My parents’ kenmore elite freezer was beeping at them for weeks, displaying a “b” on the LED screen.
I wasn’t able to find much good info on the web about how to replace the battery so I decided to write this short blog.
It needed a new 9v battery which is replaced on the front of the freezer below the door.

Thanks! I read every page of the manual and couldn’t find the battery compartment. Your blog info is just what I needed!

This posting could not have been more timely. I have just been through two hurricanes (Gustav and Ike) and today is the first time in ten days that we have actually felt comfortable enough to put something in the frezzer. The light was flashing and I figured we had blown something up. I guess the battery went dead – flashing for 10 days and I can not recall the last time I repleced it or HOW I replaced it. It’s the simple things in life……..

I like the internet, it is a place where you can find anything. We had no idea it was the battery. Thanks for posting the information.

THANKS for the great tip. I would add that the battery is in different locations on different models. Ours is on the left side at the bottom behind a small door. Inside our freezer on the lid is a list of what the codes mean. GOOD LUCK!!

Awesome. Our freezer did the same thing and we couldn’t find the manual nor figure out how to replace the battery. Technology is so great, isn’t it?

Very helpful–our freezer stopped working and the damned beeper starfted–after calling Sears and being told that they would have to send a service tech out to fix the problem, I checked this site, changed the battery and all is well. The battery location is ridiculous.
Thanks.

Darn thing buzzed for days between “b” and temperature. Reset didn’t work. Never associated the “b” with a low battery; had it figured out for a “6″. as in 6 degrees F. Thanks a million for the info. It was much appreciated.

Thanks! This worked for me too. Replaced the 9v battery and all is well. I too thought the “b” showing in the display was a 6, and the freezer was failing. Whew! What a relief…

Thanks sooooo much. Ours kept beeping too, and I too, thought the freezer was failing. The web is such a wonderful tool!

Thank you so much. I can’t tell you how long I’ve been trying to figure this out and stop that infernal beeping. You’re a saint.

Thank you SO much. The beeping was becoming unbearable.

Thank you so much! Once I saw the pic, I remembered seeing it when we first bought the freezer 5 1/2 years ago. What a long-lasting battery we had! Thanks again.

Oh Wow!! I guess I’m not the only one who had to endure that incessant beeping. I too associated the ‘b’ with a 6 for degrees. Truth be known we have had to reset that darn thing every day for the last 2 years. You are a god send.

Freezer was beeping for days. Thanksgiving day I decided I couldn’t take it any more. Googled. Beeping kenmore elite freezer. Came upon your blog. Picture is fantastic. Went to the garage. 10 minutes later. FIXED. Thank you so much.

Wow, we kept hitting a button on the front and it would stop for 5 minutes, then start again. It was awful. So glad you posted this.

This blog changed our lives!! We’ve been a slave to our freezer for 4 years and hoped it would wear itself out…. Wishful thinking I guess. I stumbled upon this page and ran down to the freezer to investigate the battery! It worked!!! Hallelujah praise the Lord! You were an answer to our prayers!! Haha. Thanks so much!
-Freezer slaves set free!

Yay! Thank you, yes Sears wanted to send someone out. I really don’t know how I would have reacted to that.

How awesome you are, to relay this info. I , like many others, have a manual that is mia, pulled up this website and , low and behold , here is the answer to our problem.I too thought the b was a 6… Crazy Stuff!
Again Thank You!

Where is the battery on a chest freezer?

THANK YOU!! My freezer was beeping all weekend! I couldn’t find where the battery was! It’s not in the maual as stated….

This must be on stand up versions only, mine is a chest freezer and i’m not sure where to look

I just moved my freezer (4 years old) to another location. When I plugged it back in the display screen worked fine for about 2 hours, then shut off completely, and the beeping began. If I hit reset it shuts off for 12 hours and then begins again. The freezer itself is working just fine, it just has no display screen and the ever annoying beeping! I changed the battery but still no display and the beeping continues. Can anyone help? Thanks!

Thank you, check down at the Greyhound Station, I am sending you my firstborn son in return for this information! He eats a lot but is really a good kid and we are so thankful for getting rid of the beeping that we feel it is worth the trade.

Thanks so much! I just got through Hurricane Irene. Could not figure out what the freezer’s problem was. I thought it was cycling between zero and 6 degrees. Who would have thought a battery was the problem? Thank heaven our freezer is in the garage otherwise I would be a raving lunatic.

WOW! Thank you for taking the time to post this blog. It saved all of us a lot of time. Thank you thank you!
