Frequently Asked Questions About Domestic Refrigerator Repair:

Do I need a new control?

Can you tell me how to replace a temperature control on a Sears Kenmore Cold Spot. According to plate on the inside of frig it was manufactured on 6/87. Freezer cant get anything lower than 40 degrees F.

Controls are usually replaced if the unit gets too cold, or the unit cuts in and out erratically. Sounds to me like you have a different problem, perhaps a fan or automatic defrost malfunction. If it is a problem that you can repair yourself either my book or video which you can review back on the web site, can help you do it yourself.
