The Kenmore 253.9163210 is a discontinued / legacy Frigidaire-built chest freezer — no longer in production, but we still service it. Shares its compressor and thermostat design with the Frigidaire-built upright models in the same 253 family.
Kenmore upright and chest freezers (typically 253-prefix, Frigidaire-built) are setpoint controlled and diagnosed by symptom: not freezing, frost buildup, running constantly, or a failed start relay, thermostat, or defrost part.
