Kenmore 46-71355 Top-Freezer Icemaker Repair
Most common issues on this model
- Ice bin empty or icemaker arm stuck up
- Water leaking from the fill tube area
- Freezer temperature swinging
- Fresh food section freezing the lettuce
The Kenmore 46-71355 is a 30-inch electric top-freezer refrigerator designed to be garage-ready and fitted with an icemaker. It has an ENERGY STAR rating, and the listing shows 18.1 or 20.2 cu ft. Most owners use it as extra cold storage beyond the main kitchen.
The record leaves the manufacturer blank for this one. We look to the prefix on the model-number label, which names the builder, and use it to choose parts and diagnostics. Model and serial are copied before we order.
With an icemaker, we begin at the water supply: the valve, the line and the fill tube. If the ice bin stays empty, we check the arm and the heater that releases cubes. Items freezing in the fresh food side lead us to the damper and the temperature control. We give you the price in writing, and a 30-day workmanship warranty covers the work.

Error codes this model can show
The ice bin is empty. Is the icemaker dead?
Not always. A shut-off arm left up, a frozen fill tube or low water supply stops production. We check those first, then the heater and motor.
Why are items in the fresh food section freezing?
Too much cold air through the damper, or a sensor reading wrong, can cause it. We test the damper and the sensor before we replace any part.
Where does leaking at the fill tube come from?
It can be a loose fitting or a cracked tube, or ice that formed and melted. We follow the water path and fix the exact point.
