What's inside a Kenmore freezer
Many Kenmore chest and upright freezers carry a 253 prefix, which means Frigidaire built them. Chest freezers are simple: a compressor, a condenser in the wall or at the back, a thermostat and a gasket. Upright freezers often add frost-free defrost parts. The common faults are a failing start relay that keeps the compressor from starting, a thermostat that stops calling for cooling, and a lid or door gasket that lets humid air in and builds frost. A Kenmore freezer in an unheated garage or basement faces another problem: many are not designed for cold ambient temperatures, and they can run less or stop in winter. Check the owner's manual for the allowed room temperature range.
Parts that tend to fail on Kenmore freezers
- Compressor start relay failing
- Thermostat not calling for cooling
- Lid or door gasket not sealing
- Defrost heater failed on frost-free uprights
- Condenser fan stopped

Something else on your mind?
Reach out with the brand, the symptom and a model number if you have one. Some questions we can answer on the spot; the rest a technician can check in person.
Maybe not. Many freezers are not designed for very cold rooms, and the thermostat may stop calling for cooling. Check the manual for the allowed room temperature. If it also fails in normal conditions, we test the relay, thermostat and compressor.
If the fault is a relay, thermostat or gasket, usually yes. A dead compressor or a refrigerant leak in an old freezer usually tips the balance toward buying new. You get both options before any work.
