MY FREEZER VENT KEEPS ICING UP WHY - Kenmore 73503 Stainless Steel Bottom Freezer Refrigerator

Please check if the freezer door gasket is sealed properly.
By switch do you mean the lever on the front of the door.
Check also the small door where the ice cubes go threw. Make sure it is closed.

Not sure what you mean with icing up, but in every freezer, vapour will freeze to the side.
If you want to go for sure, just buy a little thermometer for the freezer (must be going at least to - 30 Celsius) and hang it in the freezer. 3 or 4 star freezers should be at -18 Celsius.
Lower does not add anything to the quality of the food, or can extend the time you can preserve it in the freezer, but will cost more energy to keep it that cold. Lower than - 18 will shorten the time you can keep food in the freezer. -18 C is about -0,4 F.
so 0 or above is bad. -0,4 or below is good.

If it is icing up, then there is water that is collecting in there when it goes in defrost. The water should be draining out of there. The drain to it may be stopped up. Moisture is an enemy in the freezer. Moisture keeps it from getting as cold as it can.

That model number comes up as a deep freezer. If it is icing up near the door only it is a gasket leaking air into the freezer.

there is a drain hole in the freezer side that could b stopped up clean it out and c if that works for u.

Sounds like the refrigerator is not defrosting Could be the defrost heater, defrost timer or the defrost thermostat.

It is possible that the fanmotor is not working and needs replacing. If the fanmotor is working, then you have the defrost system checked. It is either the element which is gone or the main pc board.
