All-Refrigerator Keeps Running

December 7th, 2009

Model Number: 253 60721008 Brand: Kenmore Age: 5 – 10 years

——————————————————————————–

I have a Kenmore All-Refrigerator (no freezer) that runs and runs. I don’t recall it ever shutting down except once when I turned the temperature from 34 to 43 degrees to keep things from freezing. The temperature control works because I CAN turn it up and down. I put an electronic thermostat/humidity meter in it to ensure the temperature was good and did notice however that the humidity seemed a bit high (around 70%) whereas another refrigerator/freezer that I have has a refrigerator humidity of around 40%. Also, the door sucks itself closed just fine so no seal leaks, I’m pretty sure.
I cannot locate my model number on ANY repair or parts site.
Serial number is WA21600205

Not sure of model # but some all refrigerators have a fan inside that runs 24/7 when plug into outlet.This fan was used to keep humidity levels down,because some older models had rusting problems inside fridge such as shelfs ,screws etc. This fridge usually has high humidity levels, this is normal.But if tempertures are not normal and the compressor is running and won,t shut off,there is a good chance there is a low side leak in the seal system.Some refrigerators carry a 5 year warranty on the seal system.
