Kenmore 61359 20.2 cu ft Top-Freezer Repair
Most common issues on this model
- Freezer frost that returns soon after clearing
- Fridge side drifting warm overnight
- Clicking from the compressor area every few minutes
- Door that swings open or sticks
Here we have the Kenmore 61359, a 20.2 cu ft top-freezer at 30 inches wide, electric, with a metallic steel finish and black trim. A refrigerator in this class is the kind people place in a kitchen corner or a basement pantry.
Plates on Kenmore units carry a prefix, and that prefix is how we find out who made this one. Parts and meter tests are then chosen for that builder. Full model and serial from the plate are checked before ordering.
Frost that comes back soon after you clear it makes us suspect the door seal or the defrost parts, so we test both. Clicking from the compressor area can mean a relay cycling the compressor on and off, which we measure rather than assume. You approve a written price first. Our workmanship then stays under warranty for 30 days.

Why does frost come back after I defrost it?
If moisture keeps entering, through a worn gasket or an open door, frost returns fast. If the defrost heater or sensor has failed, the coil ices over again. We test both and fix the real cause.
Should I worry about clicking from behind the fridge?
A single click as the compressor starts is normal. Repeated clicks with no steady hum can point to the start relay or overload. We check those parts and read the cycle to see whether the compressor runs.
My door will not stay shut. Can you fix that?
Yes. A door that drifts open often has a worn gasket, a tilted cabinet or a hinge out of line. We level the unit, adjust the hinges and replace the gasket if it no longer holds a seal.
