I have an electronic Kenmore refrigerator 596.50013100. I bought it from a private party over a year ago and it has been working great until now. It seems very well made, overall.
Yesterday it started beeping and displaying a strange trouble signal:
It is right above the word "Kenmore", is red and looks like a crossed lock and an exclamation.
The temperature in the unit has been rising since then and clearly, it is not cooling anything. Right now both freezer and fridge are at 46 degrees F.
I tried calling Kenmore, but could only speak to dummies who are forbidden to give any diagnostics.
My question is WTF does this sign mean? It is meant to tell me something.
Thanks
