Kenmore Refrigerator Repair – Winton, OH (795.77542600)

A Kenmore refrigerator in Winton wasn’t making ice — just producing a grinding noise from the ice maker. We diagnosed a failed ice maker assembly and completed the repair with a drop-shipped replacement part.

The Problem

The customer reported their ice maker doesn’t work and just makes a grinding noise. The unit had stopped producing ice entirely while the grinding sound indicated internal mechanical failure within the ice maker assembly.

Diagnosis

The ice maker assembly had failed internally, causing the grinding noise when attempting to cycle. The mechanical components inside the assembly were no longer functioning properly, preventing normal ice production and creating the audible grinding during operation.

The Repair

• Parts replaced: AEQ57518201 — Ice Maker Assembly
• Work performed: Drop shipped ice maker to customer
• Result: Ice maker assembly replaced, normal ice production restored

Is It Worth Repairing?

Kenmore refrigerators are generally reliable appliances, and ice maker failures are common repair items that don’t indicate broader system problems. Since the main refrigeration system was working properly, replacing the ice maker assembly was a cost-effective repair that extended the appliance’s useful life significantly.

Maintenance Tips for Kenmore Refrigerators

• Replace the water filter every 6 months to prevent ice maker clogs and ensure clean ice production
• Clean the ice maker monthly by removing ice and wiping down the interior surfaces
• Check that the ice maker is level and the water line connections are secure to prevent operational issues
