I have a Kelvinator upright freezer (360 Impression series) that i bought 2nd hand and the thermostat runs constantly. Do I need to replace it? Can we DIY? How much is it likely to cost? Thanks if you can help. Vanessa.

the problem could be the heater element, bimetal, thermostat, fuse.must open freezer cover and check.

First meter the fan motor to see if it receiving 120Vac, if it is, but does not spin- replace the motor. Order the part by MODEL number Help Me Find My Model Number RepairClinic com

Likely turn it all the way to the right. If it does not turn on the compressor, you will need a new cold control. What is the model number#? Kelvinator Freezer Temperature Control Thermostat 297216004

Replacement thermostats depends on whether the fridge is a double door or single door model. You can buy this part from your appliance parts store/supplier.

I have the same fridge.only a week a go my wife bumped the temp control in the freezer. It ended up freezing up so much. The fan that blows the cold air down to the fridge, couldn't .

Start Relay/Overload or Compressor is bad. A bad compressor can make a Start Relay/Overload go bad but the only way to find out if compressor or Start Relay/Overload is bad is to replace the Start Relay/Overload if it starts and stays running you fixed it if Prob. returns in a week or so or if you have the same Prob. after replacing the relay the compressor is bad.

to solve this problem please change the rubber gasket of the door then check the freezing.

Clean cooling coils....throughly. Check door seals.
