Hello Mr. Fix-It, just want to thank you for posting this tutorial. Being a petite woman, I was, at first, intimidated at the task but your instructions are clear and easy to follow. I am so happy I got my fridge working again. My sincere appreciation to you sir. It feels nice to know I can tackle this problem when it happens again.
My fridge had the Er rF error code and I just fixed it by following your video. Saved me a lot of time, stress, and money. Thank you so much for posting!
I have the same refrigerator. After a few months of use it began making a ticking noise. When I opened the fridge it would stop. I looked at the back of the fridge and thought there is no way to investigate this. Then I asked google and it lead me to your video. I watched it and thought "well that's it!"... and it looked easy enough to do. I opened it up and sure enough there was ice building up around the fan and a large chunk on the coils. I melted all the ice with a hairdryer and put it back together. When I plugged it back in the sound was gone!!!! All in all about 30 minutes of work. Thanks so much for taking the time to make and post this awesome and educational video. I have posted some of my own how to videos and know how much time it takes to create and post these. Your efforts are much appreciated! UA-cam is an awesome place to share knowledge!
VERY helpful. I did that to the bottom freezer, but not the fridge above it. That's the exact clicking noise I have. I feel better now. Thanks for taking the time on this video.
Mr Fix-It-Family, you nailed it to the tee. I had the same fridge serviced 3x's under warranty and while they kinda fixed it, it still collects ice down by the crisper. Unfortunately this has become a yearly ritual with us too. Thanks for your insight, great video. FYI this will be our LAST Kenmore product we purchase.
I know this video was posted a few years ago, but it definitely helped me. Have same problem with mine and waiting 2 weeks for a Sears service call is just not practical. Affirmation of why depend on others when you can do it yourself! Mahalo for the video!
Thank you for posting. I just got done defrosting mine. I plugged it back in and now i wait to make sure everything is working properly. Gave me a good opportunity to clean the fridge really well also.
Thanks for the tip Helped me fix my LG LFXS30766D unit where there was a fan hitting something noise so I did the recommended removal of the panel to defrost the ice. Here is a little tip you don’t need to disconnect the panel just move it over to the right side of the frig and when using the hair dryer to remove or melt the ice just heat the ice at the fins and lift the ice off that way you don’t have to melt all the ice, same thing with the ice on the copper coil just melt the ice around the coil and fin area on the left side of the radiator and lift the ice off and you are done.
Where do I find your video regarding the faulty sensor replacement regarding the ice build up that the fan hits? Great first video...I am about to do the same to mine. Thank you
Having the same problem, I will never get kenmore again. How long will it take for the ice to melt on its own. I am to afraid to try taking it apart. How do u replace the sensor you are talking about
I think I'm having this same problem. The sound is definitely coming from low in the refrigerator. I found I can switch off the ice maker and stop the noise. This is just a temporary solution until I can open up the back as shown. Does this make sense? Does the fan turn-off at the ice maker switch?

Great video, thank you. Remember to re-connect the wire when you put the back on the refrigerator after defrosting the coil, not shown here.
Yes ma’am you are right. I’ve noticed that
Thank you very much! Worked like a charm!! Saved us a ton of money!!
Thank you for posting this!! great work. I'll post again once I open my fridge.
This is GREAT!! Thank you. Plus…. Loving the Shiner!! 🍻
Thank you so much for this video. You saved me hundreds of dollars.
Where do I find your video regarding the faulty sensor replacement regarding the ice build up that the fan hits? Great first video...I am about to do the same to mine. Thank you
Great video buddy thanks 🙏 it helped me to get my job done more easier.
Having the same problem, I will never get kenmore again. How long will it take for the ice to melt on its own. I am to afraid to try taking it apart. How do u replace the sensor you are talking about

If I shut the refrigerator off will it de-ice on it's own?
Great video. Thank you so much it helped. 👍👍👍👍
Wait, one has to do this at least once a year? that is some serious maintenance! seem like a serious design flaw.
thanks for your help
What if we switch off the refrigerator for 24 hrs to allow the ice to melt instead of dismantling
Mine was doing the same noise. I have a kenmore refrigerator. I removed the ice but now the refrigerator and the freezer are not working.
What's the sensor called ??
The sensor and its replacement are detailed out in the other refrigerator video on the channel
Hola, compré una nevera de esas de segunda mano, y siento que no enfría bien en la nevera y no congela en el freezer, a qué temperatura debo ponerla?
Have anyone gotten an error code Er FF
That's why I'm here
Did you ever get it fixed and what was that code
My fridge keeps clicking but it is turning on and off a motor. Is this the same clicking that is shown here?
This isn’t a permanent fix and there has to be a problem with the auto defrost
Why is no one talking about all those beers in the fridge.
Can we just call Kenmore?
Shiner bock!!!!
what a bad design
