Kenmore Refrigerator Repair – Mt Eaton, OH (59669319010)

A Kenmore refrigerator at a Mt Eaton home stopped cooling completely. The homeowner called when they noticed food spoiling and no cold air coming from the vents. We found evaporator coils iced over with a faulty control board preventing proper defrost cycles.

The Problem

The customer reported their refrigerator not cooling. Food was warming up and the unit wasn’t maintaining temperature in either the fresh food or freezer sections.

Diagnosis

Inspection revealed evaporator coils iced over. The manual defrost was working, which indicated the defrost heater and thermostat were functional. This pointed to a control board failure that wasn’t initiating automatic defrost cycles, allowing ice buildup to block airflow.

The Repair

• Parts replaced: WPW10503278 — control board
• Work performed: Replaced control board
• Result: Refrigerator resumed normal cooling operation with proper defrost timing

Is It Worth Repairing?

Kenmore refrigerators from this era are generally solid units worth repairing when the issue is a control board failure. These models typically have good compressor longevity, and a control board replacement can extend the appliance life significantly. The repair cost is usually reasonable compared to replacement on a functioning refrigerator.

Maintenance Tips for Kenmore Refrigerators

• Keep condenser coils clean — Kenmore units with bottom-mounted coils need quarterly cleaning for optimal performance
• Check door seals regularly and wipe down with mild soap to maintain proper seal integrity
• Don’t overfill the refrigerator — Kenmore models need adequate airflow around vents for even cooling
