refrigerants...

I want you to feel the top of the compressor to see if hot or too hot to keep your hand on the top. Click Here for a photo of the=> FFU2124D System Components item 30 is the 216649315_Relay-and-Overload-Kit item number 55 is the=> 5304464438 Run Capacitor

Replacing these parts will possibly solve the problem of your freezer being on but not freezing everything, We need to make sure the compressor is running, Thanks Sea Breeze

Hi Susan Abboud - Modern freezers have increased storage capacity and keep more even temperature that may require the compressors to run longer but use less energy. Was the unit disconnected previously for any reason? If so, freezer requires a minimum of 4 hours to cold down completely. Confirm that the temperature control is not set too cold and that the door is not being open frequently. A dirty, cracked, worn or poorly fitted door gasket can allow warm air to enter the unit causing it to have to run longer to remove the warm air. Leaks in the door seal will cause freezer to run longer in order to maintain desired temperature. Cleaned the gasket, if it is too damage then it will need to be replace. You can check and see if the door seal is bad by, placing a dollar between the gasket and cabinet. Check to see if the door is being blocked by anything stopping it from closing properly. If nothing is stopping the door then replace gasket. Keep in mind that there should also be at least 4-6 in of air space on all sides of the unit. If freezer is built in or has items stored on top that cover the unit, the can cause long run times, high temperature in the freezer and premature failure to the unit. Do not block the toe grille on the lower front of the unit. Sufficient air circulation is essential for the properly operation of your freezer, about 3 inches around the unit.

Is the compressor running?

Hi - Did the unit previously experience a power loss? If the temperature of the food rises to a level unsafe for a long-term storage, the buzzer will sound and the red light, if equipped, will also glow. After deactivating the alarm and the unit has run approximately 4 hours, the red light should go off. Try resetting the unit by unplugging it or flipping the household circuit breaker off. Wait approximately ten minutes and turn unit back on. If the red light continues to stay on, I would contact a professional to move forward accurately. The freezer may possibly have a communication problem with the control board, temperature control or a wiring harness.
