Questions and answers
How do I change the light in the upper lid?
The freezer stops working after a couple of hours and don’t turn back until I turn it on manually
The Kenmore freezer with part number 253 may stop working after a few hours and only restart when turned on manually due to one of the following issues:
1) Defrost Timer Failure – The timer may not be putting the freezer into defrost mode properly.
2) Defrost Heater or Thermostat Defect – If these components are faulty, the freezer may not defrost as needed, leading to operational issues.
3) Thermostat Problems – If the thermostat is malfunctioning, it might not signal the compressor to turn on, causing the freezer to stop cooling.
Checking the coil for ice buildup and ensuring proper defrost function can help diagnose the issue.

Why has a layer of ice formed on the bottom of my free standing Sears model 253.22042411 freezer?
Ice on the bottom of your Kenmore 253.22042411 freezer is likely caused by a defrost issue. A blocked or frozen drain due to a malfunctioning defrost timer or temperature control can cause water from defrost cycles to collect and freeze at the bottom. Checking the freezer's back panel for ice buildup can help confirm this.
