Kenmore Refrigerator Model Guides — Complete Models Guide

Five Kenmore refrigerator guides sorted by who built them: the 106 is Whirlpool-made, the 363 is Frigidaire-made, and the 795 and Elite 795 and 796 machines are LG-made. Those three-digit prefixes are the entire key to servicing a Kenmore, because the compressor, the control board and the defrost hardware all come from the manufacturer behind the number rather than from Kenmore itself.

Each page identifies the platform first and only then works the symptom: a warm fresh-food compartment with the fan running, frost on the rear panel, a dispenser gone quiet, an ice maker filling without harvesting. Defrost and airflow checks precede anything sealed, and the page names which manufacturer's parts and diagnostics apply — LG codes on the 795 machines, Whirlpool components on the 106, Frigidaire on the 363.

Fans, heaters, dampers, gaskets and boards are ordinary component work with the unit unplugged, while the refrigerant circuit is restricted work regardless of skill. The practical Kenmore trap is ordering rather than diagnosis: search by the full model number including its prefix, because a part that fits a Kenmore-badged LG will not fit a Kenmore-badged Whirlpool.
