We have a Kenmore upright freezer m/n 2539232283. Purchased in 1/ 1994. Many years of great service. stopped working today. Light on front of door is still on. Lost all food. turn control off and on not making any sign of compresor coming on. Is it worth fixing or just buy a new one. thanks, David

The light may be staying on and creating heat, or the unit thinks the door is still open.

Or the door seal is worn and is letting cold out.

Or

It needs gas.

Have you put a thermometer inside to check the temperature? It should be 0'F +/- 2'.

This code represents a malfunction. Call frigidaire and find out what that code means. Your manual should tell you as we'll.

Hi James.

Most Kenmore upright freezers use a backup battery located at the lower part of the appliance. When the battery is low the freezer will beep continuously. If the unit has been off for a long time, and if the unit uses a battery, then the battery may need replacement.

Here a picture of the battery in its housing, located in the lower front part of the freezer.

it may be froze up, and require a defrosting. use a portable fan to speed up this process , also make sure the fan in the freezer compartment is working, with a little work and a zoom spout oiler, or some light motor oil, the motor can be sparked back to life.you also may want to remove the light bulbs, they are a great heat generator . freeze ups are common with the high humidity we are having these days.. jay the pool pump motor repair guy longwood Florida

My freezer was purchased in February, 2004. It is a self defrosting freezer but ice has started forming along the bottom shelf and back wall. Also, after cleaning the freezer the other day it has stopped clycing. The freezer will stop running only if I turn it down to the #1 setting and then it will not come back on. If I turn it up to a higher setting the compressor will not stop running. It ran for over 24 hours and would not cycle unless I turned it off or set it at the #1 setting. When I unplugged it and pulled it away from the wall, there was a green water spot the size of a dinner plate underneath the freezer. Help!! Very Unhappy this freezer is only 6 years old.

how hot is the compressor? a very warm to hot compressor indicate dirty coils or lack of refrigerant

disconnect from mains. take cover off compressor electrics. check starting device - easy to replace
