Good day all. I have a stand alone Kenmore Freezer that is almost 20 years old. This baby has been flawless and never had an issue. I am noticing lately that it is cooling just fine, but compressor never turns off. Any ideas what can cause this? Bad Fan, thermostat, low on refrigerant, etc... Any help or info greatly appreciated.

check out the thermostat. after all it's just a switch. the bulb may be in or near the surface of the box. -
Model number?
I'm afraid that is not enough information to identify the appliance in question. What is needed is its exact model number. If you post it we can at least look it up to see what appliance design you're dealing with.Kenmore Freezer that is almost 20 years old

Is it getting WAY too cold?it is cooling just fine, but compressor never turns off.
If it WAS cooling properly it should be colder than normal after running continually. If it is not way too cold, it is NOT cooling properly and someone should be looking into why.
Until we know the appliance's model number we don't even know what parts it has that might cause problems. Once you post that and clarify the symptoms we may be able to suggest a course of action.Any ideas what can cause this? Bad Fan, thermostat, low on refrigerant, etc...

I'm afraid I can find no listing for such a model number. Is this an American product or Canadian? If American please double check that number.Kenmore Model # 408.8185580
Fahrenheit? If so than it IS too cold and the thermostat may be the cause of it running continually.Temperature is -9.2
You would either need a different model number to try to trace a replacement thermostat or the numbers printed on the original thermostat.
