      If your Kenmore Refrigerator is not operating, start by checking these potential causes: * Ensure the power supply cord is firmly plugged into a live outlet with the correct voltage. * Check for a blown household fuse or a tripped circuit breaker, and replace or reset as necessary. Also, ensure the house circuit isn't overloaded. * If the refrigerator is in the defrost cycle, wait about 30 minutes for it to end. * Check if the refrigerator is in Store sales floor Demonstration Mode.

    Why are the lights not working in my Kenmore 795.7160?

      If your Kenmore Refrigerator's lights are not working, ensure the power cord is firmly plugged into a live outlet. If that's not the issue, check if the light bulb is loose in the socket; unplug the refrigerator, gently remove and reinsert the bulb, then plug it back in and reset the refrigerator control. Also, the light bulb may have burned out and need replacement with an appliance bulb of the same wattage, size and shape. If a door has been open for seven minutes, shutting it for one second will allow the light bulbs to come back on.

    Why is there frost on frozen food in my Kenmore 795.7160 Refrigerator?
    • T
      tjacksonAug 26, 2025
      If you notice frost or ice crystals on frozen food in your Kenmore Refrigerator, it may be because the door is not closing properly. Additionally, opening the door frequently allows warm, humid air into the freezer, which can result in frost formation.

    Why is food freezing in my Kenmore 795.7160 Refrigerator compartment?
    • S
      Shannon ThompsonAug 28, 2025
      If you find frozen food in the refrigerator compartment of your Kenmore Refrigerator, it could be that the temperature control in the refrigerator compartment is set too cold. Press the Refrigerator Temp button to set the refrigerator compartment to a warmer temperature. The refrigerator may be installed in a cold location. Also, food with a high water content may have been placed too close to the cold air discharge; place it toward the front of the refrigerator.

    Why is my Kenmore 795.7160 Refrigerator temperature too warm?
    • R
      Rachel WallerAug 30, 2025
      If your Kenmore Refrigerator has a temperature that is too warm, or if there is interior moisture buildup, start by checking if the air vents are blocked and move any packages that are obstructing them. Also, consider that the doors may be opened often, the control may not be set correctly, a large amount of food may have just been added, or the food may not be packaged correctly. Ensure the doors are closing completely. It is normal for droplets to form on the back wall after the refrigerator self-defrosts. Remember that in humid weather, air carries moisture into the refrigerator when the doors are opened.

    Why is my Kenmore 795.7160 making a rattling noise?
    • D
      Danny SnyderSep 1, 2025
      If your Kenmore Refrigerator is vibrating or making a rattling noise, it might not be resting solidly on the floor. The floor could be weak or uneven, or the leveling legs may need adjustment.

    Why is there water in the defrost drain pan of my Kenmore 795.7160 Refrigerator?
    • D
      Donald JohnsonSep 4, 2025
      It is normal for water to drip into the defrost pan of your Kenmore Refrigerator, and the water will evaporate. If it's more humid than normal, expect that the water in the defrost pan will take longer to evaporate.

    Why are the doors on my Kenmore 795.7160 Refrigerator hard to open?
    • W
      weaverjessicaSep 7, 2025
      If the doors of your Kenmore Refrigerator are hard to open, it could be due to dirty or sticky gaskets. Clean the gaskets and the surfaces they touch, and then apply a thin coat of appliance polish or kitchen wax. Also, when you open the door, warmer air enters the refrigerator. As the warm air cools, it can create a vacuum. If the door is hard to open, wait 5 minutes to allow the air pressure to equalize, then see if it opens more easily.

    Why does the compressor motor on my Kenmore 795.7160 run so much?
    • C
      Cameron LeeSep 9, 2025
      If your Kenmore Refrigerator's compressor motor seems to run too much, it may be normal. Modern refrigerators with more storage space require more operating time, and the motor will run longer under warm conditions. If the refrigerator was recently plugged in, it can take up to 24 hours to cool completely. Ensure the refrigerator control is correctly set for the surrounding conditions. The doors may be opened often or a large amount of food has just been added. Also, a dirty back cover prevents air transfer and makes the motor work harder, so clean the back cover.

    What to do if Kenmore 795.7160 Refrigerator doors won't close?
    • E
      Elizabeth WintersSep 12, 2025
      If the doors of your Kenmore Refrigerator won't close completely, ensure the refrigerator is level. Food packages might be blocking the door open, so rearrange containers to clear the door and shelves. Check that the ice bin, crisper cover, pans, shelves, door bins, or baskets are correctly positioned. Clean the gaskets and the surfaces they touch, and consider applying a thin coat of appliance polish or kitchen wax after cleaning. If the refrigerator wobbles or seems unstable, level it. If the doors were removed during installation, refer to the REFRIGERATOR INSTALLATION section (pages 13-17) to ensure they are correctly replaced.
