How Kenmore Ice Makers and Freezers Work
Kenmore explains that in a cold room the thermostat in a standard refrigerator can sense the cabinet as cold enough, so the compressor stays off and food in the freezer can thaw. Source: Kenmore Livemore - Extra Storage: Garage Ready Fridges

What Kenmore Says to Check First
