Figure enough guys on here have freezers so maybe someone can tell me my problem. I have a Kenmore Elite chest deep freeze. It's a good size unit, something like 21cubic ft. Anyway last fall on really hot days the freezer would creep up in temp. It's in the garage. Never gets above say 10 but I keep it at -5. Now that we are getting some warm days again I've noticed it again. Only a few degrees though because it's not been to hot. The unit is about 12yrs old and I've never had a lick of trouble. I'm trying to figure out if it's worth a $200 service call on a 12yr old freezer. I've been told Freon doesn't wear out only leaks out and if it has a leak it's not worth fixing. Anyway anyone been in this boat? Leaving for Idaho spring bear and hopefully returning with my first ever bear meat to freeze!
