We have a family of four to include two infants - one night the refrigerator began to smoke. It seemed to nearly catch fire so we cut the electricity. Online we have seen a number of people wait several weeks for Sears to make their assessment on Kenmore fridges, and I, in NO WAY, want this fire risk in my home.
