Kenmore freezer door alarm beeps but door is closed
Report This
I have a Kenmore upright freezer 253.28052800. Every once in a while, the door ajar light goes on and the alarm beeps and will not turn off until the temperature gets colder (I manually increase the freezer temperature), which takes between 1/2 hour to 1 hour. Whenever this has happened, the door is closed. I don't know what to do. A technician told me to change the 9V battery, but I could not find its location on my freezer. Any suggestions? Thanks.

I can understand your concern about this alarm sounding. If this unit had a battery it would be located in the bottom toe grill. However, this model does not show to have a battery. If the door is closed good and the door alarm is sounding, it will indicate the control board has failed. First, I suggest disconnecting the power for 30 seconds and reconnecting it. This will reset the board. Also check to make sure the light inside the cabinet is turning off when the door is closed. If the alarm still sounds, the control # 297241802 will need to be replaced.
