Unit is a new, just delivered freezer. When initially turned on, display showed an E8 error code. Unit was unplugged for a few minutes and now displays a temp of 92 F with a hi temp alarm). Unit is running with an internal temp of 0 F. Is this normal for a new unit?
No. Sounds like the intern temp sensor is bad, missing, or not connected. 92 is probably the max reading it can display. The unit will probably operate continuously, be much to cold, and cost a ton to operate. I assume you bought this from Sears. Call them to replace the freezer. Should be no problem.

Hello derek143
You Said,
I have a Whirlpool upright freezer AFG 371/H there is a digital display
and lights and buttons, on/off temp alarm etc running across the top of
the freezer. None of this works but the freezer is still freezing. i
have no idea what the temp is.
I think you should try unplugging it for 5 minutes and then try restarting it and see if it reset.

If the defrost timer sticks in the defrost mode,yes. Normal defrost time is 30 minutes or less depending upon which timer is installed.
If it happens again,locate the defrost timer and turn the dial manually to see if the compressor comes back on. If so,replace the timer.
It is probably on the rear near the compressor. Some are under the front behind the dust guard.
