Frank November 24, 2023 for Model Number 111.75035120 Kenmore Refrigerator. One year old. Refrigerator compartment to warm, 45 degrees 55 degrees (varies). Freezer gets cold but varies. Frost forms on condenser motor & coils. Defrost doesn’t seem to be working. Fans rub on frost Chrystals. Can’t get water through the new water filter. (I’m thinking of scraping it but it’s not completely paid for so that’s out. Please help!
1 Answer Frank, this could be caused by a defrost heater 60128-0016100-00, a left defrost sensor 60148-0003400-01, or a right defrost sensor 60148-0009200-00. In regards to the water, if the water pressure is between 40 to 100 PSI, there may be an issue in the filter and tank assembly 30182-0005200-00. Read More...
Corky May 07, 2022 for Model Number FFTR2126LK6 Freezer is cold. Fridge is very slightly cool. Removed fridge upper cover had electrical component burnt smell. I suspect its the cold control? FYI Fan was blowing and defrost component did not have burnt terminals. I did notice some frozen water on back wall of freezer section.
1 Answer Corky, Thanks for the question!!! Maybe a defrost issue. Not sure the cold control would smell burnt. Here is a video link from our YouTube page that will help. https://youtu.be/fFNi50tdeto Read More...
Mike V May 01, 2022 for Model Number FFTR1814QS4A Freezer does not go below 10 degrees and refrigerator doesn't remain cold. The compressor is running, all fans are operational, and the frost pattern seems normal. I have also cleaned all coils for any dust that may affect operation. So far I have replaced both door gaskets, defrost thermostat, temperature control thermostat, and the defrost timer. Any suggestions of what the issue could be as I'm at a loss at this point.
1 Answer Mike, If the compressor and the fans are running and it does not pull down cold enough then it would likely be a sealed system issue. You will likely need an EPA-certified tech for these repairs. Read More...
Al May 11, 2021 for Model Number WWTR1502KW0 freezer is fine but the refrigerator has to be set to max cold to get the cooling desired a bottle of water is at 53.7 degrees in the refrigerator at max cold.
1 Answer Al, it would be recommended that the air vent and return ducts are inspected for any blockages. If they are clear, the evaporator would need to be inspected for any sections blocked up with ice that could limit airflow. If everything checks out ok, it would be likely that the evaporator fan motor 241854301 is not operating efficiently. Read More...

Joseph August 15, 2020 for Model Number FRT17B3AW3 Hi. Refrigerator does not get cold. Does not matter which temp setting is used on refrigerator dial temp setting. Freezer works fine. Noticed very little cold air blowing into refrigerator to keep refrigerator cool. Thanks.
1 Answer Joseph, It is very likely that the airway to the refrigerator is blocked with ice. Either from a defrost drain problem or a defrost issue itself. You will need to remove the rear panel of the freezer and clear any ice has formed on the floor of the freezer and if solid ice has formed in the evaporator coils then a component of the defrost cycle has failed.

Berth March 10, 2020 for Model Number FFTR2021TW2 The temperature of the freezer can vary from -17 to 37 degrees in a few hours. The fridge part remains constant around 41 degrees. After I turn the cold control to get the compressor running, the compressor will not shut off till the cold control is way past the point where the compressor turned on. There is a frost pattern on the freezer coils. I'm thinking that the cold control needs to be replaced but I'm puzzled why the temp of fridge part remains almost constant. At $74 for the cold control, I'd like to get a second opinion.
1 Answer Hello Beth, this sounds like the cold control is starting to fail, part 241537103. It only measures the air temp in the fresh food section, however, the freezer should not be able to reach that high a temperature. Read More...
Larry February 27, 2020 for Model Number U23W the freezer runs but does't shut off when I turn the control to off it keeps on runing
1 Answer Larry, the model number is incorrect or incomplete so we can't check or verify the part needed, but you are on track, the cold control is basically a single pole single throw switch. If the contacts "stick" closed, or the chemical in the capillary tube has leaked out, the switch remains closed and the compressor will continue to run. Thanks, Read More...
Jim September 14, 2019 for Model Number fridgedair lfht1713lw1 Fridge quit working, not cooling or freezing. Cabinet light on and can hear defrost timer running. Turn the screw on timer and fan comes on in the freezer compartment. Light on behind coil cover stays on. Heater? The compressor doesn't come on. 10 yr old unit.
1 Answer Jim, This issue would most likely be caused by a faulty defrost timer where the contacts are not making for the compressor to come on. Read More...
Barbara August 04, 2018 for Model Number FRT18IL6DWC My refrigerator has a few problems: I have a lot of water in the bottom of the refrigerator below the crispers. Too much moisture in the fresh foods area The refrigerator runs for a very long time without shutting off. The freezer portion does NOT freeze and is basically the temperature of what you'd normally find in the fresh foods area. Can't afford a NEW Frig, so what do you suggest to fix my problems?
1 Answer Barbara, try checking your door gaskets to make sure you have no gaps along the door seal, see if there is a drain issue, this will cause water to form under the crisper drawers, check the freezer evaporator to see if it is iced up, you may have a defrost problem which would cause your temps to rise.
