Kenmore Refrigerator Repair in Houses, Townhomes and Condos
We are independent: not a Kenmore service center, and not authorized by Kenmore. If your refrigerator is still inside the Kenmore warranty, go to the manufacturer first. Once it's past that coverage, a model number in your booking lets us source parts ahead of the visit.
How a Refrigerator Repair Visit Works
Book the Visit
Call or use the form. Name the make and describe the fault; a model number, if handy, speeds up parts.
Find the Fault
At your place, the technician checks the appliance and whatever feeds it (power, water, drain, gas or venting) until the cause is clear.
Approve the Price
You get a plain explanation and a price for the repair. The work starts only if you say yes.
Fix and Check
The new part is fitted and the appliance is run through a cycle, so you can see it working.
What's inside a Kenmore refrigerator
With a Kenmore refrigerator, the supplier code steers the whole visit. A 106 model is a Whirlpool design, where the familiar failures are the defrost heater and its bimetal, the fan that pushes air across the evaporator, and the ice maker itself. A 253 model is Frigidaire underneath, with that maker's ice maker, air damper on many units, and evaporator fans that rattle when they hit frost. A 795 model is LG, and some of those use a linear compressor and an ice maker in the door that tends to frost up. From the outside the symptoms look alike, usually a warm fresh-food side under a working freezer, but the parts and test sequence differ. We pin down the builder first, then check defrost, airflow and controls. In a humid Maryland summer, a door that doesn't quite close also shows up quickly as sweating and frost.
Parts that tend to fail on Kenmore refrigerators
- Defrost heater or bimetal open
- Evaporator fan rattling or stopped
- Ice maker module not cycling
- Door ice maker frosting on LG-built units
- Water inlet valve dripping

Kenmore Refrigerator Repair Questions
The questions that come up most often. Anything not covered here, ask us when you call, or add it to the booking form's notes field.
Have a different question?
Tell us what make it is and what's going wrong. A few things can be settled over the phone, and anything else gets looked at during the visit.
Usually not. A cold freezer means the sealed system is doing its job. More often the coil has iced over because defrost stopped working, the fan behind the freezer panel has quit, or an air damper is stuck closed. The model prefix tells us which design we are testing.
On 795-prefix models the door ice compartment depends on a tight seal and a working fan and heater around it. When warm, humid air gets in or a heater fails, frost builds up and ice clumps. We check the seals, the compartment fan and the heater before replacing the ice maker.
