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.
