Whirlpool has issued a service bulletin to repair this persistent and annoying problem. Fortunately, the defrost drain heater kit needed to correct this problem is inexpensive.

This applies to the Whirlpool-built Kenmore refrigerators, the three-digit prefix on the model number is 106.xxxx.

The situation here is that the freezer is at design temp, defined as 0F, but the beer compartment won’t get cold no matter where you set the temp control. There was a service flash out on these units. Condition was that ice would bind the baffle gate when in the closed position and then break the linkage when it tried to open. Result, no cold air in the beer compartment. But, hey, don’t you go frettin’ cuz, as always, Samurai’s got the cure. You need to install the upgraded air baffle assembly.

Jedi Appliance Guy explains what’s going on with this annoying ice dispenser problem and how GE is trying to sleaze out of doing the proper repair on their typically-shoddy products.

Yanno, you people who go shopping for the cheap GE crap at the big box stores, like Home Depot, deserve to be burdened with these problems. We know who you are: you’ll drive 100 miles to save five bucks on an appliance and then piss and moan like a brat in a toy store when your cheap GE crap breaks down.
