  John WilliamsAug 3, 2025
  To address a Kenmore Refrigerator with food that's too warm, start by ensuring the door is closing correctly. Level the refrigerator as described in the manual section 'Installing Your Refrigerator–How to Level Your Refrigerator'. Also, inspect the door gaskets for a proper seal and clean them if needed. Clear any obstructions inside that might prevent the door from closing fully, such as drawers, ice buckets, or large food containers. Check the positioning of food items in refrigerator to ensure the rear air grille is not blocked. Reduce the amount of time the door is opened and organize food efficiently. If you've recently added food, allow time for it to cool down. If these steps don't resolve the issue, the controls may need adjustment.

  If ice is forming in the inlet tube to the ice maker of your Kenmore Refrigerator, it could be due to an improper water valve. Also, low water pressure can cause ice formation. Water pressure must be between 20 to 100 pounds per square inch to function properly. A minimum pressure of 35 pounds per square inch is recommended for refrigerators with water filters.

Why does my Kenmore 596 . 67942600 Refrigerator run too frequently?

  If your Kenmore Refrigerator runs too frequently, there are several potential causes. First, reduce how often and how long the doors are opened, organizing food for quick access. Allow the interior to adjust if the door has been open for an extended period. High humidity or heat in the area can also cause this, which is considered normal operation. Allow time for recently-added food to reach refrigerator or freezer temperature. Ensure the refrigerator isn't near heat sources and consider moving it. Dirty condenser coils can also cause this issue.
