Question about Kenmore 72912 / 72914 / 72919 Bottom Freezer Refrigerator
Hi, i have a bottom mount kenmore 72912. the back of the freezer wall is icing over and when this happens, my refrigerator gets warm. I have used a blow dryer to get rid of some of the ice, it seems to help for a while, then the ice comes right back. I just unplugged it for 2 days and don't know where to go from here. all the fans seem to be working properly...help!
Is it ice in the freezer or frost? snow like.. big difference in problems

IF back wall of freezer is frosted.. that indicates a defrost problem... defrost heater bad, or defrost themostate is most common proplems... u would need a ohm meter to ohm out those parts.. temp. fix would be take of back panel and defrost with blow dryer.. would give u 3 or 4 days of trouble free cooling.. then would frost back up and tell fixed.

It's both...snow on the back wall, ice at the bottom by the "vents". Sorry I don't know the correct term. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated. Also, I did plug the unit back in this morning (9 months pregnant and ready to shoot someone everytime they need something from fridge downstairs!) I turned the freezer way down to 2 and the problem is not obvious at this point.
bottom freezer ices up, thus causing temperature to become too warm. Cleaned thoroughly and it was o.k. for a couple of weeks, then the same problem reoccurred.
My freezer is freezing up too much while the fridge wont stay cool.
I have the freezer temp control all the way down and the fridge all the way up. Still no satisfaction.
