Hello,
How long will it take for the refrigerater to start blowing cold air. Just got a used Kenmore Elite, side by side. Plugged it in, and only get slightly cold air. Not familiar with the controls. What can I do?
Sincerely
Jim

Usually when you buy one used the unit will have a dirty condenser coil. To clean it remove the back and wash out the coils with spray soap like "409" and wash off with hose nozzle. Make sure to clean the fan, too. It should get cold rather quickly. Here are the manuals:https://dl.dropbox.com/u/8010163/Whirlpool%20Refrigerators.zip
Whirlpool makes Kenmore.
