Electronic Kenmore refrigerator not working, what does this sign mean

It seems very well made, overall. Yesterday it started beeping and displaying a strange trouble signal: * * * * *http://igor.chudov.com/tmp/Kenmore-Trouble.jpg It is right above the word "Kenmore", is red and looks like a crossed lock and an exclamation. The temperature in the unit has been rising since then and clearly, it is not cooling anything. Right now both freezer and fridge are at 46 degrees F. I tried calling Kenmore, but could only speak to dummies who are forbidden to give any diagnostics. My question is WTF does this sign mean? It is meant to tell me something. Thanks i I'm confused, if its electronic then it would be thermo-electric, and not have a condenser, evaporator, or compressor. But as you have indicated it has these. So I'm guessing the electronic, is the electronic thermostat only. You indicated the compressor is hot. Sounds like the start relay is fubar, and some current limit does not trip a clicks-on switch. And start relay is now a misnomer as these have been replaced with thermistors. Most likely this is the faulted device. There should be a wiring diagram on the back side of this refrigerator, hope it does. If it's a defrost problem the diagram would show this circuit. ignator |
