If you have a fast freeze button try that and see if the alarm goes off within a few hours. It bypasses the thermostat switch. Check condenser clean etc but be prepared for compressor failure

I am having the same problem. How long did it take?
I bought mine second hand and think it may be broken. I plugged it in 8 hours ago. I can hear it running but it's not cold yet.

SOURCE: temp -35 degrees,freezer runs all the time

I assume there is no manual control for setting temp. so the thermal sensor or control circuit has failed and it is just staying at its maximum.  You will probably get more help from the manufacturer but their website is somewhat disjointed; looking for contact info for your product ends at one point and then shifts to their scientific product line.
The only general contact info I found is here:
Nor-Lake 
You will in any case need to have the correct model number at hand since the subject line doesn't sound like your freezer.

SOURCE: Outside of chest freezer gets hot

it is normal for outside to get hot. that is where the condensor coils are located. if unit is working don't worry.

I have an older model chest freezer. The alarm buzzer and light came on. I silenced the buzzer but the light is still on. The freezer is cold and still freezing well. Door is good and closed. It’s running...

Without a posted make and model number, it is hard to say. You need to unplug the unit from the power for a couple of minutes and then plug it back in to see if it resets

BUZZES

This sounds like the temperature monitor is alarming because the temperature has not cooled down enough yet in your freezer. turn the monitor off until the freezer reaches proper temperature then you can turn it back on.

your ptc overload relay on the compressor is bad,unplug it off the compressor and get a replacement at an appliance parts store,plug in the replacement and this will solve your problem

GE 5CF CHEST FREEZER

I got delivery today for the same freezer and had the same question.
I just called GE's customer service number (800-626-2005) and the agent told me that GE uses this button panel (which has the green on/off light switch, the two white switches, and the round control dial) for all or most of its freezers. But the buttons do not do anything on the 5 cubic foot chest freezer. They are not connected to anything and are non-active buttons. On other freezer models above this one, the two switches serve a purpose, but not the 5CF model. This is a simple, inexpensive freezer and it doesn't have bells and whistles--but it does have the same control panel as the multi-feature freezers. Hope that helps.

Freezer temp

Coolant is leaking (because it is probably old), so you might want to get a repair person to get some more coolant, or you could just buy a new Freezer.
