Kenmore Fridge Lights Flashing Breakdown Brand: Kenmore Model Number: 596.77533600 Age: 1 - 4 years I tried searching the forums but can't seem to find any answers to my specific fridge problem.
My Kenmore Fridge (Bottom Freezer, Double Door Fridge) is almost 2 years old.
We noticed after supper yesterday that the water and ice maker stopped working. I dumped the ice out, re-set everything and nothing happened. But the fridge was still working as was the freezer.
Two hours later, my husband tried pressing one of the digital buttons on the front of the door and all lights started blinking and the door flap to the ice maker continuously flapped open and closed. The fridge and freezer were still running.
We unplugged it and my husband opened the panel were the circuit board is (? not sure if that describes it right) and he disconnected something that made the lights go off but allowed the fridge to still run. Only problem was that we realized without having the digital screen, the fridge would not likely cut out because it wouldn't know what the temp. was. So we unplugged it, unloaded it and called a repair man.
Problem is, no one can come to check the fridge for over a week and assuming we need a part, it will likely be longer before it is repaired.
Does anyone out there have any suggestions as to what the problem could be?
My husband is handy but doesn't have any specific fridge repair experience!
Any advice would be greatly appreciated. |
