Hello All,
I have a Kenmore refrigerator (596.50392001) It's approximately 10 years old.
When the problem starts the water dispenser stops working. This also stops the ice cube maker. It doesn't stop refrigerating but is noticeably less.I had the same problem about 5 years ago. Cost me about $400.00 to get fixed. I don't recall what was replaced. If the refrigerator is turned off for a period of time it will fix itself. Appears to be a freezing issue.
This refrigerator is not worth spending that kind of money again. If I can fix it myself I will keep. Otherwise sounds like refrigerators have become disposable items.
Any input would be appreciated.
