Kenmore Refrigerator Repair – North Canton, OH (2537041941A)

A Kenmore refrigerator in North Canton wasn’t making ice and had ice building up on the bottom of the freezer. The funnel on the icemaker had broken off, causing water to dump straight into the freezer where it froze and created frost buildup.

The Problem

The customer reported their Kenmore refrigerator was not making ice and ice was building up on bottom of freezer. This combination of symptoms typically points to a mechanical failure in the ice maker assembly itself.

Diagnosis

The funnel on the icemaker had broken off. When it cycled, it was just putting the water straight into the bottom of the freezer where it froze and created ice/frost. Without the funnel to direct water into the ice molds, the system couldn’t function properly.

The Repair

• Parts replaced: 241798233 — ICE MAKER
• Work performed: Complete ice maker replacement
• Result: Water now properly directed into ice molds, no more freezer floor ice buildup

Is It Worth Repairing?

Kenmore refrigerators from this era are generally worth repairing, especially for a straightforward ice maker replacement. These units typically run 15-20 years with proper maintenance, and replacing the ice maker is much more cost-effective than buying a new refrigerator.

Maintenance Tips for Kenmore Refrigerators

• Replace the water filter every 6 months to prevent mineral buildup in the ice maker
• Clean the ice maker monthly with a vinegar solution to prevent scale deposits
• Check door seals regularly — Kenmore models from this generation are prone to seal deterioration
