Product review (5 stars): Easy fix for a tired Kenmore refrigerator
The Kenmore fridge we've had for 19 years quit cooling one day and we almost lost all we had due to spoilage.  We immediately went and purchased a replacement but, in the mean time I did some online research and determined that the thermostat may be the fix.  I ordered and received the thermostat in 2 days.  Removing the old and replacing the new part was fairly simple.  Total time:  20 minutes.  Look online for how-to videos.  Bottom line:  The old refrigerator is working GREAT and is now the one I use in the garage.  Total cost of the fix was approx. $30.
