Kenmore refrigerator not cooling is a known issue affecting Elite 795 series (LG). Our technicians specialize in Kenmore-specific diagnostics and repair.
Our Sub-Zero fridge stopped cooling right before a dinner party in our Noe Valley home. The technician arrived within two hours, diagnosed a faulty compressor relay, and had it running perfectly before guests arrived.

Kenmore refrigerator not cooling is typically caused by faulty compressor or dirty condenser coils. Kenmore-specific factor: rebranded lg linear compressor issues on elite 795 series — same failure pattern as lg originals. Repair costs $150-$400 with free diagnostic and 90-day warranty.

Defrost timer failure on older Whirlpool-made 106 series — mechanical timer contacts wear out
Condenser coil fouling accelerated by bottom-mount design on most models
Evaporator fan motor bearing failure from age — common on 10+ year units
Start relay failure on Frigidaire-made 253 series — compressor clicks but does not start

Seeing one of these codes? It likely indicates not cooling.
Kenmore is one of the most common refrigerator brands in Bay Area homes purchased before 2020 — years of Sears availability placed them in every neighborhood. The critical first step is identifying the manufacturer: model numbers starting with 795 are LG, 106 are Whirlpool, 253 are Frigidaire. Bay Area fog-belt humidity affects each platform differently, making manufacturer identification essential for correct diagnosis.
Identify manufacturer from model number prefix: 795/596 = LG, 106 = Whirlpool, 253 = Frigidaire, 362 = GE — determines all subsequent parts and procedures
For LG-made Elite: use Smart Diagnosis procedure (hold Smart Diagnosis button, call LG) — diagnostic tones decode the failure
For Whirlpool-made 106: check adaptive defrost board or mechanical defrost timer — advance timer manually with screwdriver to force defrost cycle
For all platforms: clean condenser coils first — remove lower grille, vacuum with brush attachment, check fan rotation
Kenmore repairs require identifying the OEM manufacturer before ordering any parts — the wrong part will not fit even if the symptom is identical. The technician checks the model number prefix and cross-references to the parent brand. LG-made units follow LG diagnostic and repair procedures. Whirlpool-made units follow Whirlpool procedures. Most Kenmore cooling repairs take 45-90 minutes depending on the underlying platform and specific failure.

“Sub-Zero 36-inch built-in with a noisy compressor. Compressor mounts were worn causing vibration. Mounts replaced and compressor serviced for $295. Fridge is quiet and cooling perfectly. Sub-Zero expertise is rare and valuable.”

“Our Samsung dishwasher was leaking from the bottom. The technician found a loose hose clamp on the circulation pump. It was a simple fix for $120 — I really appreciated the honesty since they could have sold me a new pump. The dishwasher has been leak-free since. Trustworthy company.”

“KitchenAid built-in refrigerator was forming puddles underneath. Clogged defrost drain was sending water out the bottom instead of into the drain pan. The tech cleared the drain, added a drain heater clip to prevent recurrence, and cleaned the drain pan. $175 for a fix that eliminated a really annoying problem.”

“Our LG French door refrigerator stopped cooling overnight. With a fridge full of food, we needed emergency service. The tech came same-day, diagnosed a failed compressor relay, and had it running in under an hour. He also told us about LG's compressor warranty which covered the part. Outstanding service.”

“Our 20-year-old Sub-Zero had a warm refrigerator section. The tech was clearly experienced with Sub-Zero — he diagnosed a failing evaporator fan and weak door gaskets. Replaced both, cleaned the condenser, and the unit is performing like new. $520 for a repair on a unit worth $15K+ to replace. No-brainer.”

“The technician arrived within 2 hours of my call and diagnosed the issue immediately — a faulty defrost timer causing ice buildup. He had the part on his truck and fixed it in under an hour. My fridge has been running perfectly for 3 months now. Very reasonable price at $275.”

“GE upright freezer was running but not getting below 25°F. The evaporator fan motor was failing. Tech replaced it and also checked the defrost system which was still working fine. $210 total and the freezer is back to 0°F. Saved about $800 in frozen food that would have spoiled. Worth every penny.”

“Our chest freezer stopped freezing and we had hundreds of dollars of meat inside. Called at 8am and the tech arrived by 10:30am. Faulty thermostat was the culprit — replaced in 30 minutes. Saved all our food! Cost was $175. Can't thank them enough for the fast response.”

“Finding someone experienced with Sub-Zero was tough until I found this company. Our 15-year-old Sub-Zero was running constantly and not cooling. The tech cleaned the condenser, replaced the fan motor, and it's been running like new. Worth every penny of the $450 repair — a new Sub-Zero is $12,000+.”

“The notorious Samsung ice maker problem struck our French door fridge. The tech was very familiar with this specific issue, performed the recommended fix including defrosting the evaporator and installing a new ice maker kit. It's been 6 weeks and still working great. $350 well spent.”
