Kenmore Refrigerator Repair – East Sparta, OH (111.73315120)

A Kenmore refrigerator in East Sparta, OH stopped cooling completely while the lights stayed on. The customer reported no noise from the compressor. Our diagnosis revealed a failed inverter board that’s no longer available for replacement.

The Problem

The customer called because their refrigerator was not cooling at all. The lights were still on, but there was no noise from the compressor.

Diagnosis

Testing revealed the inverter board was dead. It had proper 120 V AC power supply as well as 5 V DC, and the compressor pins tested good, confirming the inverter board was the culprit. Unfortunately, this inverter board is no longer available as a replacement part.

The Repair

• Parts replaced: None — inverter board no longer available
• Work performed: Diagnosed failed inverter board
• Result: Customer advised to send board off to get rebuilt and reinstall himself, with our assistance if needed

Is It Worth Repairing?

This older Kenmore model faces parts availability issues as manufacturers discontinue support. Having the inverter board rebuilt is often the most cost-effective solution when replacement parts aren’t available, especially for units that are otherwise in good condition.

Maintenance Tips for Kenmore Refrigerators

• Keep condenser coils clean — dirty coils force the compressor to work harder and can stress electrical components
• Check door seals regularly to prevent the cooling system from overworking
• Avoid overloading the refrigerator, which restricts airflow and increases compressor runtime
