Is the compressor continually running? If so then there could be a leak in the system or the compressor is damaged. If it's running then stopping, the cold control (thermostat) could be damaged.

Please check current draw while compressor run, compare with its standard. If current draw it very high, your compressor is stuck up and need for replacement. Check also its capacitor for malfunction

Hi,
It is normal for those lights ot flicker.. as long as the unit is working then do not worry about that...the light really is just showing you that you have power to the unit...

check the motor. and also the frion

maybe the condenser is stock up or defective compressor or oil is in the freezers coil

If your unit has a cold control it would most likely be on the side of the chest freezer near the front bottom. If you can find your complete model number from the tag on the freezer I could find out for you for sure.

Thanks

If this unit has a control it would be located on the outer left side in the lower right hand corner. There would be a dial, the higher the number the cooler the temperature. Many of these chest freezers did not have an adjustable control.

To stop the audible alarm (beep), press the "ALARM RESET" button. The red alarm light will remain on and the display will continue to flash until a new battery is installed.

try unplugging it and leaving it unplugged for a while. 15 minutes maybe? Leave door closed so it stays relatively cold. It should reset the unit.

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'. https://www.google.com/search?q=Kenmore+upright+freezer.+The+alarm+keeps+going+off ..

Question edited for full 'make model (what it is). Question moved to Maker category. 'FF' is Fast Freeze. Do a Power Reset. Disconnect from the mains for 5 minutes and plug back in. If that doesn't fix it, you will need a service call. It may have leaked refrigerant gas.

Try defrosting the freezer and clearing any ice buildup, then check the door seal for any gaps or damage. If the problem persists, you may need to consult the user manual or contact a professional appliance repair service for assistance.
