Kenmore Side by Side Refrigerator model # 106.53559201 repair and troubleshooting help needed. Freezer frost over, refrigerator side goes hot. I have to turn it off, defrost it, then it will work for 2 days or 2 weeks.Had defrost relay replaced. Mother Board replaced after that. Compressor and fans are running. The front divider where the doors meet to close gets extremely hot to the touch at random times
See the attachment for the tech sheet.
Not sure what your current problem is.
Also do not know what the defrost relay is.
The heating up of the frame is usually something to do with the condenser coils under the unit not operating efficiently.
Check that the front kickplate and rear cover vents are clean.
Check/clean the condenser coils under the unit.
Check/clean the condenser fan’s blade.
Check that when the compressor is on that it’s fan is running.
