Why is the food temperature too warm in my Kenmore Refrigerator?
- S
  Samantha OrozcoAug 14, 2025
  If the food temperature in your Kenmore Refrigerator seems too warm, several factors could be at play. First, ensure the door is closing correctly by leveling the refrigerator. Check the gaskets for a proper seal and clean them if needed. Make sure there are no internal obstructions preventing the door from closing, such as improperly closed drawers, ice buckets, or oversized food containers. Also, ensure that the rear air grilles under the crisper drawers are not blocked by food items. You might need to adjust the refrigerator controls. If the condenser coils are dirty, clean them. Reduce the time the door is open and allow time for newly added food to cool down.

Why is my Kenmore 596.73822200 running too frequently?

  Laurie ParkerAug 21, 2025
  If your Kenmore Refrigerator is running too frequently, try to reduce how often and how long you open the doors. Allow time for the interior to adjust after the door has been open. If the surrounding area is humid or hot, this is normal. Allow time for recently added food to cool. Also, consider if the refrigerator needs to be moved for better efficiency and clean the condenser coils.

Why does ice form in the inlet tube to the ice maker of my Kenmore Refrigerator?
- N
  Nicole PhelpsAug 26, 2025
  To resolve ice forming in the inlet tube to the ice maker of your Kenmore Refrigerator, ensure a proper water valve was installed. Self-piercing and 3/16” saddle valves can cause low water pressure and may clog the line over time. Also, verify that the water pressure is between 20 to 100 pounds per square inch.

  Robert RiosAug 29, 2025
  To address a slower than normal water flow in your Kenmore Refrigerator, adjust the controls, as the freezer temperature may be too high; it is recommended to be between 0 to 2°F (-18 to –17° C). Also, ensure the water pressure is between 20 to 100 pounds per square inch. Check that a proper water valve was installed.
