where are the coils on a kenmore upright freezer

For most Kenmore upright freezers , the condenser coils are usually under the unit, behind the lower rear access panel or kick plate , near the compressor and condenser fan. In some models, the evaporator coils are inside the freezer compartment behind an interior panel, so they are not visible from the outside.

What to check

• Pull the freezer away from the wall and look at the lower back.
• Remove the bottom rear panel if there is one.
• Look for black tubing/coil loops near the compressor area.

• If you still do not see them, the model may have the coils concealed inside the cabinet rather than exposed at the back.

Quick note

If you’re trying to clean them, unplug the freezer first and use a vacuum or soft brush around the coil area. If you share the model number, I can tell you the exact coil location for that specific Kenmore upright freezer.
