A Kenmore ice maker shares its basic needs with every other ice maker, cold air, water and a working mechanism, but where it sits, how it is reset and the codes it shows are specific to the brand and model. We flag companies whose listing or website mentions Kenmore and fill in with nearby appliance repair companies so you always have options.
This is an independent directory. We are not affiliated with Kenmore, and the technicians listed are independent repair companies, not the manufacturer.
Kenmore refrigerators and freezers were sold through Sears for decades, so many owners look for Sears appliance repair. The companies here are independent technicians who work on Kenmore and Kenmore Elite models; they are not Sears.

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 says refrigerators with an in-door ice dispenser or a direct water line are more likely to need professional installation than simple models without them. Source: Kenmore - Refrigerators and Freezers FAQ
What Kenmore Says to Check First

Freezer and Ice Maker Notes for Plano, TX
Most ice maker calls in Plano come down to the same handful of causes: water supply and pressure, a frozen fill tube, the water inlet valve, freezer temperature and the ice maker assembly itself.
Texas has no separate appliance repair license; under the Plumbing License Law, appliance dealers and their employees may install and service appliances (other than water heaters) without a plumbing license when hooking up to existing openings with a code-approved appliance connector, while other gas or water piping work generally requires a plumbing license. Source: Plumbing License Law, Tex. Occ. Code ch. 1301, §1301.053 (Texas State Board of Plumbing Examiners)
In Texas, you can check a license with the Texas plumbing Public License Search or report a problem to the Texas Attorney General, Consumer Protection Division.
