Kenmore 61355 Top Freezer Refrigerator Repair
Most common issues on this model
- Freezer cold but the fridge section is warm
- Compressor humming without a full start
- Loud fan after the door is opened
- Wet floor from a blocked defrost drain
The Kenmore 61355 is a 30-inch electric top-freezer refrigerator with 20.2 cu ft of space in a metallic steel finish. Units like it often serve a busy household as the main refrigerator, installed against a wall with a standard outlet.
Kenmore is the seller, not necessarily the builder. The prefix on the data plate names the real maker, and our parts and checks follow it. On arrival we read both the model and the serial off that plate.
A fridge side that warms up while the freezer stays cold sends us straight to airflow: the fan, the damper and ice on the evaporator. If the compressor hums without a full start, we test the start parts and run the cycle to see how it behaves. Work starts only after you approve a written price, and 30 days of workmanship coverage follow.

Why is the compressor humming and not starting?
A hum with no start can come from the start relay or capacitor, or from the compressor itself. We test the start parts first, since they are far cheaper to replace, and we say clearly if the compressor is the issue.
Could a blocked drain make my floor wet?
Yes. When the defrost drain freezes, meltwater overflows into the fresh-food area and may reach the floor. We clear the drain, find out why it froze and make sure the heater is working.
Do top-freezers like the 61355 need space behind them?
They need a little clearance so the condenser can shed heat. Pushing the cabinet flush against the wall makes it run longer. We check clearance, clean the coils and look at the fan during a visit.
