My Kenmore Coldspot Model 106.59592990 side by side refridgerator mfg in 11/1999 is extremely hot to the touch on the face of the center column where the 2 doors meet when closed. The rubber seal that contacts the center column when the doors are closed has even given off a slight burning rubber smell, that's how hot it is getting. Last night, I noticed the melted food on the freezer side, so I increased the setting on the freezer from 4 to 7. This morning, the column feels much cooler. Sounds like possibly a condenser issue, fan issue, coil issue. I've recently cleaned the coils with a vacuum from the front, with no improvement. What next?

Are you installing a ice maker kit? If the ice maker is already installed all you have to do is connect it to the potable water supply in the back of the refrigerator and lower the bail arm to put it into operation.

I have a Kenmore Coldspot Model #69207990 and have the same problem. Water from the freezer drains into the refridgerator onto the shelves and sheets of ice form. A repairman pointed out that the tube leading down from the freezer onto the drain pan was frozen. By pouring hot water down the tube, he reopened this drain line. Problem solved for six months and the drain line froze again. My question is how to stop this drain line from freezing up again.

My frig is extremely hot to the touch on the metal face that separates the freezer and frig. Any thoughts on what might be causing this problem. If it helps, we just moved the frig from another home. ...

Likely the cooling fan has died. This happened on my unit. The fan is visible from underneath on the rear left side. Use a flashlight to see if it is spinning. I used a broom handle to tap it and it started to run, which cooled the metal you found hot. I ordered the part on line and replaced it. Heating problem went away.

Kenmore side by side model 106.55512400 inside frame hot to touch

There is an electric heater in the center which is called a mullion heater. If you have an energy saver switch on your model turn it to the saving position.
