Compressor runs continuously. refrigerator compartment is cold, but freezer is barely freezing. evaporator fan is running. minimal frost on evaporator coils. condensor coils on back are clean.
SOURCE: Kenmore Refrgierator is not cooling enough
Is the frost on the entire surface of the evaporator or just a portion. If it is only frosting on a portion there is a possibility your system has developed a leak and has lost some of the charge. Or your compressor has lost its ability to pump the gas. A bad condenser fan motor overtaxes the compressor and can cause premature failure. If it is a bad compressor it may be time to replace the refrigerator. Replacing the compressor is an expensive job and the warranty is only one year on a replaced compressor.
SOURCE: refrigerator evaporator fan won't run but compressor working
is the evaporator coil frozzen you may have a defrost problem
Hi: I've dealt with Kenmore for 30 years. Unfortunately the new model numbers don't reveal the age. I must assume it's a newer model. I'm not disputing what you said about it running all the time, but please read on. Oddly enough the new energy efficient referigators run 70 to 80% of the time. They use a smaller compressor without the big amperage start-up. The best I can describe them is that they freewheel alot. The 106......of your model number means it was built by Whirlpool. A very quite and energy efficent refrigerator. If your power bill is high get a meter from your power company, most have them. Just to double check the power consumption. Good luck Jeff

condenser coils are not under the fridge, they are behind it, and they are clean...
