Kenmore 46-51845 Side-by-Side Refrigerator Repair
Most common issues on this model
- Ice maker not making ice or ice jamming in the chute
- Dispenser giving little or no water
- Freezer side frosting
- Door bins or gaskets loose
The Kenmore 46-51845 is listed as a 29 cu ft side-by-side refrigerator with a through-the-door ice and water dispenser, adjustable gallon-door bins and electronic temperature controls. It sits in a full-size opening, with a water line behind it for the ice maker and dispenser.
The record does not say who built this model. The prefix of the model number on the label identifies the builder, and we read it before choosing parts and tests. The serial is copied too, before we order anything.
On side-by-side refrigerators with a dispenser, we check the water inlet valve, the filter, the ice maker and the tubing, then the evaporator fan and defrost system on the freezer side. Weak water flow is often a clogged filter, so we start there. We quote in writing first, and a 30-day workmanship warranty covers our work.

Error codes this model can show
The dispenser gives little water. What do you check?
On a side-by-side like this, we begin with the water filter, then the inlet valve and the line behind the unit. A frozen or kinked line can also slow the flow.
Why does ice jam in the chute?
Ice can melt and refreeze if the door is left open or the dispenser seal leaks. We clear the chute, check the ice maker and test the dispenser door.
Do I need to replace the filter before you come?
If it is overdue, a new one is a fair first step. We check flow with and without it, so we know whether the filter or the valve is behind the weak flow.
