Kenmore 51173 Elite Stainless Steel 29.8 Cu Ft Refrigerator Side-by-Side Freezer, Energy Star - Answered Questions & Fixed issues
I can't get my ice maker water filter to turn and lock in place
Put some Vaseline on the O-Ring to help it slide into place. Make sure it is properly inserted at the beginning.
If the filter is located inside the refrigerator:
- Turn off the ice maker.
- Push the eject button.
- Pull the filter out of the housing.
- Push the new filter into the housing until it clicks.
- Turn on the ice maker.
- Run 2 gallons of water through the water dispenser to purge air and residue.

My Kenmore Trio refrigerator (#596.76502500)
The fan that blows cold air from the freezer to cool the refrigerator is not working. If your a little handy with tools its an easy fix. Its located in the freezer. Open your freezer door take off the steel panel at the back of the inside of the freezer. After you remove the panel you will see the fan the blows the cold air up to the Frig. A quick trip to a local appliance store for a new fan with do the trick. Put in the new fan 100% fixed even better than new because the orginal part is defective Kenmore should have recalled them. I have the same frig and its been perfect since I repaced my failed fan.

Kenmore Elite won't cool.
How to trouble shoot
Kenmore Elite is a who range of appliance, but as you are in Kenmore Refrigerators category, let's assume it's that. All questions need full 'make model (what it is)' first 3 words please.
The only easy thing to do would be to make sure the condenser fins are clear of fluff, the compressor is running, the compressor fan is running and the internal circulation fan is running. If it is a fridge with freezer above, a blockage at the back of the freezer due to a failed defrost heater can cause an issue where no cold air drops into the fridge.
The other possibility is low refrigerant gas, but that is not something you can rectify yourself.
Check the condenser coils to determine if they are dirty-if the condenser coils are dirty, clean them. Verify the freezer temperature is set between 0 and 5 degrees Fahrenheit (-18 to -15 Celsius). Verify the refrigerator temperature is set between 34 and 40 degrees Fahrenheit (1 to 5 Celsius).
