Why is my Kenmore Refrigerator not cooling?
- M
  Matthew Tran Jr.Aug 19, 2025
  Several factors can cause a Kenmore refrigerator to not cool properly. It could be that the refrigerator control is set to OFF; if so, turn it ON. The unit might be in Demo Mode, which disables cooling, so disable Demo Mode. The refrigerator may be in the defrost cycle, during which the temperature rises slightly; wait 30 minutes after the cycle. If the refrigerator was recently installed, allow up to 24 hours to reach the desired temperature. Finally, if the refrigerator was recently relocated, ensure it stood upright for 24 hours before connecting it to power.

What to do if my Kenmore Refrigerator is not dispensing water?

  If your Kenmore refrigerator isn't dispensing water, several issues could be the cause. If it's a new installation or the water line was recently connected, dispense 2.5 gallons of water to remove trapped air. Check if the dispenser panel is locked and unlock it by pressing and holding the Lock button for three seconds. Ensure the dispenser is set for water dispensing. Make sure that all refrigerator doors are completely closed. If the water filter was recently replaced, dispense 2.5 gallons of water. Check for any kinks in the tubing connecting the refrigerator to the water supply. Finally, ensure the house water supply is connected, the valve is fully open, and the valve isn't clogged.

Why is my Kenmore Icemaker not making ice?

  Charles KingAug 25, 2025
  If your Kenmore icemaker isn't producing ice, several factors could be responsible. If the refrigerator was recently installed or the icemaker recently connected, allow up to 24 hours for it to begin making ice. Ensure the icemaker is turned on by locating the ON/OFF switch and confirming it's in the ON position. Check that the ice detecting sensor isn't obstructed. Verify that the refrigerator is connected to a water supply and the shutoff valve is open. If your icemaker has a shutoff arm, ensure it moves freely.

Why is my Kenmore Refrigerator or Freezer section too warm?

  ggarzaAug 27, 2025
  Several factors can cause your Kenmore refrigerator or freezer to be too warm. If recently installed, allow up to 24 hours to reach the desired temperature. Blocked air vents can restrict airflow, so rearrange items. Frequent or prolonged door openings let warm air in, so reduce these. Ensure the unit isn't in a hot location, avoiding temperatures above 110F. Allow hot food to cool before refrigerating. Make sure the doors are closing correctly. Check and adjust the temperature control, allowing time to stabilize. If the defrost cycle just completed, wait 30 minutes for the temperature to restore.

What to do if food is freezing in my Kenmore 795.7248 compartment?

  If food is freezing in the refrigerator compartment of your Kenmore refrigerator, it may be due to food with high water content being placed near an air vent; rearrange these items. The refrigerator temperature control might be set too cold, so adjust it one increment at a time. Also, the refrigerator should not be operated in temperatures below 55°F (13°C).

Why is my Kenmore Icemaker not making enough ice?
- B
  Brian ReeseSep 2, 2025
  If your Kenmore icemaker isn't making enough ice, it could be that the demand exceeds the ice storage capacity, noting that the icemaker produces approximately 70-210 cubes in 24 hours. Ensure the house water supply is connected with adequate pressure and the valve is fully open. The water filter may be exhausted and need replacement approximately every six months, when the indicator turns on, when the water dispenser output decreases, or when the ice cubes are smaller than normal. Low house water supply pressure can also be a factor; it must be between 20 and 120 psi without a water filter, or 40 and 120 psi with a filter. Check for kinks in the tubing connecting the refrigerator to the house supply valve and straighten or repair as needed.

Why is my Kenmore 795.7248 Refrigerator dispensing warm water?
- E
  Erica BrightSep 3, 2025
  If your Kenmore refrigerator is dispensing warm water, it could be because the refrigerator was recently installed; allow 24 hours for the water storage tank to cool. The water dispenser may have been used recently, exhausting the storage tank, which holds approximately 20 to 30 oz. If the dispenser hasn't been used for several hours, discard the first 10 oz. Finally, ensure the refrigerator is connected to a cold water pipe, not a hot one.

Why does my Kenmore 795.7248 Refrigerator cooling system run too much?
- J
  john83Sep 6, 2025
  Several reasons may cause your Kenmore refrigerator's cooling system to run excessively. Modern refrigerators are more efficient but require more operating time. If the refrigerator was recently plugged in, it can take up to 24 hours to cool completely. Frequent door openings or adding large amounts of food can warm the refrigerator, causing the compressor to run longer. Ensure doors are closed completely. A hot installation location will cause the compressor to run longer; avoid operating above 110°F. Also, a clogged condenser cover can cause this issue; clean it with a vacuum cleaner attachment.

Why does my Kenmore Icemaker make ice with bad taste or odor?
- T
  Tammy HarveySep 8, 2025
  If the ice from your Kenmore icemaker has a bad taste or odor, the water supply might contain minerals like sulfur, which may require a water filter. If the icemaker was recently installed, discard the first few batches of ice. Ice stored for too long can also develop a bad taste, so throw it away and make a new supply. Improperly stored food can cause odors to migrate to the ice, so rewrap the food. The refrigerator or ice storage bin might need cleaning.
