Has power but does not freeze - Kenmore 14.8 cu. ft. / 419 liter Chest Freezer 13541

That yellow light on sonne older modelks is just showingbtge power is on. I never heard of a chest freezer having a "quick freeze" feature. This feature would also require forced air cooling and auto defrost. If the walls get frost on ghr m t hen Im betting that is ju st a power light although it may say freeze or something else like that. Its just so when you see the yrllow light you know there is power.

If the freezer is working properly then the circuit that feeds the power to the power light is not working or the light itself is burned out. Either one or the other.

Hello max ryan,
I understand that you had a power outage and now that power was restored, you have power inside the appliance but the freezer is not freezing and you can't hear the motor running. I would double check the breakers and make sure that they are on. You can also check the Temperature Control and make sure that it is not in the OFF position. If these solutions do not work, I would call the manufacturer for more help.

-Best Regards-

Try disconnecting power for about seconds, and then restore power. This will reboot the control and maybe restart.

your cooling matchine get damaged,there having a cooling matchine.

replace the temp control, part number 297282800

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.

Most all of Hoshi ice makers have power go thru the bin stat first. It sends power to the board and everything then powers up. Start there and get back to me.I will need model and serial numbers to be sure I have the correct wiring diagram for your unit should we need to go any further. Good Luck.

how hot is the compressor? a very warm to hot compressor indicate dirty coils or lack of refrigerant

leave it a half day in its operating position before powering up
