Kenmore refrigerator with top freezer purchased about 8 years ago. The freezer isn't freezing food thoroughly and now the refridgerator is not keeping the food cold enough. What could be the problem? The bottom filter is clean and no wires are being pinched in the back.

Take out the back panel inside your freezer and locate the drip line in there, it should be some where under the coils, check if its blocked up with ice, if it is you need to unclog it. there should also be a wire that runs into that drip line (it helps defrost that line) you might need to replace that wire.

I have a Kenmore model 253 freezer/refridgerator upright model. I am getting cold spots in the refridgeration in and near the vegetable drawers on the bottom of the refridgerator. The icemaker works but the water dispensor has stopped working too.

Refridgerator problem

Not sure about your model, but most of these style side by side refridgerators use the cold air from the freezer to cool the refridgerator. Sounds like your "flapper" valve is broken. At the top left in the refridgerator there should be plastic shroud. Remove it and your flapper valve should be under it. You will most likely find the flap broken off of it. You may have success using epoxy to glue it or you may have to replace the valve assembly.
Good luck.

Foul odor coming from freezer. Kenmore model w/ freezer on top.

Clean the refrigerator thoroughly fresh food and freezer under all drawers. Then place charcoal briquettes in each 8 or 10 total. 4 or 5 in the bottom of the fresh food section. leave the for several days. If that doesnt take away the smell consider if a mouse may have gotten into a fan blade and well that can create a really bad smell.
