Default Warm fridge, Zero temp freezer
Model Number: 596.76523500   Brand: Kenmore   Age: 1 - 5 years   

My refrigerator starting warming up last night--it went from 38 to 68 in about 4 hours. My freezer is fine. I don't see any visible problems with frost or leaks or overheating. Please advise. Does anyone know where I could find a repair manual online? Thanks

Measure your back freezer wall temperature, should be between zero and 5 degrees. If ok, pull your service sheet, should be under the front kick panel. Per schematic, check the resistance of the fridg section thermistor, probably bad. This controls the motorized damper. Make sure also, that the damper door is not jammed shut.
