When defrosting the upright freezer water that we were unable to catch was going down a drain hole located on the bottom of the freezer. Where does this water go?

795.73302601: Kenmore Evaporator fan failure, no tech sheet

Tue, 09 Dec 2025 20:47:23 -0700

Hello all!. I'm a 54 year old disabled woman who's 20+ old fridge just suffered an evaporator fan failure. Given that I am on disability and am likely to be taken advantage of by most repair companies due to the sin of being female and therefore "gullible" I'm trying to find as much information as possible before contacting anyone for a repair quote. Problem is, my tech sheet was apparently lost in one of my past moves. Can anyone figure out how to get this thing in diagnostic mode so I can figure out exactly what is going on? In my experience, forewarned is forearmed.

Also, any idea how long it will be until the fan failure starts causing a cascade of other problems that result in it being cheaper to just replace it?

Thanks for any help you can give me!

It's not cooling or freezing but the compressor is warm which tells me that it's working, do you think I need to replace the relay switch or thermostat?

Kenmore Freezer: Why is my freezer not cooling?

Mon, 10 Nov 2025 11:51:12 -0700

My family has had a Kenmore Elite freezer (model # 253.28092803) for a little over five years. It has stopped running, but the lights are on inside. The display shows 0- instead of 0 F. The buttons on the display aren't working, they just beep when you push them. How do we get this fixed?

Kenmore Freezer: Freezer lid liner separated from lid

Sat, 23 Aug 2025 19:12:01 -0700

I have a Sears freezer model 253.16542105. It's around 20 years old. Ice has collected between the lid and its liner, and the liner has separated from the lid. Many of the little plastic fasteners have popped off.

I have questions:

It looks like I'm going to need replacements for the little plastic fasteners that hold the lid, liner, and gasket together. Perhaps I'll be able to find some of them when I defrost but probably not all of them. Sears charges $88.74 for a set of them (part #5304406520). Is there a way to get cheaper fasteners that will work?
Why/how does this problem happen?
Does this problem indicate a problem with the gasket? Should I replace the gasket too?
Is there a different kind of insulation I can use in the lid that doesn't absorb condensation which then freezes?

Frigidaire Freezer FFFH20F3W: Frigidaire Upright Freezer Not Sealing and not getting as cold

Mon, 26 May 2025 13:24:23 -0700

I have a two year old upright Frigidaire LFFH20F3QW that used to make a ‘sealing’ or ‘suction’ sound when closing, it stopped doing that in the last two days quite suddenly and we noticed items are not as ‘cold’ as they used to be. There also seems to be alot more frost inside where this never had frost before. It is ‘frost free’ with no drain. What brought this to our attention was that we found a small puddle of water on the ground by the bottom right of the unit.

Freezer: How do I replace the handle on a freezer/evaporator compartment

Tue, 29 Apr 2025 13:40:07 -0700

I have just replaced the handle on the interior freezer/evaporator compartment of a LEC refridgerator. I had to use brute force and slightly damaged some brackets.

How should I have done this properly? Is there some tool that would help?
