Kenmore 46-71359 Garage-Ready Refrigerator Repair
Most common issues on this model
- Refrigerator not cooling after a power outage
- Icemaker slow to refill
- Excess frost at the freezer door
- Humming or clicking from the compressor area
Kenmore lists the 46-71359 as a 30-inch electric top-freezer refrigerator for garage use, with an icemaker and an ENERGY STAR rating, in 18.1 or 20.2 cu ft. A refrigerator of this type often lives where outlets and power are less steady than in a kitchen.
No builder is verified for this model. The model-number prefix on the label names the manufacturer, and from it we select parts and tests. We confirm model and serial from the label before ordering.
After a power loss or when the compressor hums and clicks, we test the start relay and overload, and then the condenser fan. Frost at the freezer door suggests a leaky gasket or a door left ajar, so we check the seal and the hinges. A slow icemaker leads us to the valve and the water pressure. A written price comes first, and our repair is covered by a 30-day workmanship warranty.

Error codes this model can show
My refrigerator hums and clicks but does not cool. What now?
That pattern often points to the start relay or overload, which help the compressor start. We test both and the compressor windings before we suggest a replacement.
Why is there frost at the freezer door?
A warm, humid room and a leaky gasket let moist air in. We check the seal, the hinges and whether the door closes fully. Wiping the seal clean can help as well.
Should the garage affect where the refrigerator is placed?
Leave room around the unit so the coils can breathe, and keep it out of direct sun. We look at placement when we diagnose cooling problems.
