The problem I am having is the same as "kenmore side by side, model # 57562792 it started about a month ago that we noticed our freezer thawed out and that the cooler side wasn't holding the temperature. We can shut it off and turn the dial back on , then we hear it come on. But now we have to do this everyday. Is it the thermastat? and how do we replace this?" Your answer was yes thermostat, buy one. I have ordered a thermostat assembly, part #2198202. I need to know how to replace this thermostat.
Thanks a million!!!

open the freezer door and empty the shelves look at the bottom of the panel in the freezer where the air holes are if it frozen or iced up. thats your problem your air flow is blocked with ice. other possibility would be a fan failure.
repl the defrost timer and and defrost thermostat the defrost thermost sists right on top of evaporator coils and if it looks like it explode then that is your problem but it looks ok then repl both timer and defrost thermostat , you didn't give enough info on model but if you repl both parts that will solve the defrost problem if you take your model# and buy the parts you will fix this under 200.00
hi thanks for the question yes it is the thermostat go and buy one they will give you instructions on how to install if not come back here and we will help thanks the appliance doc
your blowing that many thermal fuses, id replace all the thermostats. (2) come in one kit both on heater box 1 top and one bottom. id also look into your venting, a clogged fo kinked vent is going to overheat the unit and blow all sorts of stuff(not to mantion the potential fire hazard of a bad vent
Have same problem on a 2 month old Kenmore 106.5794*700. side by side. I can see ice / frost build up behind the lower baffle on fridge side. Does not seem to be any airflow from freezer side to fridge side. Freezer is extremely cold, it is about -23F. I read that 0F would be normal. Fridge side is warmish, running at about about +50F when it should be about +32 to +38F.
BTW: Ice pops started sticking to my tongue, thats why I noticed the unit wasn't working correctly.
I'm not 100% sure but I think the compressor is also running all the time as well. Either that or a Fan or something running. That kinda points to a stuck thermostat or some thing causing it to stick. I suspect that if the Freezer thermostat which is located in the Fridge compartment just may to rely on air flow from the freezer side via a duct, if this duct is blocked, the Freezer Thermostat misread the freezer compartment temperature and will always activate the compressor. Wish I had more details on exactly how the freezer thermostat works.
So after reading various forums on this it looks like a defrost issue causing the ice or frost build up or maybe just a faulty thermostat. Maybe there is a common circuit control board for these two functions?
As this is still in Warrranty I have a Sears Tech coming on Monday 14th Jan 08. I'll be interested to see what he does.
look at the bottom of the disp cover and you will find 2 slots for you to slide in a flat tip screw driver. carefully pry the bottom of the cover loose 1 side at a time.once this is loose, either remove the 2 screws that hold the switch housing in place or release the clips ( depends exactly onwhich model you as to wether there are clips or screws) once this is free remove the plastic funnel, by this point you should see how the chute door removes.
a few notes the disp cover can be hard to remove but it will come loose also reinstalling just hit it firmly over each clip witht he palm of your hand.
