<title><![CDATA[KitchenAid Refrigerator: LED lights flicker and sometimes all power momentarily drop]]></title>
<description><![CDATA[<p>Fridge is a KitchenAid KRBR109ESS00 (whirlpool). The LED light are screw-in so there’s no separate driver board. Instead, the door switch applies 120 Vac. sometimes the lights (there are 2 bulbs) flicker, but occasionally they go out completely and in concert with this the 7 segment displays showing temp settings also blank out and other fridge items (like the fan) stop as well if they’re running. This only lasts for a couple of seconds and then power returns. I’ve replaced the Jazz control board as well as the wiring harness running to the board, LED light and door switch (one assembly). But the problem persists. Any ideas as what could be causing this?</p>

<title><![CDATA[KitchenAid Refrigerator: Kitchenaid ice maker does not work]]></title>
<description><![CDATA[<p>Hello, I have a 2015 Kitchenaid french door bottom freezer refrigerator. Water inside the door, ice maker in the freezer. Model KRFF202ESS00 S/N K51819876. The ice maker stopped making ice. I noticed the door water (we don’t use this feature) volume was low so replaced the filter and corrected that problem, but still no ice. The ice maker appears to be going through the motions, but no water is getting into the ice maker. Checked the turn on valve - no leaks, water is on. There is no water in the tube in the back of fridge. Looking for ideas to avoid the repair cost. Thanks</p>

<title><![CDATA[KitchenAid Refrigerator KRFF507H  0: Why is the starting relay on main control board clicking on and off?]]></title>
<description><![CDATA[<p>I thought maybe the main control board had failed, so I replaced it to no avail. I can't even get into diagnostic mode because the main control board just keep 'clicking,' dropping power out to the entire fridge, despite constant 120v @ inlet of main control board. So when I plug it in and open the doors, the lights flash on, then off, at about 1 second intervals. What is dropping main power to main control board???</p>

<title><![CDATA[KitchenAid Refrigerator: Chirping/Grinding Noise | KBFS20EVMS13 KitchenAid Refrigerator]]></title>
<description><![CDATA[<p><strong>KBFS20EVMS13 KitchenAid Refrigerator</strong></p>

<p>We inherited the subject fridge when we moved a few months ago. We suspect it is original to this 2013 build house.</p>

<p>In recent weeks, it has been chirping approximately every 13 seconds like a low battery signal in a smoke alarm. The noise appears to come from the top center; we have placed our ear on the back panel to nail down the location.</p>

<ul><li>When we disconnected the fridge a few weeks ago (for about half an hour), the chirping restarted when power was reset.</li><li>We repeated this exercise yesterday (though for less time), and the chirping stopped.</li><li>However, after a short period, there is now a grinding noise from the same location instead.</li><li>At this point, we were opening and closing the fridge quite a bit as we prepared a meal.</li><li>We also decided to turn off the water supply at the same time.</li><li>Since the meal and switching off the water, there is no noise.</li></ul>

<p>Our research indicates that potential faulty components include the condenser fan, evaporator fan, and/or air damper control assembly. For this model, both fans look like they are at bottom rear behind the freezer, so do not mesh with the noise emanating from top center. This then suggests the damper control and/or damper itself is the culprit.</p>

<p>Clearly, something isn’t right, but where do we go from here? The noise has still not returned, but then perhaps the suspect part is now completely defunct? How should we conclude the diagnostics? Which parts should we be replacing?</p>

<p>Thank you</p>

<title><![CDATA[KitchenAid Refrigerator: KitchenAid Fridge and Freezer Running Warm]]></title>
<description><![CDATA[<p>My fridge is a KitchenAid 5 Door KRMF706ESS. Basically both the fridge section and the freezer section are running a bit warm. I have the fridge set to 37F and the freezer to 0F and it is in a ~77F environment. The ice maker in the fridge section is cold enough to freeze ice, but not cold enough to harvest it. (I read that it has to reach 16F to dispense the ice into the bin.) I ran a manual ice harvest using the Technician’s codes and all the components seem to be working properly. The freezer is also cold enough to keep things frozen, but ice cream is soft. I made sure the condenser coils were clear of debris, and both evaporator fans are running. The evaporator coils are not iced over. I initially repaired a faulty seal on the fridge door, but that has not solved my issue. My only other thought is possibly a low refrigerant level, but the compressor sounds normal (although it is hot to the touch) and the condenser coils are warm indicating what I assume to be proper refrigerant flow. Condenser fan is also working properly.</p>

<p>Any help would be so appreciated! This issue is driving me insane. Thank you!</p>

