Fiverrdrums A good bit of water gets in the bottom of Kenmore. Refrigerator each day from places unknown to me. Water shut off before it goes to to ice maker ?
Thanks for writing that up, much appreciated!
this is awesome - thank you!
Thank you!
Maybe tone down the music so I can hear what you're saying???
Thanks for the feedback, Jim! We’ll take it into consideration for future videos!
where can i buy a hinge bracket for the bottom door?.
What if the Kenmore fridge uses bolts for the bottom bracket / hinge, and the bolts have had the heads shaved off?
By the way, the background music is really annoying.
