I need to replace the thermostat on my very old Kenmore Coldspot Upright Freezer, model 106628420. I have no owners manual and there is not one to be found. I would like any help possible. Thank you so much!

When it runs all the time it usually means it is running low on freon.

The location of the 9V battery on a Kenmore upright freezer model 970 can vary depending on the specific model and design. However, in general, the 9V battery is typically located in the control panel or on the back of the freezer near the compressor. You may need to consult the freezer's manual or contact Kenmore customer support for more specific information regarding your model.

The thermostat may be stuck froze in open position, in off and not closing, calling to replace the thermostat or the defrost timer

I found the Kenmore owner manual that I needed at

I unplug mine and let it take several days. You break a line or punch a hole in a line and the freezer will be ruined. Just let it thaw out on its own to prevent damage.

If you need further help, reach me via phone at https://www.6ya.com/expert/dan_73bbd84fe1d95b61

Although I can't find the exact model number you seek, all Kenmore manuals should be available from the following web site:

If you heard the noise at a fairly routine rate and time it was probably the defrost timer motor. Locate it and you should be able to engage it manually. It is a plug and go part to replace. Be sure to take the old one along with the make n model # with you to the parts house!!

The thermostat should be a close circuit when requesting cold temps. or when asking the compressor to come on. The exterior surface on some freezers warm when asking for cold inside. Yours has a condenser coil on the back and that should warm when cooling. If compressor is runningit should be wrm if no freon has leaked from freezer somewhere.
The defrost timer should rotate clockwise during the day and give approx. 3 defrost daily or about every 8 hours. Until the thermostat is resolved and asks for a closed circuit the compressor will not come on. Unplug freezer from outlet,remove thermostat wires, then turn the thermostat to its coldest setting and check again. If no closed circuit the thermostat will need replaced first.
