There is usually a pressurized sound when closing the freezer. That sound is gone and my food is not freezing. Not even simple things like popsicles. I checked to make sure nothing was in the way of closing and I even removed the dry wall from behind thinking it was overheating in a closed area. I turned it off and allowed the frost on the back to melt but it is not sealing correctly and can not find any information on line about my model eaither. Help my food is going bad. model 253.44733103 kenmore elite upright
SOURCE: Not Freezing, but cold
The thermostat should be a close circuit when requesting cold temps. or when asking the compressor to come on. The exterior surface on some freezers warm when asking for cold inside. Yours has a condenser coil on the back and that should warm when cooling. If compressor is runningit should be wrm if no freon has leaked from freezer somewhere.
The defrost timer should rotate clockwise during the day and give approx. 3 defrost daily or about every 8 hours. Until the thermostat is resolved and asks for a closed circuit the compressor will not come on. Unplug freezer from outlet,remove thermostat wires, then turn the thermostat to its coldest setting and check again. If no closed circuit the thermostat will need replaced first. Hope this has helped you, Sea Breeze

if the gasket isn't torn and the gap isn't caused by a door hinge problem you might try putting some vaseline on the door seal. If that doesn't help you may have to replace the seal.
SOURCE: Freezer door does not close tightly.
You can try replacing the seals and or adjusting the hinges.
That may work.
Be aware that if the unit is over 10 years old it is probably using twice as much power as a new one would and costing you an extra $75 to $100 annually to run over a new unit. Could be more than that if the door seals are not tight as well.
