Kenmore 71335 Top-Freezer with Icemaker Repair
Most common issues on this model
- Ice cubes small, hollow or missing
- Icemaker arm or sensor stuck
- Frost on the freezer wall near the ice mold
- Fresh-food section warming up in summer
The Kenmore 71335 is a 33-inch electric top-freezer with 20.4 cu ft of space and an icemaker. An installation like this needs a cold-water line run to the back of the cabinet, usually from a shutoff under the sink.
What the name leaves out, the prefix on the data plate supplies: the builder. We use it to match parts and tests. Model and serial are copied from the plate before any part is ordered for this unit.
Small or hollow cubes tell us water pressure or fill time is off, so we test the supply line and the fill valve first. A stuck icemaker arm or a mold that will not release points to the icemaker module itself. In summer, a warm fresh-food side often traces back to dusty coils or a fan that has slowed. You get the cost in writing first. Our labor then comes with a 30-day warranty.

Error codes this model can show
Why are my ice cubes small or hollow?
Low water flow from a partly closed shutoff, a clogged filter or a weak fill valve gives a short fill. We check the line, the valve and the inlet screen, then run an ice cycle to confirm.
My icemaker arm will not lower. Can you fix it?
Yes. We check whether the arm is bent, blocked by ice or simply stuck on its shaft. If the module has failed, we replace it and confirm that it fills, freezes and releases ice.
Why does the fridge warm up when it is hot outside?
A hot kitchen makes the compressor work harder. If the coils are dusty or the fan is slow, it cannot keep up. We clean the coils, test the fan and check the door seal to restore a steady temperature.
