Hi, I have a Kenmore Elite upright freezer and the interior cabinet lights flash like strobe lights. Trying to figure out what is causing this. The model number is 25344753110

Hi, go to this website and it will tell you what your error code means. Thanks!
Kenmore Freezer With Deluxe Electronic Control

First thing, call the dealer

The rust shouldn't make any difference.

When you plug it in, does the interior light turn on? If not, suspect the wall outlet - test it for power by plugging in something else. If the interior light turns on, listen very closely to the freezer. It should hum. If it doesn't, toy with the freezer control inside - it may just be turned off. Turn it to about midpoint and listen very closely to it again. If still no hum, wait a short while, then feel carefully on the outside of the cabinet - it may be running through a defrost cycle. The outside of the cabinet may get warm while that's happening, especially around the door gaskets. Wait a while (half an hour, an hour, for the defrost cycle to finish - the freezer should run then.

If it never hums, then the compressor isn't running, so adding freon won't make any difference. Instead, suspect the defrost timer - that's a little electronic circuit board inside.

If it HUMS but never gets COLD, then you potentially have a freon leakage problem. It's difficult at best, though, to refill a refrigerator or freezer - they don't usually have refill taps.

Oh, yes. If the internal light never comes on but you've proven that the wall outlet has power, it's entirely possible that the plug is bad and needs to be redone.

Hi,

You have an open thermistor, there are two Cabinet 297110400 (30 bucks) and defrost 297216600 (15 bucks) I hope this helps.

Turn the interior temperature control back on by setting at approx halfway between "off" and "coldest". (Make certain the branch circuit is hot - you should hear the compressor turn on when you set the control, possible an interior light will come on as well).

If the freezer does not run, check to see if you accidiently pulled the flash defrost plnger (if equipped). (See age 8 in your manual).

If you don't have a manual, you can download one here:

(This is for Kenmore model 253.23024-101 or -102).

Over your compressor, there is a catch well, you will see a hole in the exect middle above it in the cabinet of the unit, may be front or back of the catch unit, use a mirror to locate and go from there....Russ
