20 Most Recent Kenmore 14.8 cu. ft. / 419 liter Chest Freezer 13541 - Page 9 Questions & Answers

Mine did the same thing two years ago. Sadly, no reset button... it just leaked the refrigerant out :(

Hello;My name is Peter. I am a retired field service refrigeration technician.The normal cycle is: Your compressor will turn on to raise the freezer temperature 20 degrees F. above the set temperature, and then the compressor will shut off, Until the freezer temperature drops 20 degrees F. below the set temperature and again the compressor will turn on.One of the main problems with this type of freezer is the door gasket becomes crushed over time or the door is so thin it becomes deformed.Do not try to replace the door gasket. You have to soak the new gasket in hot water for 1/2 hour and then form it on the door.If you notice a gap in the corner of the door - pull hard on it to get it flush.Recondition the door gasket - With a hair dryer and a kitchen spatula, heat the gasket and try to expand the gasket by pulling out with the spatula. You can purchase a special freezer lubricant. Be sure not to over do it. It can make the door hard to open. P/N 5426381/2 Oz. $12.00.

Of course there is. Go to the Sears support site and download it.

Check that the door gasket is not perished or damaged causing the door not to close properly. Also check nothing is hitting or obstructing the door from pushing the door open switch closed. Some fridges have a lever or button sticking up out of the door which pushes the switch off. Check if you have one and see if its broken or missing the switch. Perhaps the door has dropped and not touching the switch? The moisture in the fridge indicates that air is getting into the compartment during cooling cycle. This is common if the door isn't closing properly or the gasket has failed.

Kenmore is a Sears product line. Contact Sear service. It is most likely that these locks are fairly generic in nature by brand. Your lock won't be unique.

If it's holding at 28 degrees, it's not the coils. See if dropping the temp does any thing to lower the temp. If it does, fine. If not, most likely just the control needs replaced or just cleaned.
