A Kenmore French door refrigerator in Carrollton wasn’t sealing properly, causing temperature concerns for the homeowner. When we arrived at the Northstar Street location, we found the issue wasn’t with the door seals themselves but with something blocking the freezer drawer from closing completely.
The Problem
The customer reported that the doors were not sealing properly on their Kenmore French door refrigerator. This type of sealing issue can lead to temperature fluctuations and higher energy bills.
Diagnosis
Upon inspection, we discovered that the basket in the freezer drawer had become dislodged and was dragging. This prevented the drawer from closing properly, which in turn affected the overall door seal of the refrigerator.
The Repair
- Parts replaced: None required
- Work performed: Repositioned the dislodged freezer basket
- Result: Drawer now closes properly, restoring proper door seal
Is It Worth Repairing?
Kenmore refrigerators are generally solid appliances with good longevity. Since this was a simple adjustment with no parts needed, it was definitely worth the minimal repair cost to restore proper function and prevent energy waste from poor sealing.
Maintenance Tips for Kenmore Refrigerators
- Check freezer baskets and drawers monthly to ensure they’re properly seated and sliding smoothly
- Clean door seals regularly with warm soapy water to maintain proper sealing
- Avoid overloading freezer compartments which can cause baskets to shift or become dislodged
