Kenmore 25326062102 freezer Parts

To reset (silence) the temperature alarm on your Kenmore 25326062102 upright freezer, press ALARM OFF or ALARM RESET on the control panel. The alarm sound stops right away, but the temp alarm light or display can keep blinking until the freezer returns to a safe temperature (details in the owner's manual).

• The buzzer stops when you press ALARM OFF or ALARM RESET.
• The red Temp Alarm indicator can keep blinking until the freezer is cold enough again.
• If the unsafe temperature condition continues, the alarm can sound again later.
• On some electronic-control models, the display may show a high-temp condition and beep until reset.

• Door left ajar or not sealing (warm air leaks in)
• Freezer was just plugged in or restarted and is still pulling down temperature
• Large amount of warm food added at once
• Airflow blocked inside (packages against vents)
• Frost buildup affecting cooling or airflow

1. Confirm the door is fully closed and the gasket is sealing all the way around.
2. Set the control back to your normal setting and give it time to recover.
3. Avoid opening the door repeatedly while it cools.
4. Check for heavy frost on the back wall (can point to a defrost issue).
5. If the alarm is tied to a door-ajar condition, inspect the door switch.

A repeating high-temp alarm usually means the freezer temperature is rising into an unsafe range. Resetting the alarm stops the noise, but fixing the cause protects food quality and helps prevent excessive frost and compressor run time.

An upright freezer like Kenmore 25326062102 usually stops freezing because cold air is not being moved properly, the temperature control is set incorrectly, the door is leaking warm air, or the defrost system is iced up. Start with temperature settings, door sealing, and airflow checks before testing parts.

• Confirm the freezer has been running at least 4 hours after being plugged in before judging temperature.
• Verify the temperature control setting; adjust slightly colder and allow several hours to stabilize between changes.
• Make sure the door closes fully and is not being held open by packages or baskets.
• Check for heavy frost (about 1/4 to 1/2 inch); excessive frost points to a defrost or door-seal problem.
• Avoid overloading; freezing too much warm food at once forces long run times and poor cooling.

When airflow is blocked (ice buildup) or warm air leaks in (bad gasket), the freezer can run constantly but still warm up. Fixing the root cause protects food quality and prevents repeat icing.

1. Unplug the freezer.
2. Defrost and clean it safely (plastic scraper only).
3. After restart, watch for frost returning quickly; that confirms a door-seal or defrost-system issue.

On Kenmore upright freezer model 25326062102, the defrost drain is on the inside floor of the freezer under a removable drain plug; the drain exits through an external drain tube underneath the cabinet (typically near the left-center area behind the base panel). See the owner's manual for the exact drain-plug and tube location on your unit.

• Inside the freezer: a drain plug in the floor; pull it straight out to open the drain
• Under the freezer: an external drain tube where defrost water flows out
• If your model has a base panel: remove the base panel screws to access the tube
• Drain pan or shallow pan: place it under the tube to catch water

1. Unplug the freezer before defrosting.
2. Remove food and leave the door open.
3. Pull the inside floor drain plug straight out.
4. If equipped with a base panel, remove it and locate the external drain tube underneath.
5. Set a shallow pan under the tube and monitor it so it does not overflow.

The drain opening and drain tube route defrost water out of the cabinet. If the drain is left open after defrosting, warm air can enter and increase frost buildup, temperature swings, and energy use.

On Kenmore upright freezer model 25326062102, the model and serial number label is typically on the upper left wall inside the freezer compartment. This is the fastest place to check before looking behind the kick plate or on exterior panels; see the owner's manual.

Check these spots in order (they are the most likely locations for upright freezers):

• Upper left interior wall inside the freezer (most common)
• Side wall inside the cabinet near the front opening
• Ceiling area inside the freezer on some upright designs
• Behind the lower kick plate (toe grille) at the front
• Back exterior panel near the bottom

1. Open the freezer door and use a flashlight.
2. Look for a white or silver sticker or metal plate.
3. Wipe frost or condensation off the wall so the print is readable.
4. Record both the model number and serial number exactly as shown.

The tag usually includes:

• Model number (for this unit, it will read 253.26062102 or similar formatting)
• Serial number
• Electrical ratings (volts/amps)
• Refrigerant information

We use the exact model number to match the correct Kenmore freezer parts list, diagrams, and compatible items like a door switch, door gasket, or electronic control board. One digit off can pull the wrong parts for your freezer.
