The refrigerator wasn't cooling properly. We found that the sealed system had failed, preventing the unit from reaching the correct temperatures in both the fresh food and freezer sections. Job complete. The technician measured fresh food compartment temperature at 58°F and freezer at 35°F, confirmed the compressor and evaporator fan were operating, and inspected the freezer evaporator coil frost pattern which showed minimal buildup—all indicative of sealed system failure.

Job Details: 09/25/2026
The washer was making loud noises and moving around during cycles. We leveled the unit, removed debris from the impeller, and identified a weakened suspension system that was causing the tub to shift erratically and crack the tub ring. We completed the necessary repairs and adjustments. Job complete. Technician inspected suspension components and found excessive wear causing tub movement during operation. Leveling legs were adjusted, impeller was cleared of foreign material, and a cracked tub ring was identified as resulting from the suspension failure.

The customer's Kenmore refrigerator wasn't cooling properly.

Technician inspected evaporator coil frost buildup, verified evaporator fan and compressor operation, and measured compartment temperatures to isolate the failure to the sealed refrigeration system.
