# Kenmore sealed system repair

### About sealed system work, and whether to do it

This is licensed refrigerant work: recovery, leak location, repair, evacuation and a charge measured by weight. It is also the most over-diagnosed repair on a cold appliance in this city, and on a mid-market catalog it is the one most likely to lose against a new appliance. We reach it last, after the condenser, the fans, the airflow, the defrost circuit, the seals and the controls have all been measured and eliminated, and you see the readings that got us there. Where the honest arithmetic says replace it, that is what you will hear.

On this site the job covers refrigerators, freezers, and ice makers wearing the Kenmore badge, across Miami-Dade, Broward and Palm Beach. Tell us the three digits before the period on the rating plate when you book: they name the company that actually built the appliance, and on this badge that is where the diagnosis starts.

What this involves

Ruled in by measurement, never by elimination alone

Licensed refrigerant work

An honest replace-instead conversation where it applies

Everything cheaper first

Defrost, fans, sensors, seals and airflow. The great majority of not-cooling calls end in one of those and never reach this page.

Measure the system

Pressures and temperatures across the circuit. A sealed system is diagnosed by numbers, not by the sound the compressor makes.

Find where it went

A leak located rather than topped up. Recharging a leaking system is selling somebody the same repair twice.

Say what it is worth

On a mid-market refrigerator this repair can approach the cost of replacing the cabinet. Where it does, we say so before you commit and not after.

Do it properly if it goes ahead

Evacuated, charged by weight, and the recovery watched rather than assumed.

### Can the refrigerator just be topped up?

No. A sealed system does not consume refrigerant, so a low charge means it has been lost somewhere. Adding more without finding the leak buys a few months at full price.

### Somebody quoted this over the phone.

Ask what was measured. This conclusion cannot be reached without instruments at the appliance, and it is the most expensive thing on this catalog to be wrong about.
