Kenmore Refrigerator Repair – North Canton, OH (253.68822012)

A Kenmore refrigerator at a North Canton home wasn’t cooling properly despite recent coil cleaning. Our diagnosis revealed a bad fan motor that needed replacement to restore proper cooling function.

The Problem

The customer reported their refrigerator was not cooling properly. The 6-7 year old unit was past warranty, and cooling coils had been recently cleaned but showed no noticeable improvement in performance.

Diagnosis

Our inspection identified a bad fan motor as the root cause of the cooling issues. The faulty motor wasn’t circulating air properly through the refrigeration system, preventing effective cooling despite the recently cleaned coils.

The Repair

• Parts replaced: 242077705 — fan motor
• Work performed: Replaced fan motor
• Result: Refrigerator restored to proper cooling operation

Is It Worth Repairing?

For a 6-7 year old Kenmore refrigerator, replacing a fan motor is typically a worthwhile repair. These units often have 12-15 year lifespans with proper maintenance, so this repair should provide several more years of reliable service at a fraction of replacement cost.

Maintenance Tips for Kenmore Refrigerators

• Clean condenser coils every 6 months to prevent motor strain and maintain efficiency
• Keep door seals clean and check for proper closure to reduce workload on cooling components
• Replace water filters regularly and clean interior vents to ensure proper airflow
