Kenmore freezer runs but won't get cold - Kenmore 14.8 cu. ft. / 419 liter Chest Freezer 13541

Yes it is. You probably have a bad capacitor since it probably as been outside for this long. It is subject to aging even when not in use. This should be an inexpensive job.

You can get a replacement from the mfr or supplier .

Prepare to replace the t'stat. At least it is freezing and you haven't lost anything.

When you say "cleaned", did you defrost it? And. if so, could you have damaged the internal lining? Often the coil inside the wall of a chest freezer can fracture if hit or stabbed at during defrosting.
Other than that, is the compressor running (you would hear it)? it may have overheated. If not running, see if it feels hot (siezed) or cold (no power from thermostat). If cold, put it on fast freeze and see if it kicks into life (thermostat faulty) or not (compressor fault, time for a new freezer!)
Let me know how you get on!

Check condenser clean and fan working. Check it's not frozen solid because you've been running it full pelt; if it is, fully defrost it then set it at a mid range setting.

usually when aq defrost timer goes bad it gets stuck in defrost. I would suggest replacing this first

Well a freezer is easy to repair. The circuit goes from one side of the power cord to the cold control and down to the compressor then out to the other side of the power cord. Id the control or compressor relay is open then she won't freeze. All the parts to it are listed HERE.
From the list I see an overload for the compressor. If that one is open it won't freeze. Bypass the temp control wires to see if she runs.

If it gets cold enough check the thermostat

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.
