Kenmore Refrigerator Repair – Canton, OH (106.63854302)

We responded to a refrigerator repair call in Canton, OH for a Kenmore unit that was leaking water. Our diagnosis revealed a plugged defrost drain in the freezer that needed clearing and preventive work to stop future blockages.

The Problem

The customer reported the refrigerator was leaking water. This type of water leak often points to drainage issues within the appliance’s defrost system.

Diagnosis

We found a plugged defrost drain in the freezer. When these drains become blocked, water from the defrost cycle has nowhere to go and backs up, eventually leaking out of the refrigerator.

The Repair

• Parts replaced: LAB-REPAIR APPLIANCE
• Work performed: Cleared a plugged defrost drain in the freezer and installed a tab on the heater to prevent it from happening again
• Result: Water leak eliminated with preventive measure in place

Is It Worth Repairing?

Kenmore refrigerators, especially older models like this one, are generally worth repairing when the issue is drainage-related. Defrost drain problems are common but relatively inexpensive fixes compared to replacing the entire unit.

Maintenance Tips for Kenmore Refrigerators

• Check the defrost drain regularly for clogs, especially if you notice water pooling inside
• Keep the area around the drain hole clear of food debris and ice buildup
• Flush the drain line periodically with warm water to prevent future blockages
