Thanks for the advice. My model number is S2702100 Serial SL4148490 Sears,
since now my fridge is "working", has offered me a service contract for
$230. This includes annual maintenance visit and a warranty extension on
the fridge for four years. From the possibilities of problems that I may be
having, it sounds like this my be the best option.

Look closely at the evaporator side of your system,specifically the
defrost
timer,evap. coils/fins,evap moter,defrost heater elements. It sounds like
it
is not defrosting as it should

Hi,
In the past two years we had two episodes where my 2001 side-by-side
Kenmore
fridge-freezer worked fine, but the fridge warmed up. Both times were
fixed
by a hair dryer heating the cold air vent (blows cold air into the
fridge
and what I think is a return vent (on the lower side of the fridge) in
the
fridge. Can you tell me the most common causes and what I can do to
prevent
another reoccurrence?

Thanks, Marc
