Diagnosing Your Kenmore Refrigerator 795 Ice Maker Problem and Fixing It
Discussed are 9 Kenmore fridge 795 ice maker issues you can diagnose and troubleshoot at home:
1. Kenmore Elite 795 Ice Maker Leaking
A leaky ice maker can be annoying, and when it comes to the Kenmore refrigerator 795, the ice maker may leak into the freezer, ice bucket, ice bin, or floor.
Overall, here are the potential causes of the leaking:
a) Malfunctioning Fill Tube
The Kenmore Icemaker receives water via the fill tube. So, if the fill tube is faulty, water can’t fill the ice maker and will leak into the freezer instead.
Fix
Undo the fill tube in the ice bucket and replace it if it’s faulty
b) Frosted fill tube
Sometimes the fill tube may be okay but cannot do its job because it’s frozen. So, instead of the water filling the ice maker, it’ll leak onto the floor.
Fix
Run hot water through the fill tube to unfreeze it. Alternatively, turn off the unit and leave its door open for 30 minutes for the ice to melt on its own.
c) Drain Clogging
The condenser drains accumulate dirt over time, which can clog them. If that happens, water may start leaking into the freezer.
Fix
Clean the condensation drains, which you can locate at the base of the freezer.
d) Expired Filter
The filter, whose job is to purify water before filling the ice maker, can be a source of the leakage if faulty.
Fix
Check the filter’s expiry date and replace it if it has expired.
e) Ice Jam
As your freezer temperature decreases, the ice in the ice bucket may come together to form a large mass which causes leakage into the ice bin.
Fix
Unplug the unit and remove the ice mass. You can also leave the freezer open for 30 minutes under room temperatures.
f) Low Water Pressure
Your ice maker requires at least 20 psi to run effectively. The ice maker will fill with water and leak if the pressure drops below.

Why does the ice maker stay at a steady 27 degrees Fahrenheit regardless of the freezer temperature?
The ice maker’s ability to maintain a consistent temperature of 27 degrees Fahrenheit, regardless of the freezer’s settings, can be attributed to its internal temperature control mechanism. This mechanism regulates the cooling process within the ice maker, overriding the external temperature conditions set by the freezer.
One peculiar observation is that the ice fan intermittently runs and stops, as if indicating the completion of its intended task. Another unusual aspect is that the ice maker displays a message suggesting that it will not produce ice, despite the fact that it is indeed producing ice – it simply doesn’t dispense it automatically.
To remedy this, the individual taps the reset button, which prompts the ice maker to initiate the dumping process and produce another batch of ice within a reasonable time frame.
In conclusion, the ice maker maintains a consistent temperature of 27 degrees Fahrenheit regardless of the freezer’s settings due to its internal temperature control mechanism.
What is the temperature in the freezer when set to different settings?
Based on my measurements, the temperature in the ice compartment is approximately 27 degrees Fahrenheit. I conducted thorough measurements inside the freezer and observed that when set to a temperature of 8 degrees, the front of the freezer registered around 15 degrees Fahrenheit. On the other hand, when the freezer was set to -6 degrees, I did not wait long enough for it to stabilize, but it did drop to approximately 3 degrees Fahrenheit.
What is the problem with the ice compartment temperature?
Based on my analysis, the problem with the ice compartment temperature is that it is measuring around 27 F, which indicates that it is not reaching the desired freezing temperature. I further investigated the freezer temperature and observed that when set to 8, the front of the freezer reached approximately 15 F. However, when set to -6, I did not wait long enough for it to stabilize, but it had dropped to approximately 3 F. Therefore, it is evident that the ice compartment is not adequately cooling, resulting in a higher temperature than necessary for ice production.
