Alarm was going off one morning. Quick freeze button was on. Turned off alarm. Put thermometer in freezer. Reading -30F. Compressor hasnt shut off. Can turn dial to off and the compressor shuts off. Set back to normal and the compressor never shuts off. Temperature drops to -30F again. Cleaned out frozen drain. Turned it back on. But no change and the compressor runs steady. AS IF THE QUICK FREEZE IS STUCK ON. Is there any way of disengaging QUICK Freeze? Freezer is a 2002 Kenmore upright... Model 253....
Any help would help!
You probably have a defective thermostat or sensor for reading the temperature.

Thanks for the help.. but I solved the problem. Called Sears for a service call. When they called back I described the problem to the girl who in turn repeated it to the technician. He said "no use comming out till we ave the part" I said "what part?" She said the "Quick freeze circuit board" Oh, ok!
Having dealt with module in the computer industry... I went and unplugged the freezer from the wall. 3 hours later... plugged back in and been working ever since... perfectly!
Just needed to be reset.
Thanks again and I hope this helps some one else..
