Gets cold, but why not freezing? - Kenmore Freezers

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

Yes, the freezer temperature means the lid gets very cold. Every time you open it some moisture condenses in the lid and the outside ambient also affects it. The insulation may be beginning to break down and the ice is forming inside. It is not a major problem however and many freezers go on for years with freezing lids!

usually when aq defrost timer goes bad it gets stuck in defrost. I would suggest replacing this first
