20 Most Recent Kenmore 63822 / 63824 Bottom Freezer Refrigerator Questions & Answers

The number you listed is an item number used by the store and is not a model#.. The model sticker is usually located on the right wall inside the fridge and can sometimes be on the ceiling as well as under a drawer if it is a built in. They look like this and I would need the complete number to look at what you have. I can say that if it is loud and you do not see anything around the fan blades.. You unplug it then plug back in, watch the fans start and a minute later is when it gets loud then that is the compressor. It is a very expensive fix and is rarely worth it.

Freeze fan

For the Kenmore, keep pushing the button and it should cycle back to the top of the temperature range.

There are many people that have this problem and are searching for answers as to what to do and what could be causing this problem. It seems to be weird that the freezer is working fine and the fridge side is not. Why would the coldest side be good and the warmer side not?

The answer to these questions lies in the way the freezer/fridge combo works. The freezer is where the cooling coils are located. Then air is moved over the coils and circulated through the fridge side by a small blower or fan. The problem arises when the air is not circulated for some reason.

The reasons the air is not moving is usually two reasons

1. The fan or blower has failed.
2. The coil is covered over with ice and blocks the air flow.

The first reason is pretty simple to fix, you simply replace the air circulator and things are good again.
The second reason can be more difficult.
1. The timing device that runs the defrost cycle of the refrigerator is defective.
2. The heater coil that melts the water is shorted or not working

Usually the first thing to check is the heater coil. If there is resistance through the coil then most likely it is still good.
The timing device can be an advanced defrost control board or a mechanical timing device.
If the heater coil checks out to be good then the problem should be the timer.

For most situations, unplugging the refrigerator and allowing it to defrost on it’s own will get you going temporarily, till parts can be shipped to you. That will melt the ice and give you a few days or a couple of weeks till it ices up to the point where it will not work again.

So you can see here, the problem can usually be traced to one of three things.

1. The fan or blower
2. The timer device
3. The electric heater coil

By methodically checking these parts you can isolate your problem and fix it.

Take care.

uve probably got a freon leak check to see if compressor is running and fans inside are blowing if so then u probably have a freon leak

Every 8 to 10 hours for around 20 minutes the defrost timer (or in most newer models the electronic adaptive defrost control) will turn the defrost heater on to melt the built up ice. There is a defrost thermostat which prevents the heater from overheating the freezer by breaking the heater circuit when the temp reaches close to 32 degrees F. The entire cooling system shuts off during the defrost cycle and starts back when the timer advances through the cycle.

If this ice is not melted it will continue to build up until the air can’t flow over the coil to circulate the cold air through the freezer and into the fridge. The temperature change in the fridge is usually noticed first followed by the freezer.

If the defrost thermostat is bad it can prevent the heater from coming on OR it won’t turn the heater off when it gets too warm. It is clamped to the evaporator coil at the top to sense the temp. If it appears to be misshapen it is bad.
With an ohm meter it should show continuity when cold and none when warm.
You can also bypass the thermostat to see if the heater comes on then. If it does then you know the thermostat is bad and needs replaced.

The defrost heater is located on the evaporator. It is in a tube which is at the bottom and can also go up the sides of the evaporator. On some types you can see a burnt spot if it’s bad. With an ohm meter it should show continuity from end to end when disconnected from the wiring in the freezer. You can also test the wiring for voltage when it’s in the defrost mode.

If you have a defrost timer you can test it. It can be located under the fridge behind the kick panel on the front. Some are in the fridge with the controls at the top. You can turn the defrost timer till it clicks and everything shuts down. The heater should now come on. If it does, replace the timer because that means the timer is not running. If it doesn't, check the heater and defrost thermostat. Turn the timer again till everything starts back up to end the defrost cycle.

If you have an adaptive defrost control instead of a timer, replace it if the heater and thermostat test good. It is located in the fridge with the controls in some models and on the back in others.

the garage kit, if even available for your unit, works pretty well, but your right in extreme colds your outta luck, other then buying a refrig designed to work in garage, yoll need to either insualte and heat garage, or wait till spring sorry.

Coldspot 106. Model This model refrigerator is a relatively small refrigerator. It is a Freezer on top model, and Sears documents lists this unit at 18.1 cu ft. I hope that answers your question about capacity. I'm glad I could help. If you need anything else, just let me know. In reality, when you buy a replacement, you buy by dimensions to fit the space not cubic feet of the old one. Go to Home Depot armed with a tape measure. ..

air damper motor control has failed , call a local repair service

The Kenmore Coldspot 106 is a 20.7-cubic foot side-by-side refrigerator with a reverse osmosis Pure water filter, ice maker and digital controls. ..

Turn it off by removing the wall plug for 10 minutes. This will do a power rest to the control electronics. This is a bottom mounted freezer, so cold air for the fridge is vented upwards by a fan. Make sure it is running and there are no ice blockages. Strangely they call the fan in the fridge an Refrigerator Evaporator Fan Motor. The part is obsolete anyway. If it normally says 4 for the fridge, that would be 4 degrees Centigrade, which means the freezer should show minus 18'C. Or 36'F Fridge / 0' F Freezer/ This shows all the parts. https://www.searspartsdirect.com/model/3tradtge4f-000582/kenmore-79575004401-bottom-mount-refrigerator-parts ..
