Kenmore Elite Model # 52603100 moter running not cooling fridge or freezer. It has been in storage plugged in now for 5 days
First off how far did it get leaned when moved and second it might just need to be cleaned.
If you laid it down when it was moved it should have been left unplugged for 12 hrs before plugging in because the refridgerant used is also a lubricant and it needs time to settle.
As far as cleaning it you will need to take off the back panel and use a vac to clean out the dust.There is also a kickplate on the front that needs to come off and clean the cooling grates that are under there.If you have a dryer brush it works great for cleaning the grates.You can get between them with it.
Unplug it before you do any of this.
Switch off the fridge and after about 6 hours plug in the fridge to start. Observe cooling to happen in about one hour and ice to from under three hours.
Earlier make sure that the thermostat was set to normal mode for freezer and fridge.
However if Ice forms then observe the fridge for about 24 hours for cooling to continue and the fridge to cut off . If not the auto defrost timer, or the thermostat must be checked.
The circulation fan must be checked to work as if frost forms it can be stuck up . So check if the defrost timer works and also if the heaters are working, check continuity of the heaters.
So try this test from the outside and make your observations so that we come to the solution.
