I’m looking for a manual for a Kenmore upright freezer Model # 970-227410 Serial # WB34245763. I can't seem to find it anywhere and even contacted the manufacturer directly and they don’t have this number In their system?? Does anyone have a copy they could share? There is nothing available from what I can see online.

is it possible the door has not been closed at some point?
If so they can build up with ice in the evaporator which the defrost system cannot handle....Try a manual defrost.
Depending on where the unit is installed high ambient temperature can drop the internal temp enough to set the alarm off though they will still freeze sufficiently

replace the battery in the grill or the hi-voltage control under the unit in the back

SOURCE: Kenmore 253 9280413 freezer keeps running

The coils are embedded in the outer walls and will make the cabinet feel warm outside when the compressor is running. It needs about 4 inches of clear air space around all the outer case walls to properly get rid of its heat. If you have items stored too close to the outer walls they will act as insulation to keep heat from being dissipated. This can cause long run times.

A unit that has lost freon gas due to leakage, while unlikely, can also extend run times. Normal temperature should be about Zero when the dial is set to halfway.

Good Luck

alarm should go off when freezer reaches minus 18c or lower.
