Turn it off by removing the wall plug for 10 minutes. This will do a power rest to the control electronics. This is a bottom mounted freezer, so cold air for the fridge is vented upwards by a fan. Make sure it is running and there are no ice blockages. Strangely they call the fan in the fridge an
Refrigerator Evaporator Fan Motor. The part is obsolete anyway.
If it normally says 4 for the fridge, that would be 4 degrees Centigrade, which means the freezer should show minus 18'C. Or 36'F Fridge / 0' F Freezer/
This shows all the parts.

Coldspot 106. Model
This model refrigerator is a relatively small refrigerator. It is a Freezer on top model, and Sears documents lists this unit at 18.1 cu ft. I hope that answers your question about capacity.
I'm glad I could help. If you need anything else, just let me know.
In reality, when you buy a replacement, you buy by dimensions to fit the space not cubic feet of the old one. Go to Home Depot armed with a tape measure.

Not normally a flapper. There is a trap on the rear outside cabinet just below the level of the freezer. Remove it and soak in hot water and bleach for 20 minutes, then flush all the debris out, shake it dry and reinstall.

Kenmore appliance model numbers have a three digit prefix (106 in this case) for the manufacturer. The rest of the model number indicates a lot of the specifics for the refrigerator. The third digit is the second group indicates the capacity. This fridge is a 22 cubic foot model (or slightly smaller).
I hope this helps.

Hello Linda. This should be below my Answer rather than being a new Question. This post has no context to the previous question and my answer. I just happened to see it, but if you clicked Comment under my answer, I would get a notification and come back to help. If I hadn't seen it and someone had answered it with 'not sure what you mean', it would have vanished off the Homepage as Solved and I would never have seen it.
I was just copying Cindy Wells answer, but yes, it is the total cubic feet of both the refrigerator and freezer combined.

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.
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).
