I have a Kenmore Elite Refrigerator (795.72489.410) that is not getting cold enough. Fridge compartments are set to 37 but will range from 45-50 with humidity around 80. Freezer is set to 0 and will generally hang around 14 but I’ve seen as high as 30 (perhaps a defrost cycle?). I used a temperature logger to gather this data. I’ve confirmed the compressor evaporator fan and the condenser fans are running. The compressor turns on but never turns off (I assume because it doesn’t get to temperature. The compressor is an LG FLB075LANA and is less than 5 years old. The Condenser coils were cleaned about 2 months ago, before this issue started. I’ve cleaned them again just to make sure. Thank you for taking the time to read through this. I assume the issue is either the compressor or refrigerant leak but I’m looking for feedback on what the my best route is to take.
Hi @arnbrhm , As you say it may be a problem somewhere in the sealed system, which also includes the compressor. According to the user manual(scroll to p.3), there is a 5 year parts only warranty on the sealed system and a 10 year parts only warranty on the linear compressor. I would go down the warranty route, especially if it is the compressor. Don’t know if this is relevant to LG compressors in Kenmore refrigerators, but it makes you wonder.
