Official Freestanding freezer parts

• Clear out ice that can build up in the drainage line located at the bottom of the freezer to prevent sheets of ice from forming.
• Inspect the seals around the door for any tears or gaps that prevent the freezer from maintaining a constant temperature.
• Dust off condenser coils to eliminate the condenser from having to work overtime when removing heat and to keep cooler temperatures inside of the appliance maintained.
• Replace the light bulb inside of the freezer when it burns out so that you can locate foods quicker and prevent a higher loss of temperature while having the door open.
• Use a liner repair kit to repair any cracks on the inside of the freezer. This will help maintain proper temperatures and work to eliminate condensation inside the freezer.

1. Freezer compressor—The compressor is a pump that compresses refrigerant gas that cools the food to freeze to a certain temperature while maintaining its freshness. The compressed refrigerant expands and cools the air inside the freezer as the refrigerant passes through the evaporator.
2. Door gasket seal—This seal fits around the door of the freezer to lock colder temperatures in and keep heat out. The door gasket seal often becomes misshapen from normal use and should be inspected to ensure that the freezer is running efficiently and temperatures are maintained at a safe level.
3. Condenser coil—The condenser coil cools down the compressed refrigerant before the refrigerant goes through the evaporator to cool the freezer. Clean dust off the condenser coils to help them cool the refrigerant efficiently.
4. Evaporator—The evaporator transfers heat from inside the freezer to the refrigerant that runs through the evaporator lines. A fan circulates air through the evaporator to efficiently cool the freezer.
5. Defrost thermostat—The defrost thermostat shuts off the defrost heater to keep the evaporator from overheating during the defrost cycle.

There are many different types and brands of freestanding freezers out there. To ensure that you're getting the proper replacement parts when maintaining your appliance, you can turn to Sears PartsDirect for assistance.
