Phil for Model Number KSCS25FTMS02 My Kitchen Aid fridge {KSCS25FTMS02} started out like the others I read. in troubleshooting. Making strange noise and the refrigerator side was getting warm. So I did a thorough cleaning, check both fans they were not obstructed and seemed to be spinning free by hand. So I ordered the Condenser Motor Kit (AP4318657) replaced it. The noise went away. While I was working on it I went and changed the Defrost Thermostat (AP6017375) to make sure that wasn't it either. Now jumps right on: Compressor running, Condenser Fan running fine, freezer dropping temp. As expected, but fridge side temp not cooling down enough. Digital temp controls inside are accurate, verified with a different temp gauge. NOW WHAT? Big Mack
Answer Phil, you may want to test the air baffle WP2220377 to ensure that it is opening to allow airflow and you may want to check the air return vent for any clogs or blockages. If the damper does not open, or the air return is blocked up, this can prevent air circulation throughout the unit causing the refrigerator to not cool properly. If there is air coming from the baffle in the back when the freezer door is open, but not when the freezer door is closed, there is a blockage either in the evaporator section or with the air return. If air flow is not present at the baffle either way, then either the fan is not operating or the baffle is not opening. Read More... Answered by AppliancePartsPros.com | Tuesday, August 13, 2019
