When I opened my refrigerator door, I smelled burning. I felt the top shelf of the refrig and noticed that it was very hot and all of the food was hot. Everything in the frig was warm and spoiled. Thankfully, we weren't on vacation! The light cover was dislodged and hanging down. We then realized that the lightbulbs were very hot and that the light did not turn off when we closed the frig.

This has now happened several times. The most recent time, we actually took the light cover off and noticed that it has melted and warped.

This is the second malfuntioning item in this frig. The first thing was the ice maker. It manufactures ice and never stops filling. The arm that should trip the shut off to the unit it too short. We called Sears repair and when he came out he said, "Yes, this a problem with this ice maker but until more people complain about it, we don't have a recall. We've lived with this for 3 years now only to NOW be dealing with a new problem.

Hopefully, before our house burns down when we are away on vacation, they will come up with a solution!

Corey D in Centralia, IL Our light fixture also melted and spoiled all the food. The ice maker never shuts off and the latches at the top of the doors fell off. We have to manually shut the doors every time we open it. The Centralia Sears store was NOT helpful. I will never buy Kenmore again.
