Alan for Model Number 253.28462801

I looked at the issue that someone else posted on the same Kenmore/Frigidare Freezer 253.28462801. The control panel displays various combinations of lights, ajar, alarm, power outage and it cannot be overridden. This has happened to me twice recently - 1) after being unplugged to allow defrosting and then re-plugged. 2) after a brief power outrage where power was restored without manual intervention. In both instances, only after leaving the power cord off for about a minute and then plugging it back in did the freezer start up and act normally. I believe this is a control panel issue. Also, to get to this control panel, it appears that I just pry it off using a putty knife (preferably plastic)? I was initially thinking that I needed to get to it from the inside door, but after reviewing some videos of similar freezers and looking at a question and answer on your web page I believe it is very simple. Please confirm both parts of my inquiry – 1) Do you think that the issue is this part - 297366200 2) And am I correct on how to replace it? Thanks much.

Alan, With how the unit is acting, the control board would be the most likely cause of the issue. The control is just pried off from the front and would be part number 297366200.

Kenmore Freezer 25328452801 Parts The control panel displays various combinations of lights, ajar, alarm, power outage. I replaced the door switch in hopes that it was the door ajar. No go. I plugged it back in a number of times and still got all the different lights, no change pressing alarm reset or any button. Finally, after plugging in and one cycle of flashing and clicking, the compressor started even though the lights were still flashing. Am hour latter display now show 10 and all is well. I am afraid to open it as that is what has seemed to trigger the failure. Do you think it is the control panel? Thanks much.

Allan, You want to do the basic checks first, make sure the door closes and seals, the interior light goes out when the door is closed,and there's no loose connections in the wire harness at the bottom of the door, behind the kickplate grille. Then replace the control 297366200 / 297242000 .

Hello Sandra. You unsnap the old one from the unit, unplug the wires, and then plug into the new board. Then snap new board into place on the unit.
