Kenmore: Not Freezing
When a standalone freezer stops freezing, we first confirm whether the compressor runs, whether evaporator air moves, and whether frost is blocking the coil — before discussing sealed system work.
- Test evaporator fan motor operation and ice on the blade
- Inspect condenser coils and condenser fan airflow
- Check compressor start relay, overload, and run behavior
Quick tip: Keep the lid or door closed, avoid overpacking vents, and book service if food is thawing — repeated power cycling can stress the compressor.
