Its a pain in the *** and if you really plan on doing it yourself and its not the magnetic kind then the best thing to do is take the door completely off the machine and only loosen the screws in the mold, not remove them because the inner door called the eggshell will shift causing more problems than what its worth If you need further help, I’m available over the phone at https://www.6ya.com/expert/jason_4570d45317834dd3

there should be three screws on the hinge bracket that connects to the top of the freezer. take out those screws and remove the bracket. the door will then lift off the bottom hinge.

Check and clean condenser. Check fans operational. If all else ok and working, short of gas.

charge with detail (that is a Freon with Red dy solution to help locate your system leak) locate leak, repair using silver solder, evacuate system completely, pull vacuum down to 27" plus Lbs. vacuum, close system to hold vac pressure, monitor pressure for 30 minute or so, if vacuum hold pressure then you have successfully fixed your system leak, next hook up your system to the manifold gages assembly to a Freon supply source, all this while retainning your vacuum pressure, slowly crack open the valve on the manifold to allow the new freon to enter your system until you see pressure building up in you system, next monitor the discharge line i.e. the bigger line until you see frost extending outside of your freezer unit toward your compressor assembly, then close the freon supply valve, wait for a while to see if the frost line recede into the unit box, if it does not recede but stay out of the box or extend some more then you must must release some freon slowly a very small amount at the time until the frost line has regressed into your freezer box. this should complete your repair, good luck

It sounds like your freezer is not going into your defrost cycle. Or perhaps your cold control is defective not allowing it to shut off.http://www.on-timeappliance.com/refrigeratorrepair.html

Hi James.Most Kenmore upright freezers use a backup battery located at the lower part of the appliance. When the battery is low the freezer will beep continuously. If the unit has been off for a long time, and if the unit uses a battery, then the battery may need replacement.Here a picture of the battery in its housing, located in the lower front part of the freezer.

does it have a back up battery? spending 450 to fix it is not kool. the speaker needs to be cut ! buy a temp gauge, it's how we did it in the old days.. you could even get one that has a alarm at target for 20.00.. like the one used to cook a turky..

Hi Dugga,

This seems to be a problem with the circuit board ,

This causes fault in it that does not allow the board to come back on or work properly sometimes if the power blinks off and back on.

You need to check if the part is under warranty , if it is , then get it replaced for free or you can buy a new board so that this problem is eradicated once for all.

This is not a new problem , there were many defective boards that were recalled by the company and replaced free of charge, probably you were left out.

Hope this helps ..:)
