Have a 28 year old Kenmore refrigerator, model 8604481. Made in 1988. I'm getting frost over the lower vents in the freezer. The coils and all look fine after taking off the back.

Hello Mr. Groeger,

I was not able to match the model number for your refrigerator, but given the age of the unit, the number may have been discontinued or changed. I am going to assume that the unit has a defrosting system.

If you have it, refer to your owner's manual. There should also be a schematic of the unit attached on the back or near the bottom.

At 28 years old, there could be multiple issues, but if you are handy and familiar with a volt-ohm-meter, you can check some items yourself.

1. Make sure the compressor is indeed running. Before you unplug the unit, check the evaporator fan inside the freezer compartment to be sure it runs. If the compressor or fan isn't running, it's possible that a component in the defrost system is preventing the compressor from running.

-----Turn off the power and unplug the unit to check these items-----------

2. Check the defrost thermostat - it is located in the freezer compartment but will require that remove the back or side panel in the freezer to expose the evaporator coil.

3. Check the defrost timer - they are usually located near the compressor but you may have to hunt a little

4. Check the defrost heating element - it is also located in the freezer compartment and requires that the panel covering the evaporator (coil) be removed. Once you expose the evaporator, it's possible that the coil will be completely iced up which is a symptom of a defrost system problem.

5. Look for any burnt wiring in the freezer compartment. When a defrost thermostat fails they will sometimes burn out.

6. If all these items are ok, you may have to check the compressor circuit or look for a refrigerant leak (if the compressor won't run).

Here is a link to some standard parts for a typical refrigerator. If you find a bad part, you could contact this company or any other you wish. I do not work for this company.

Freezer gets fool of frost on walls of freezer only

How to remove packaging

Based on personal experience, I can say that you need to remove all the cardboard and plastic wrap covering the front, back and various parts inside the refrigerator. Care must be taken to ensure that insulation, which helps the operation of the unit, intended to be part of the design is not removed. If you have a question about some specific insulation (generally styrofoam) then it might be best to call the help line for the manufacturer - they can check with technical experts on that model to determine whether it is needed or not. The primary reason for removing cardboard and wrap is to be sure that all of the necessary ventilation for the unit to operate without overheating is clear.

I want to know how many kWh per year my year 2000 model 25369832991 top freezer refrigerator uses

You would need to look on the label inside the refrigerator door that indicates the power consumption for your model. You would then need to compare this with the new model to determine the potential savings in kWh/year. Once you know the potential yearly savings, you would need to multiply this number by your electricity cost (it should be available from your monthly bill, or you can call the utility). Then you can determine how long it will take to recover the expense of purchasing the new refrigerator (minus the rebate).

My BEKO AB910 is freezing the food in the bottom

My fridge did the same. What I tried, first check the airflow vents to see nothing blocking them. Then I put in a thermometer, as I had increased the temperature dial a month previous. Cold air drops, so the temp was 36-38 F as checked in the morning. I turned down the freezer a tiny bit and upped the refrigerator dial a tiny bit. This corrected the problem for me.

Water keeps drain into the refridgerator but it still freezes and still keeps food cold in the ice box I just replaced the filter about a month ago.I also have been keeping a towel in there to soak up

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.

Kenmore refrigerator model 363-58572892 side

Hello,

The water is from the melted frost of the defrost cycle. The drain at the bottom of the back wall of the freezer is blocked so instead of the water draining into the pan where it will evaperate,it's pooling on the freezer floor and freezing, in many case when the floor indent is full the water will leak onto the floor.By pulling the refrigerator out from the wall,there will be a tube behind the service panel on the right side when looking at it from the rear,that tube can be removed and cleared,then clear the nozzle it connects to inside the freezer.

I hope this helps you to stop the leak,
Gene
