Kenmore 46-71349 Icemaker Refrigerator Repair
Most common issues on this model
- Ice cubes small, hollow or missing
- Freezer frosting along the back wall
- Fan noise from the freezer
- Refrigerator running warm in summer heat
Kenmore’s listing for the 46-71349 describes a 30-inch electric top-freezer refrigerator that is garage-ready, has an icemaker and carries an ENERGY STAR rating. It is shown in 18.1 and 20.2 cu ft sizes. A unit like this often serves as a second refrigerator outside the main kitchen.
We do not name the builder without proof, and none is on record here. The prefix at the front of the model number on the label tells us who made it, so we read that and pick parts to match. We copy the serial as well before we order.
Small or hollow ice usually points to low water flow, so we check the fill valve and line, and the filter if one is fitted. A frosting freezer sends us to the defrost heater, sensor and fan. In summer heat, we look at the condenser airflow. The price is put in writing first, and our repair is backed by a 30-day workmanship warranty.

Error codes this model can show
Why is my ice small or hollow?
Low water flow is the usual cause. We check the valve, the fill tube and any filter, and look for a partly frozen line. Ice trays that freeze slowly give the same result.
What if the fan in the freezer is loud?
A fan that rubs ice or has worn bearings gets noisy. We clear the ice if there is any, spin the blade and replace the motor only when it is worn.
Why does a garage refrigerator warm up in summer?
A hot room makes the compressor work harder, and dusty coils make it worse. We clean the coils, check the fans and review the control settings.
