My Kenmore Elite 795.73167.610 refrigerator (temp set to 36) and freezer (temp set to -1) last week freezer started to unthaw and then my fridge temp started to go up to 50 so I pulled all food out. The following morning the temp was fairly close to set temp and the only thing we did was wipe off the coils and turn off the ice maker. I turned the ice maker back on the next day and it sent my fridge temp back up to the 50s again (put a thermometer inside the fridge). This “maybe" under warranty so has to be serviced by Sears only and the earliest they can come is 5 weeks out so wondering if anyone has dealt with this and what the issue/fix may have been?
This is a LG built Kenmore. You have a bad compressor without a doubt. Have warranty fix it, should have a warranty on the compressor. I rebuild 3-4 of these a day. The compressor has been updated and its issues fixed at least for now but you can look up LG and their compressors and see what type of problems they have had.
