Kenmore Refrigerator Repair in Houses, Apartments and Rentals
We have no affiliation with Kenmore and are not one of its service centers. A refrigerator still covered by the Kenmore warranty belongs with Kenmore first. Once it's out of coverage, give us the model number and the symptom when you book so we can look into parts ahead of time.
How a Refrigerator Repair Visit Works
Describe the Problem
The brand, the model number if it's handy, and what the appliance is doing. A photo of the rating label is a bonus.
Diagnosis On Site
The technician tests the appliance and its power, water, drain, gas or vent until the failed part is found.
Explanation and Quote
You hear what failed and what the repair costs, then decide. Nothing starts without your OK.
Repair and Test
The part goes in, the appliance runs a cycle, and you see that it works before we leave.
What's inside a Kenmore refrigerator
The prefix changes everything with a Kenmore refrigerator. A 106 unit is built by Whirlpool, where the repeat offenders are the defrost heater and its thermostat, the evaporator fan and the ice maker module. A 253 unit comes from Frigidaire, with its own ice maker design, damper controls on some models, and evaporator fans that get noisy with frost. A 795 unit comes from LG, and some use LG's linear compressor and an ice maker mounted in the door that can frost up. Symptoms overlap across all three, like a warm top shelf over a frozen freezer, but the parts and test procedures do not. We identify the builder first, then test the defrost system, fans and controls for that design.
Parts that tend to fail on Kenmore refrigerators
- Defrost heater or thermostat failed
- Evaporator fan noisy or stopped
- Ice maker not cycling
- In-door ice maker frosting up on LG-built units
- Water valve leaking

Kenmore Refrigerator: Questions We Hear
Quick answers to what people ask most. If yours isn't here, bring it up on the phone or type it into the notes box when you book.
Something else on your mind?
Reach out with the brand, the symptom and a model number if you have one. Some questions we can answer on the spot; the rest a technician can check in person.
Usually not. A cold freezer shows the sealed system is working. The common causes are a defrost failure that ices the evaporator, a stopped evaporator fan, or a damper that is stuck. The model prefix tells us which design to test.
Yes. A 795-prefix Kenmore uses LG's design and parts, so it gets diagnosed with LG's procedures. Some have a linear compressor, and a sealed-system fault on one is a bigger decision we explain before quoting.
