The freezer works but not the bottom part - Refrigerators

See if you can
change the thermastat so it also freezws the bottom drawer.

under bottom shelf there are air inlets to fridge take out tray clean ice frominlets

Check that the defrost drain of hole is not blocked

I replaced the solenoid and my ice machine starting working again.

i would check to see if you hear a an blowing in the freezer sect when the door is opened, if you cant hear the fan blowing then there is yout issue, not circulating air up to refrig compartment

Hello pumpguy2
Welcome

You said, you have a Kenmore bottom Freezer Model 596.73503201. It works fine but the freezer has stopped defrosting. Any suggestions?

It is supposed to be auto or self defrosting.
What do you mean you are getting ice forming in the freezer?
Waiting for your response and more detailed explanation.
Huuum

freezer side is working good but cooling side is not cool

might sound stupid but is the fridge controled by a separate thermostat inside the fridge

Check for frost build up behind back panel. Defrost system consist of defrost timer or adaptive control board, defrost heater, defrost thermostat. check them here

you have 2 fans one underneath by compressor ,one in freezer make sure one in freezer is running
