I cannot find any info on the given model number, please check it. I tried at AppliancePartsPros and the Sears site. Kenmore numbers are usually 3 digits. a period and the 8 digits. Below are a couple good sites that may help you trouble shoot this. http://www.applianceaid.com/frig.htmlAppliance Repair Guide: How To Fix a Refrigerator - ACME HOW TO.comIf by frosting up you mean that the evaporator coils were frosting/icing up to the point that the evaporator/freezer fan could not pull air through them then it sounds like this was a defrost problem. Your current problem sounds like either a compressor start device problem or a compressor problem. The second link above has info on how to check these. |

Hi thank you Denman. I unpluged the frig.for a few hours and I plug'ed it up and the freezer is freezing. But the refrigerator is not getting cold. I had problems with my whirlpool washer and I was told to order a lid switch and order'ed one an that was problem . people should not drop the lid when closeing the lid . Thank you very MUCH . Opress.:confused: ;) ;)

You need to do more troubleshooting.
And I need a model number in order to help you further.
It sounds like the compressor is running which is good.
It will take quite a while for the fresh food section to drop in temperature.
Is the condenser/compressor fan running?
Is the evaporator/freezer fan running?
Can you say where the clicking was coming from? |

Sorry but I still cannot find any info on this unit.
If it is a non-USA model then perhaps info is not available.
If by "Round ball" you mean the compressor then perhaps the start device is going. |
