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
Kenmore's garage-ready refrigerators use an inverter compressor that it says holds temperatures steadier, runs quieter and wears less than a conventional compressor. Source: Kenmore Livemore - Extra Storage: Garage Ready Fridges
What Kenmore Says to Check First
- Freezer thawing in a cold garage. Kenmore says a standard refrigerator in a room below about 45°F may not run its compressor enough, and recommends a garage-ready model built for a wide temperature range. Source: Kenmore Livemore - Extra Storage: Garage Ready Fridges
Kenmore Freezer Problems Worth a Service Call
