Fridge freezer only works when door open.or if remove bulb on fridge side it works ok,

  • Anonymous May 11, 2010

    If the light stays on , when door is closed , this will warm up the inside . Have you checked the door adjustment , to make sure switch activation occurs ? Have you checked the door switch itself , ( by pressing in ) to make sure the light goes off ?

Fridge light bulb

Not sure how the light socket only has 6V supply? The bulb for this fridge is a pretty standard 15 Watt/230V SES lamp. If you are sure the current lamp is OK I would suggest the door lamp switch has issues. Try pressing and releasing the door switch manually and check that it functions ok without getting stuck or any sluggish movement. This action in itself may fix the problem.

Some appliances have electrical schematics on the back of the fridge, some are hidden behind rear cover. Wire,Switch or fuse..not much else it could be.

Fridge is out of gas in fridge compartment. Freezer compartment is in order

if the freezer is operating ok,then the refrige side isnt out of gas,its the damper vent door between the freezer and refrige thats not opening to let cold air into fridge from freezer,sometimes they stick shut due to ice from condensation on this door,remove grille cover on damper door and check this,if iced up defrost it with a hair dryer,then change temp selector and make sure door then moves with temp change

Kenmore Elite side-by-side Fridge side is not cooling. (Freezer is working ok) Part on top left of fridge that has vent holes that usually blow out cooled air does not seem to be working. Could the fact...

Either your door was left open or your have a defrost problem.
Unplug the refrigerator and let it sit overnight (with the doors open). Start it back up (give it at least twelve hours) the next day and see if it works. If it does, see how long it stays working for you. If it quites again, contact a service agent and have him repair your self defrosting problem.

Kenmore 5355

There is a fan inside the freezer which circulates cold air through the air diffuser and then through the return duct at the bottom of the fridge. This fan may not be working. You should be able to hear it when you open the freezer door. If you cannot hear the fan going with the door open, keep the door open and press the button that switches the internal light off. The fan should run. If no fan running in freezer test for supply to fan. The fan may be faulty or the thermostat which is in line with the fan could be faulty.
