Called local repair guy, paid a $30 service call, said was out of freon. I ordered bullet piercing value and got can stop leak with freon. After hooking everything up, the gauge was reading it has freon. So paid service call for nothing lol.

Looking for advice on what to do next. No error codes, fan and compressor are running, just not cooling.

Model number is 795.74023.411

Thanks in advance, great site. Been reading a lot of articles on here.

I have a Kenmore Elite side-by-side refrigerator that is 3 years old. I noticed recently that freezer was no longer freezing food. The condenser coils were a little dirty so I unplugged the refrigerator and cleaned them. When I plugged it back in everything worked. The freezer began making ice and freezing food again. Three hours later I noticed the ice in the ice maker was melting. The evaporator fan in the freezer is running. The condenser fan is running. The compressor is humming and does not feel hot when touched. I have adjusted the freezer and refrigerator temperatures to -1 and 37. I removed the back panel on the freezer to check evaporator coils and there is no frost or ice present at all. Evaporator coils are wet. The evaporator fan blows cool air in the freezer when it is plugged in but not freezing cold. What could be the problem? The refrigerator model number is 795.5183.3410

When I plug in my kENMORE 25361662101 it turns on and appears to be working, but then after some while it trips the outlet and turns off. I tested the outlet and its good and only have this issue when the refrigerator is plugged not with any other appliance! I realized there is no sound coming out it when plugged or turned on, (like a fan or motor? the outlet trips and doesn't stay on long enough to freeze or keep items cold. appreciate any suggestions. thank you all.

It won't eject the cubes it makes, the control arm doesn't move (auto or manual), and manually initiated ejection [cycle] of ice stalls when ejectors hit the cubes, but they eject about an hour later. This likely means that the arm didn't move automatically earlier either (I can't sit and watch it all day). Then water refill not initiated every time.

I don't think anything is working automatically. Initial water fill was after manual turn of the dial to initiate first cycle. After 12 hours, no functions. I initiated manual cycle, ejectors got stuck on ice. An hour later the cubes finally ejected, but control arm didn't appear to move at any point. I cycled manually again, water finally refilled. Arm still apparently unmoving.

I have already replaced the Automatic Water Supply Valve (AWSV) that feeds the icemaker to solve a previous issue, and I tested with a known GOOD icemaker successfully. So I know the problems are within the existing icemaker.

I can make cubes _manually_ on the low freezer setting, but I can't get cubes to form on low, med, or high freezer settings IN the ice maker. The receptacles fill up, and it stays liquid. The maker starts dripping from the bottom and just fills up the catch box with icy slush water. 3-4 gallons a day it seems.

I can pop the cover and force it to cycle by winding the dial a bit, causing the motor to take over, eject, and refill with water. But still no freezing in the maker. I have tried with the "sensor arm" both up and down (up is "off").

Notes:

I can't tell if the motor is turning on it's own, or turning too often (I can't sit and watch for hours).

I found a guide here, but it seems to have issues:

http://www.ehow.com/how_12021705_trouble...

1. arm up is OFF, not on.

2. there is no "rubber pipe on top of the unit", as there is a plastic spot that seems to direct the water to each cube "spot".

help?

This thing is really quiet so it’s hard to tell if fan is going, but I’m pretty sure there is no significant fan working in the freezer.  My next step will be to take it apart when I get time and clean while it’s open, but my main question, maybe someone’s familiar….is there a central fan for the top and bottom?  Or any fail items on this model or similar LG that would cause these symptoms?

Used a temp gun to get current readings.

Freezer Setting:  0F

Reading:   24F

Fridge Setting: 33F

Reading: 53F

If someone is familiar with the unit, I’d really appreciate some help!
