About this model
Model overview
The Kenmore 46-75472 is a bottom-freezer refrigerator in white, listed at 15.1 cu. ft. in the current lineup. The fresh-food section is at eye level and the freezer is a pull-out drawer below it. At this size it suits flats, in-law units and smaller kitchens where a wide cabinet will not fit.
Faults we see on bottom-freezer layouts
- The drawer does not slide shut fully, so the seal never closes and frost builds along its edges.
- Fresh-food temperatures wander while the freezer is solid, which usually leads to airflow or defrost checks.
- A steady drip or puddle near the bottom, sometimes from the drain tray under the unit.
- A repeated buzz, rattle or fan whirr from the compartment near the floor.
Small kitchens, tight fits
Bottom-freezer models often live in narrow alcoves. Check the gap at both sides and above, because a cabinet squeezed on every edge cannot release heat. Also confirm the floor beneath is firm; a slightly soft or uneven section can make the drawer ride crooked on its slides and stop sealing.
Checks that are safe for you
- Pull the drawer out and look for items jamming the slides or the basket.
- Wipe the drawer gasket and the frame where it meets.
- Make sure the door of the upper compartment closes squarely.
- Confirm the outlet is live and the breaker is on.
Leave the lower rear cover and the cooling lines alone; those are for a technician.
The stainless version is the Kenmore 46-75475. Broader help sits under Kenmore refrigerator repair and Kenmore refrigerators, with a symptom article on Kenmore refrigerator leaking water. Write down the full number from the label before you request a visit.
What the visit looks like
Expect the technician to start at the drawer and the upper doors, then move to the vents and the fan before looking low at the base. You will get the findings in plain words, a written estimate, and a chance to say no.
Frequently asked questions
Check for stored items resting on the rails first. If it still catches or sits open, a technician inspects the slides, the basket and the gasket.
On bottom-freezer units the cold air for the upper compartment travels from the evaporator. A blocked vent, weak fan or defrost issue can all leave it warm.
Moving the unit into the home is a delivery matter. We repair it once it is in place, so check the measurements with your delivery team.
Not always. It may be condensation or drain trouble rather than a supply line. Diagnosis separates them.
