My kenore elite fridge stooped cooling but the bottom drawer freezer still works. i am in Arkansas and the closest repair man is 2 hours away. Any suggestions? No I have no manual. My fault
First check that you can hear a fan in the freezer..if the fan is running you have a defrost problem or a plugged drain... to get it to work temporary defrost
the freezer. Unplug the refrigerator, open the door and get a blow
dryer and warm up the freezer. wait until the water stop dripping out
or about 12 to 24 hours and then you can plug it back in . it will work
for 2 to 3 weeks.
To unplug the drain.defrost the freezer .remove the back cover. Use a pipe cleaner to clear the drain. pour a few cups of hot water down the drain.
The defrost systems is:
HEATER-DEFROST
THERMOSTAT-DEFROST
TIMER-DEFROST
Start with the timer. It is just under the front kick plate. there
is a knob you can turn it slowly.until it clicks off the compressor.
then open the freezer and listen . You should hear the heater come
on .. it will sizzle when it comes on ...
You will have to remove the back panel of the freezer to check the
heater for and thermostat for continuity. Heater are the lease likely
part to go bad... I always change thermostat and timers together.
let me know if this helps or we can chat if you need more help.
