Doesn't stop running but is very cold

If the thermostat is turned up and the freezer still remains at around 10 degrees I would suggest the system coolant has leaked or the compressor is faulty. Check that the door seals are not obstructed or broken, that will stop the freezer getting colder.

Sounds like the thermostat is not working. Mechanical and electronic thermostats can go bad and cause the freezer to continue running no matter what setting is set on thermostat. When this happens the only setting that will work is turning the temperature setting to off. What is the model number on your freezer? Sea Breeze

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

Hello,

If the compressor comes on the thermostat is good, what you need to check is for power to the fan in the freezer, if power present at fan but it doesn't run the fan motor is bad.

Hi, You may have run out of refrigerant. Please observe and fix it . Regards

What makes a compressor to run constant is the thermostat. Bang on it to see if it will turn off. turn the setting to 1. if it still wont shut off replace cold control (aka thermostat)
worry about the light later hope this was helpful

either the cold control thermostat is defective or the rtc overload contactor has welded itself together and cant open and close the power contacts to the unit,un plug the cold control and see if the unit stops then

Mine is doing the same thing

hi. thanks for the question.you said you could not set the thermostat any warmer. so no matter what you do. it is not changing a thing. -5 the block of ice on the back, is a sign of too cold & running to long. was it frosted up inside the freezer i would replace the cold control thanks the appliance doc

Make sure everything is working, I.E. compressor, fans. Now I need to know if the freezer shuts off at 14 degrees, or does it continue to run without making temp. If it shuts off, then the first place to look is the thermostat. It may be out of calibration. If it continues to run, then the solution may be as simple as cleaning the condenser coil. or the defrost has malfunctioned somehow. Defrost probleams will cause excess ice on the inside coil. You may need to remove the panels to see how much ice is on it. It sounds like the compressor is good, as it is pretty cold. Just not cold enough. A deep freeze should be at least 0.
