Tom April 21, 2022 for Model Number Kenmore 253.28432800 Upright freezer issue - beeping with steady red light. Hit Reset button and beeping stopped, but red light still,steady. Replaced control board (297241802). Still have steady red light. Compressor is operating and all food frozen. What else can we check?
1 Answer Tom, it would be recommended that the internal temperature of the unit is verified using a thermometer to ensure it is reaching the set temperature. If it is not reaching the set temperature and the compressor is operating very frequently, it would be likely that there is a sealed system failure that would require an EPA certified technician to diagnose and repair.

Ron December 28, 2020 for Model Number FRI-FFU14F5HW Any way to test with a multimeter to see if the control board is good (297370602), have checked just about all other parts and they seem to be fine.
1 Answer Ron, For this control board, there will be no way to test it and if everything else is checking to be good then the board will be the issue. Read More...

Chad September 16, 2020 for Model Number 253.28432809 We lost power for 6 - 8 hours Thursday evening while I was out of town. My wife did not notice until Sunday AM. I have left the freezer unplugged for an extended period of time. When I plug it back in, it beeps 3 times but the display on the door control does not look normal. I cannot read the numbers and the freezer does not cool. If I replace the Main Control Board, P/N 297370602, should that fix the issue?
1 Answer Chad, It does sound as if you have an issue with the control on your freezer and the replacement of the control should take care of the issue. 297370602 Read More...

Jesse February 04, 2020 for Model Number 297370602 I have replaced the Frigidaire / Electrolux / Kenmore 297370602 Freezer Main Control Board on my upright twice in the last 6 months. What could be cause early failure? And there any way to repair and check the main control board? Thanks
1 Answer Jesse, power surges, shorted wires, and other variables can cause the early failure of a control board. Inspecting the wires for a short to ground would be recommended, as well as inspecting for corroded connections. If there is moisture getting behind the control, this can impact the control life as well. Read More...
Fred September 04, 2019 for Model Number 25328432809 my freezer stopped working and when plugged in it still doesnt work and theirs power to the outlet
1 Answer Fred, Your electronic control in your door controls compressor and fans and reads the thermistor to determine when cooling is needed. Sounds like this would be your issue. 297370602 Read More...
Richard December 01, 2018 for Model Number 253.28432800 My freezer intermittently stops cooling . I can unplug it and plug it back in and it starts cooling again. One time when I noticed it had thawed I happen to feel the side of the box and it was warm indicating the compressor was running. This isnt always the case so I'm a bit confused. Not sure how/ what initiates the defrost cycle and how its controlled. What does the defrost t-stat do, initiate or end the defrost cycle. I will check the heater and the defrost t-stat for continuity. Suggestion / advice would be appreciated RC
1 Answer Richard, The part that would control the defrost on this unit it would be the control board 297370602. Read More...
