Sears
Refrigerator Compressor Relay Melted and Filled Kitchen With Smoke

I purchased a Kenmore side by side refrigerator from Sears on NOV. On 01/20/08,1:30 AM my daughter was in the Kitchen & began smelling electrical burning smells. After waking me up I looked through kitchen finding the smoke coming from behind the refrigerator. To fully view this area I pulled the refrigerator out from the wall. At this time the room filled with smoke. I unplugged the refrigerator & removed the service panel and noticed the relay & wires on the side of the compressor was in totally melted. Finally got the house aired out.

We did not get a hold of SEARS because I did not want the aggravation of being told they cannot do anything.

I would just like to see a recall or something done with these defective refrigerators before it causes a death.
