Sean October 29, 2013 for Model Number 106.54589400 My Kenmore freezer never stops running and the temp is -35 degrees. The freezer is turning the food rock solid with frost all over it. The defrost cycle is working normally. I unplugged the unit and cleaned all the ice after dropping the freezer temp down to 1 with 1 being cold, 4 normal and 7 coldest and the problem still exists. The fridge side is set at 3 and everything seems to be good on that side. I did see a few ice drips on the air vent coming from the freezer into the fridge. I ran the diagnostics and everything passed (FC Thermistor, RC Thermistor, Evaporator Fan Motor, Compressor and Condenser Fan Motor, Air Baffle Motor and Defrost Heater/Bi-metal. What do you think is causing my freezer to be so cold? Your assistance is greatly appreciated.
1 Answer Hello Sean, This will have to be a set of welded relay contacts on the electronic control 8201661. Read More...
Dave October 20, 2013 for Model Number ksra251 My water dispenser keeps dripping water after getting water. A few months earlier the ice maker stopped making ice. Any ideas would be helpful.
1 Answer Hello Dave, The water inlet valve is always the first suspect with the water dispenser dripping as long as the water pressure supplied to the unit is sufficient. If the water valve isn't the issue with the ice maker, the ice maker assembly will normally solve the issue. If you could post the complete model number or call us at 1-877-477-7278, we can assist you in locating the correct part for your model. Read More...
Dennis October 18, 2013 for Model Number ed25pwxan01 Ice maker has ice in it but wont dump the ice. It seems the dial on front of unit stays in one place does not turn.
1 Answer Hello Dennis. It sounds like the icemaker assembly 4317943 is bad and will need to be replaced in the unit. Read More...
Pam September 16, 2013 for Model Number Sears Sorry I do not have the model with me Ice Maker not making ice period. I have water also which works fine. I replaced the water module in the rear bottom of the Ref. Did not have any affect on the unit. The paddle would periododically get stuck I would rinse it out and it would work again. There are (2) what appear to be sensors one on the left of the ref and one on the right that turns the maker on and off however it has a red light blinking which I have been unable to determine what it means. Do you think it could be the sensor which tells if the bin is full?
1 Answer Hello Pam. Make sure the freezer is between 0° and 5°. You need to check and see if there is power going to the water valve when the icemaker cycles. If so, replace the water valve on the unit. If not, or the icemaker does not cycle, you will need to replace the icemaker on the unit. Also, check and make sure the fill tube on the unit is not frozen and clogged. If so, replace the water valve and thaw out the fill tube. You can test this with a multi-meter TJMA-DMT3.

Andy D September 04, 2013 for Model Number Model #10658962700 KENMORE ELITE SIDE BY SIDE REFRIGERATOR Hi, the freezer side is working just fine, but the fridge side is not. Is there a seperate thermostat for the fridge side? And if so ,where is it located? Could it be something else? No ice bulid up. Coils are clean. Thanks.
1 Answer Hello Andy. If there is no ice build up, you will need to check the fan motor and the damper assembly in the unit to see if they are bad. Read More...
Mario August 05, 2013 for Model Number szd20kw I require a cycling thermostat for the ice maker, I require a product number.
1 Answer Mario, the icemaker thermostat does not come available seprate from the icemaker on your model. You'll need to order a new icemaker, part number D7824706Q. The icemaker does not include the harness WPD7813010, front cover WPW10289690, or shut off arm WP67004028. Thanks! Read More...
Anna April 14, 2013 for Model Number MSD 2722GRW One day water pouring out from the ice maker. I found ice was stuck on the ice maker. I knocked all the ice into the bin but it did not stop. I had shut the water supply to the ice maker. Is it the sensor bad?
1 Answer Anna, You will want to check the icemaker module to make sure that it did not get stuck in the fill position. If the fingers of the icemaker are in the 11:30 to 12 o'clock position then this is the fill position. Check to make sure that the pins in the big gear on the front are not broken. If they are pushed together or one of the pins is broken then the icemaker module W10190935 will need to be replaced. If this is the case it may also be necessary to replace the water valve due to the icemaker sticking could have caused the water valve 61005626 to stick open. Read More...

Joe B. March 14, 2013 for Model Number Kenmore fridge 106.58782890 Thermostat control top of R hand door inside. When I set it on 4.5, it keeps it at about 32 degrees. When I try to lower it (to get a slightly warmer temp), compressor shuts off and won't start again unless I turn the thermostat off and turn it back to 4.5. I assume the thermostat is underneath the panel attached to the dial, right? Doesn't it sound like I need a new thermostat? Need help soonest. Thanks.
1 Answer Hello Joe. Based on the information you provided, it sounds like the thermostat WP2198202 is bad will need to be replaced. Read More...
Mike March 07, 2013 for Model Number GI5SAXVY02 I recently purchased an ice maker. Do you have to reset it once it's installed?
