Bob Garness February 26, 2024 for Model Number 253.16082108 This is a Kenmore chest freezer. The panel on the lid is flashing "CE" and the beeper is going. I read this is a communication problem with the lid panel and the machine and the lid panel should be replaced. Do I also need the circuit board at the compressor? Or is this something else? Thank you.
1 Answer Bob, This should just be a control issue at the lid and should not need the control by the compressor. Read More...
Ron February 13, 2023 for Model Number 253.24092103 This unit came to us second hand, it turns on and cools but it does not seem to shut off and continues to cool non stop. The control panel on the door has a CE alarm, and the temperature does not change from 61F even though we know the inside is well below 0F. I replaced the control board on the door with part 216979600 and the same issues still persist. Is the issue with main control board or both ?
1 Answer Ron, This would most likely be a faulty main control board as opposed to the user interface. Read More...
Jeffrey December 30, 2022 for Model Number 25326092100 We had a power outage. Since then the freezer alarm has been constant. The display toggles between 0F and 6F. The alarm reset was unresponsive. I unplugged the unit for a few minutes, during which time the display continued to flash a zero and a one, alternately. I figured capacitors must be discharging, and waited for that to stop before powering up. The alarm sounded immediately, but it allowed me to reset this time. The compressor did not come on, so I pressed 'fast freeze'. Compressor came on. I checked box temp with thermocouple, it was at -2F, but display still flashing 0 and 6F. Alarm light is on, no alarm tone.
1 Answer Jeffrey, Based on the information provided this looks to be an issue either with the connection to the board or the board itself. Read More...
Kevin November 28, 2020 for Model Number kenmore 253.16582104 Hello, I have a Kenmore Elite 253.16582104 chest freezer. We had a power outage about a week ago and the freezer display was off. I unplugged the unit for about three minutes and plugged it back in. The top display came on and then went off after about 10 hours. If I unplug it, wait about a minute and then plug it back in I get the same results.... seems to run fine but then completely shuts off after several hours. I am thinking main board, but don't know how to rule out the lid board. Your help or ideas are greatly appreciated.
1 Answer Hello Kevin, based on your description the main control board is failing, part 216979700. Read More...
Frank M June 19, 2019 for Model Number MOD. 253.26082102 My Kenmore Upright freezer gets cold, however the red light over the alarm button has stayed on. I have 'CE" flashing and 28 degree (f) showing. The freezer made Ice the alarm sounded once. How can i fix this issue?
1 Answer Frank, Looks like CE is a microprocessor or a communication error problem. try this first Remove power to the freezer, remove the bottom kick plate and check the wire harness at the freezer door hinge and the connections at the bottom frame to make sure there aren't any loose or broken wires or connections. restore power, if the problem returns or persists, replace the 216979600 / 216979600 Control board in the freezer door. Thanks, , Read More...
Tom November 30, 2016 for Model Number GLFU1767FW2 10 year old Frigidaire upright Freezer .It worked well at -17°C up to 3 weeks ago when the temperature started dropping . Over the course of a week it gradually went down until about -5°C when the alarm beeped. The reset button did not help. I unplugged it and then plugged it back in and over a few hours would increase back up to -14°C and remain there for 12 to about 30 hours when it would start dropping to -5°C and the alarm would go again. Reset would not change it . I have changed the defrost thermostat. What would you suggest is the problem?
1 Answer Hello Tom. It sounds like the main board 216979700 may be bad and need to be replaced on the unit. Read More...
Motoman June 16, 2016 for Model Number GLFU1767FW2 Frigidaire Freezer Freezer door display is out. Freezer runs, but seems to be on constantly and temp is about 15 degrees below zero as measured by thermometer. Based on forum, I bought and installed a new control board (part #216944300). However, the new board did not light up and the freezer acts the same as it did with the old board. What other possible solution do you you recommend? Thanks
1 Answer Hello Motoman. You will need to order and replace the control board 216944300 on the unit. Read More...
Jefald F. January 11, 2015 for Model Number 25324092103 Why does my alarm keep beeping, my controller is on the door. I beleive it's cold enough.
1 Answer There are a couple of "basic" checks to make first. Make sure the door closes and seals properly, the door light switch and light operate properly, and check for a proper temperature. If the interior temperature increases to 23 dgrs. or more for an extended period, then the alarm will sound. If all checks are OK, then replace the control 216979600. Read More...
Jene August 14, 2012 for Model Number glfu2067fw4 My freezer is too cold. The outside electronic temperature blinks -1° to 0°F. The appliance thermometer from the store reads -10°F. What needs to be done to correct the problem?
1 Answer Hello Jene, The logical part to change out first is the thermistor 297018400 since it is the temperature probe that sends the information to the electronic control. When it is installed, it is recommended to use a lubricant to seal moisture out of the splice area. If the thermistor doesn't correct the issue, the electronic control 216944300 will require replacement to return normal operation. Read More...
Andrew B. May 27, 2012 for Model Number GLFU2067FW6 I had the CE code appear on my unit, when you open the door the code clears then you close the door it comes back in a few seconds, I have replaced the cvontrol board on the front and it still flashed the code. The only thing left is this part, I just want to make sure this is it this time. Thank you
