    First question, how long have you had it?

    Second, have you ever cleaned the back coils? (If there are any)

    Was there a power failure or power surge?

    Have you tried unplugging it from the AC power for about 30 seconds (or longer) and plugging it back in?


    If it is warm inside and everything is defrosted then there is a good chance that the temperature controller PCB may have gone bad, or the compressor is shot.


    Unplugging it for a bit may get a re-start, but if nothing happens and it is above freezing inside, then I would get someone to take a look at it quick.

    If you can't get someone there in a hurry, and you have food inside, then go get some dry ice, 10 to 20 pounds would save your food till someone can get there tomorrow.


    Be sure to wear some gloves when handling the dry ice, as it will freeze your fingers real fast.

    There could be a problem with the start relay or the overload protector.

    But these parts should be tested or replaced by someone who is qualified to do so.


    Sears has parts for this model, but again if you have never worked with appliances, or have done work like this before, then it would be best (and highly advised) to have someone look at it who does this for a living.

    Here is a link to the sears parts department for this brand and model.
