Kenmore frig freezer will go to 20 degrees and stay there

BUY A NEW FRIGE FROM ALDI

Only needs to go down to 20 f

Jason,
MOST refrigerators get there cold from the freezer side and circulate it via a fan that's also normally inside the freezer. There are three motors normally in a refrigeration system. The inside Evaporator fan motor that circulates air across the evaporator coil inside the box, the Condenser fan motor near the compressor that cools the freon after compression, and the compressor itself. If you open the doors (and sometimes you may have to hold in the door switches) do you hear a fan running? If not you could have a couple things going on: 1. The fan(s) has failed. 2. The freezer Evap coil may of iced over and the fan too is frozen stopped. 3. Your condensing unit:(compressor, condenser fan, condenser coils) has a problem.
It is important to know if the compressor itself is running. If there is a loose connection to the compressor via the start/over load relay (normally attaches directly onto the compressor), or if the start/over load otself is bad the compressor will not run. Best way to tell is via gauges but I doubt your frig has ports. Check to see if your compressor is really hot. Could be bad start/over load relay or bad compressor. Try unplugging your frig for say 30 min then, with your hand on top of a cool compressor, plug the frig back in and see if compressor smoothly vibrates for at least 5 min without becoming very hot or shutting off even though fan continues to run. The fact your fan is running TYPICALLY means the thermostat is calling for lower temps and the fan/compressor kick in together.

Sounds like a defrost failure.
Look on the back wall of the freezer from the inside.
If it is covered in ice your defrost system has failed.
Also check the fan motor in the freezer.
If it is not running it must be replaced.

uve probably got a freon leak check to see if compressor is running and fans inside are blowing if so then u probably have a freon leak

You must have a bad compressor relay

are the coils clean under the frig or some models have in the rear clean and now if clean and fan doing its job then possible a sealed system issue and you'll need to get a knowledgeable person to check for weak charge or leak

you need to replace the start components on the compressor, theres a relay that mounts on to the compressor that takes out the start winding after it starts the compressor up. You can also try whats called a three in one to try to start up the unit. Good Luck.

HI thanks for your question, i think what your problem is . the compressor is over heating and cutted out. clean all the coils at the back of the fridge. if theres a fan motor at the back make sure its going check that thanks

THE ONLY THING HOT IN FREEZER IS DEFROST HEATER AT COMES ON EVERY 6 HRS. FOR 20 MINUTES, YOU CAN PULL THE FRIG. OUT AND USE A 5/16 OR 1/4 INCH NUT DRIVER TO REMOVE CARDBORD,YOU WILL FIND CONDENSER FAN AND CONSENSER COILS,USE HAND BRUSH AND THEN A SHOP VAC TO REMOVE ALL DUST,YOUR FRIG. WILL WORK ALOT EASYER NOW,THANKS-MIKE
