Kenmore freeze on the bottom.. model 596-72219200

Refrigerators are sealed systems, most have no ports to recover refrigerant or perform service. The problem could be several things, the only really repairable problem could be the fan (if there is one) but most likely the problem is from either: the superheat metering device; the charge (amount of refrigerant present in the system) is low, indicating a leak; or the compressor is failing. It is probably more cost effective to replace the refrigerator rather than to repair it, especially if it is a standard residential type

unplug unit, remove back panel inside freezer and manually defrost with hair dryer, sounds like you have a defrost problem, check defrost thermostat, defrost heater or defrost timer, defrosting with hair dryer will fix until it freezes up again

Hi,

There is the drain in the freezer under the evaporator. You have to remove the rear panel in the freezer and the freezer floor to access it. Defrost it using a hair dryer and put hot water through the drain to make sure it's clean. Make sure the bottom end of the drain hose (behind the rear cover) is clean as well. Vacuum everything in the compressor compartment and keep it clean.

No your problem is the defrost solenoid it is not make it's function well

Take the back panel off inside your freezer compartment and check to see if the defrost coils are frozen over. If they are, you can use a hair dryer to defrost them or just let it sit for a day with a fan blowing on them.

drain hose is plugged... the freezer it need to drain water when if goes into defrost .the drain from the bottom freezer down to the bottom of the fridge... there is a pan under the fridge that holds the water until it evaporates