<title><![CDATA[KitchenAid Refrigerator: Refrigerator is warm but freezer works fine]]></title>
<description><![CDATA[<p>Hello, <br /><br />The model of my fridge is KFIS27CXMS2, it has a refrigerator part at the top and a freezer at the bottom. The freezer works fine, but the refrigerator started to have cooling issues. The refrigerator gets warm and no cold air is flowing from the holes at the top. <br /><br />I cleaned the back filter/coils and the front one. But it did not solve the issue. If I unplug and wait 5-10 minutes and re-plug the fridge, it solves the issue temporarily for 1-2 days, but then the top part stops cooling again. It's been like this for a couple of weeks now.<br /></p>

<p>Also, water is leaking from the bottom of the freezer (I need to clean the ice buildup from the bottom every week). But this issue has been there for over 4 years. I am not sure if it is related to my recent cooling problem. <br /></p>

<p>Do you think replacing the drain tube will solve both of my problems? Or does the cooling problem require more series repair?<br /><br />Thank you!</p>

<title><![CDATA[KitchenAid Refrigerator: Not cooling... AND ITS BACK!]]></title>
<description><![CDATA[<p>I have Kitchenaid refrigerator KBRA22ERSS01.</p>

<p>The other night it started making a consistent running noise and in the morning was warm and the temp was increasing quickly.</p>

<p>I used a long brush to clean underneath which was a MESS. A repairperson came to check it and said it was dead and recommended a new one. Its only 10 years old.</p>

<p>We plugged it back in, moved the freezer contents to our chest freezer, and put some ice in there to keep the fridge cool (circulating).</p>

<p>Here's where the story gets odd: 24 hours later the temp dropped again! And is now back to normal 48 hours later.</p>

<p>Will this last (the repair place I called in confusion says no)?</p>

<p>We have ordered a new one but if this one is BACK TO LIFE that would be great!</p>

<description><![CDATA[<p>My model refrigerator is kitchenaid KFIV29PCMS02. It started with ice maker not working properly. Watery ice. Then the freezer started icing and freezing up to the motor fan inside the freezer and making noise cause the ice was reaching the fan. Defrosted a couple times and now the freezer isn’t getting cold enough to freeze anything. It’s cool and the refrigerator is cool but freezer is not freezing. I replaced the defrost thermostat. Should I replace the compressor inverter board next? It’s frosting up only on the right side.</p>

<title><![CDATA[KitchenAid Refrigerator: Refrigerator is freezing food. - RESOLVED]]></title>
<description><![CDATA[<p>My KitchenAid (Whirlpool) refrigerator model KRFC300ess01 temperature is too cold in the fresh food section but the freezer is normal. Changing the temperature setting makes no difference. Here are the things I have tried: 1. Cleaned the condenser coils. 2. Checked to make sure damper door opens and closes. 3. Replaced refrigerator thermastor. 4. Replaced user control interface panel. 5. Replaced refrigerator main control panel. When I replaced the main control panel, the refrigerator did the opposite and was too warm. I finally called a repair person who came in and replaced the damper door (even though I told him that I really didn't think that was the problem). When that didn't help he said that he could no longer help me because I had tried to fix the fridge myself and it was, therefore, &quot;tampered with.&quot; Everything seems to be working except its ability to control the temperature and I really don't want to have to replace it!</p>

<div class="clearer"></div><div class="headerContainer"><h3 id="Section_Update_11_05_Num_23" class="header">Update (11/05/23)</h3></div>

<p>Just in case anyone encounters a similar problem, I thought I would mention that I figured it out and fixed the fridge. When the fridge was freezing food, the first thing I tried was replacing the thermistor, which did not fix the problem. I then tried replacing the user interface control panel and then the main control panel along with checking all the other common culprits but none of it worked. I started at the beginning and pulled out the thermistor I had put in and checked its resistance, which was way off where it was supposed to be (reading 10K and was supposed to read 28K) so either the new one I got was bad or it was the wrong one. I put the original thermistor back in and them put the new main control panel back in and it worked! Problem was a faulted main control panel all along.</p>

I've changed the defrost timer and it is still doing the exact same thing.  Now I have ice building up every 2-4 days and no lights.  If it's not the timer, what else could it be?</p>

<p><a href="https://www.ifixit.com/User/1361892/jayeff" target="_blank">@jayeff</a>  I did hire a service tech and he's been here 5x in the last 2 months and still cannot fix it.  The last time he was here, he took out the defrost timer and put in some sort of loop to make the light and icemaker work, which obviously causes the ice to build up. I have since put back the defrost timer and we're back to square one.  What I can't figure out is where do the two wires in the front go (the brown and pink wires coming from the defrost timer connection)?</p>

<description><![CDATA[<p>The freezer stays at a constant 14 degrees F.  No ice buildup, vents not blocked, ice maker works fine, and the refrigerator temperature is at a constant 37 degrees F.</p>

<div class="clearer"></div><div class="headerContainer"><h3 id="Section_Update_09_17_Num_23" class="header">Update (09/17/23)</h3></div>

<p>We placed thermometers in fridge and freezer to ck the temperatures.  Verified 37 for fridge and 14 for the freezer.  Model #KBRC36FMS00.</p>
