SOURCE: Kenmore bottom freezer 795.75092402 freezer doesn't open

After several hours working and moving the door, I was able to slide open the door. Found out that the ice maker was leaking and the water was in the bottom an it frozen and that was stopping the door to open.

While the freezer is cold, cut out defrost thermostat and measure resistance, if open, replace, if it's ok check defrost heater.
Temporarily short the wires that went to the defrost thermostat and now force defrost.
If no defrost, you have a bad adaptive defrost board.

The unit was built bt LG. It is a computer controled unit and the timer is built into the main control board on back of the unit. However, the most likely cause of the broblem is the defrost terminator located on the evap on the upper right hand corner. Also, try unpugging the unit it will reset the computer board. You will also have to defrost the unit.

SOURCE: fan runs constantly, freezer ice melting, bottom drawer in refrig

  • If your refrigerator temperature is closer to 35 degrees, try turning the temperature up slightly.


  • If you find that the temperature varies a lot from the top shelf to the bottom (where it is coldest), try putting produce and other sensitive products on a higher shelf.


  • If the temperature is too low and you can't make it warmer by adjusting the thermostat, you probably have a defective thermostat. If so, you need to replace it, because they cannot be repaired. Other possible problems are a leak in the sealed (refrigerant) system, cold air migration (in side-by-side models) or a defective air damper. These problems can be quite difficult to locate and correct, we recommend you contact a qualified appliance repair technician.

    SOURCE: bosch fridge freezer - ice build up and water leak from freezer

    Hi,
    This is most likely a blocked drain pipe - blocked with ice that is.

    Remove all the drawers in the freezer - and stack them up.
    With the unit switched off and unplugged, undo the fixings on the rear pannel in the freezer (behind the drawers)
    Remove it to see the evaporator coils etc.
    At the base there should be a channel - and a hole leading to the drain pipe. This needs unblocking wih a thin flexible cable. -net curtain support wire is ideal, and cheap. or use a short length of insulated cable.
    Check it comes out at the rear of the unit onto the evaporator container - situated on top ofthe compressor.
    Replace everything and switch on.

    My Hotpoint Quadrio bottom freezer drawer will not open. It's like there is a child lock on it somewhere. Can anyone help? I have had it switched off for 3 days now and still cannot open it!

    Question edited for clarity,

    This is always due to ice build up. It can take up to a week to defrost with drawers closed. You have to remove the top drawer to defrost the bottom drawer if you want to do it faster. It is a known issue on the Quadrio and is mentioned in two of the articles, Mumsnet and Just Answer. Great looking appliance, but bad design.

    Top drawer of freezer seems to work but large bottom drawer not freezing even at -5degrees. Can this be fixed?

    This problem seems to be two sided. A refrigerator defrost it is supposed to take the water from defrost down a pipe located behind the freezer rear wall to a pan below the refrigerator where there is a fan blowing warm air over the water to evaporate back into your home or business. If that drain is blocked your refrigerator will accumulate a large block of ice and frost behind the rear panel of freezer and temperatures will warm considerably in fresh food compartment and freezer. Here is one site I want you to read over=> Leaking Refrigerators Just What may Be Happening and here=> Leaking Refrigerators here is a link to a service manual=> LFX25960xx Service Manual Let me know if this service manual is close enough to your model number. At this point I am looking for air blockage behind the rear panel of freezer. If air is being blocked by ice and frost you can use a hair drier to help speed you up while melting ice. If drain is blocked use whatever you can to open the drain line mentions on the links I sent you to and let me know what is found, Thanks Sea Breeze

    GDS20SBSBSS FREEZER DRAWER WON'T OPEN

    ice will most likely form again.you have a defrost problem.most likely it is your defrost heater.their are a few things that control your defrost cycle.defrost timer,thermostat and defrost heater.most of your newer ref. will also have a control board on the back of ref. or under ref in a usually grey box.but check your heaters first.you will need to take the back panel off in freezer.you will see heater at the bottom of coils.if you have a set of meters you can check for continuity to heater.also your drain below heater sounds clogged.i usually steam out drain but you can use hot water.water should go down drainwhen unclogged.that will prevent the drawer from sticking.

    Freezer Drawer won't open on Kenmore 22" Bottom Freezer Refrigerator

    Try raising the door. It may be off the roller tracks inside. If you get it to open you'll find the problem. These tracks are like kitchen drawer tracks.
