Airflow and defrost problems in Kenmore Elite refrigerators

Issues like inconsistent cooling, frost buildup or loud fan noise usually point to a failed evaporator fan, sensor or defrost system.

If the freezer is working but the fridge section feels warm, a faulty diffuser may be blocking airflow. Use our guide on how to replace a diffuser in a side-by-side refrigerator to restore circulation.

Loud humming or rattling inside the fridge

A noisy evaporator fan can mean the motor bearings are worn or the fan blade is obstructed. Follow these steps for how to replace the evaporator fan motor in a top freezer refrigerator or in a side-by-side refrigerator, depending on your model.

Frost building up on the back panel

Frost in the freezer section usually means the defrost heater or sensor has failed. Learn how to replace a defrost heater in a side-by-side refrigerator or how to replace a defrost sensor.
