Common problems
Sound familiar?
These are the refrigerator problems David sees most often in Broward County, and what usually causes them.
Fridge warm, freezer cold
On Whirlpool-built 106 Kenmores, it's a classic defrost failure caused by a bad defrost heater, thermostat, or bimetal; David replaces the failed part.
Ice maker stopped making ice
On LG-built 795 Kenmores, it's usually the ice maker assembly, the water inlet valve, or a frozen fill tube.
Running loud, then not cold
The evaporator fan motor has seized behind the freezer wall, so cold air never reaches the fridge; David replaces the fan.
Compressor clicks, won't start
A failed compressor start relay or capacitor makes the compressor click every few minutes; David tests both and replaces the one that failed.
Control board dead or erratic
The main control board fails after Florida power surges, killing the cooling and the display; David sources the correct board.
Sheet of frost on the back panel
Ice buildup on the evaporator coil means the defrost cycle stopped; David replaces the failed defrost part.
Temperature drifts warm
A faulty thermistor feeds the board wrong readings, so the fridge never cools properly; David tests the thermistor and replaces it.
Water pooling under the crispers
On Frigidaire-built 253 Kenmores, a frozen defrost drain backs up under the drawers; David clears the drain and the heater loop.
Loud buzzing or knocking
It's a failing condenser fan motor or a struggling compressor; David replaces a bad fan motor or confirms a compressor fault.
Linear compressor not cooling
LG-built 795 Kenmores are known for linear compressor failure; David confirms whether the compressor has failed and gives you an honest recommendation.

What actually goes wrong
Here's what most shops won't tell you: Kenmore doesn't build any refrigerators. Your model-number prefix reveals the real maker: 106 is Whirlpool, 795 is LG, and 253 is Frigidaire. Proper Kenmore refrigerator repair means diagnosing the actual board, compressor, or defrost part your unit uses instead of guessing. David knows all three platforms.
Broward's heat and humidity push these fridges hard: the sealed system runs constantly, so compressors, relays, and evaporator fans wear out early. Summer power surges fry the main control board. Hard-water scale clogs ice maker inlet valves and fill tubes. And because Kenmore units come off Whirlpool, LG, or Frigidaire lines, wrong-brand parts cause repeat failures; David matches each part to the real maker.

Highly recommend! He was incredibly responsive and reliable, and was able to come out quickly to fix my dishwasher.

I can’t thank David enough for fixing my oven. My neighbor recommended him, and I’m so glad they did. He was quick to respond, explained exactly what was going on, ordered the parts, and got everything working again. Reliable, easy to work with, and clearly knows what he’s doing. Highly recommend.

FAQ
Common questions about refrigerator repair
Who actually makes my Kenmore refrigerator?
Your model-number prefix tells you: 106 is Whirlpool, 795 is LG, and 253 is Frigidaire. David reads it before he arrives, so he knows which platform your Kenmore is built on.
My Kenmore ice maker stopped working. Can you fix it?
Yes. On LG-built 795 units, it's usually the ice maker module, the inlet valve, or a frozen fill tube.
The freezer's cold, but the fridge is warm. What's wrong?
It's almost always a failed defrost system: a bad heater, thermostat, or bimetal.
Can you get a control board for an older Kenmore?
Yes. David sources the correct Whirlpool, LG, or Frigidaire board for your model rather than a generic part, so the repair holds up in Florida's heat and surges.
