I would suggest calling the manufacturer MTD at 1-855-971-2244 and report your issue to them. They should also be able to tell you if there is a recall and/or if they have had any other reports of this issue. Hope this helps!

Kenmore 253.6419440 top-freezer refrigerator has a capacity of 20.6 cu. ft. For marketing purposes, it would be sold as a 21 cu ft model.

I couldn't find a model 253.6449440. Is the model number hard to read? A difference of just on digit in the first four numbers after the prefix (253.) will lead to info for a different size model. The third digit after a 253. prefix indicates the second digit of the model cu ft capacity.

As an example, there is a Kenmore 253.6482440A, which is a 17.something model that would be rounded up to 18 cu ft.

If the model is a 17.X cu ft, then the refrigerator is approximately 13 cu ft and the freezer will be 3.8 cu ft.

If the model is a 20.X cu ft, the refrigerator is approximately 15 cu ft and the freezer is 5.3 cu ft.

How did you determine that the total capacity is 17 cu ft? I hope this helps!

Regarding switch, yes I did as described in your link. Replacement switch has 4 terminals with micro-switch outside, just do not connect micro-switch terminals. Motor has been replaced and runs fine in agitate direction, but not in spin direction. Could it be the capacitor, even though it reads correct value on capacitance meter 250mfd ?

RESIDUE BUILDUP in the bleach dispenser may cause it to overflow and leak out from underneath the washer. POUR HOT WATER into the bleach dispenser to clean it out and run CLEAN WASHER CYCLE. Try this first.

You are correct about the other possible issue, which is high water pressure. If your water pressure is too high (recommended to be between 14.5-116 psi), you may have overfilling in the bleach dispenser. If the dispenser is clean and has no damage to the dispenser hose, your water pressure is probably too high. (You can see what it looks like at the link below). There is no separate pressure controller.

You could also check the inlet hoses to see if there are any kinks, if the rubber seals are missing, if or screens have debris. You can find directions for that on page 9 of your owners manual: searspartsdirect.com/manual/2gpz2eaxe3-000583/kenmore-elite-79631523211-washer-parts

If the refrigerator isn't cold enough, first check whether containers are blocking airflow at the vents; the owner's manual usually shows where the vents are. Your refrigerator also might seem warmer than usual for a day if you’ve just added a lot of food—wait 24 hours after adding lots of food to see if the refrigerator cools properly.

High temperatures are also a sign of a control system problem, a failure in the air control damper, low refrigerant charge and other malfunctions. Watch the troubleshooting videos below for more tips: searspartsdirect.com/diy/symptom/refrigerator-repair/1234589/not-cooling-well/rfr0099

Are you referring to a light on the control panel indicator light for ice? Which one? Is the ice maker making ice? Try a hard reset by unplugging the refrigerator for 5 minutes. Does it go away?

If this is the Ice Off icon, that would indicate the ice bin is not properly installed.
