I have a kenmore freezer model# 253 9185211. I had it in storage and brought it home ,connected it.Red light on top is on. I set the dial on 4. I can hear something turn on,but freezer wont freeze. Lost...

the lock is only to prevent the door from opening, it does not cause the unit not to cool properly. If this is a chest freezer, a not uncommon occurrence can happen in similar situations, used for a while, then not plugged in for a period of time, and when its used again stops cooling. The lack of usage causes the refrigerant lines in the cabinet walls to rust, and therefore the refrigerant leaks.

You might consider a service call just to make sure.

I have a Kenmore side by side, not sure the model, but it's probably 10 years old or so. It has an ice maker with water, cube and crushed ice dispenser. The ice maker works fine, but it will not dispense...

Most of the time the bin has been removed and not put back in properly. When this happens ice blocks the drive motor. Remove the bin and turn the auger by hand make sure it will turn and is not jammed. Now with the bin out push the light button in that turns the light out and have someone push the button for ice while the door is still open the motor should turn in the back make sure thereis no ice blocking it. If it turns nothing is wrong with the motor. The clicking sound is usually the motor jammed by ice or the auger not engaged on the motor. hope this helps good luck

I have a Kenmore refrig./freezer (top freezer, bottom refrig.) that stays in my garage all year long. After this very cold winter, it has stopped working. The light goes on, but no sound of motor, and...

-Possibly no more Freon.

Try this:
-Turn the control switch all the way to 0. Let it stay for 10 minutes or more then turn it up to number 5 to see it kick the motor or not.
If not then possibly the relay is bad.
But if there is power there then the motor is bad.

Good luck and do not store any food in until it had fixed

Fridge in storage for 4 yrs, now not cooling

Good day,
After that much time, be sure the fan motor in the freezer compartment is running, as well as the fan motor on the back bottom behind the cover by the compressor. Either could well have frozen up after 4 years of storage.
As well a refrigerant leak could have developed because of the time frame. However, if it is less then 5 years old, the sealed system would still be under factory warranty.

1991 Kenmore 16 model 253 in storage for 7 years. Plugged it in and turned it nn last night and seemd to run fine, nice and quiet just like before. Today it is not cold and the comressor seems to be r

If the freezer was stored and not running for 7 years it may have lost coolant.  Since the compressor is running recharging the coolant may fix the problem.  Hot compressor might indicate low coolant since its motor is immersed in it.
