Mark, The most likely cause for this issue will be a damper that is stuck in the open position. The part number for the damper is WP67003903.

Ryan for Model Number KBLA22KRSS01

Hello, I have the bottom fridge model number KBLA22KRSS with the bottom freezer. For some reason the buttons on the control panel do not adjust when pressed. Not the freezer temp, fridge temp, or any of the others (max cool, door alarm etc). If I unplug the fridge and wait over 5 minutes and then plug in, it shows a higher temp on the panel for both fridge and freezer. It is staying cold but it is not making ice for the past couple days. Is this the control board or something else? Please let me know which part I should buy. Thank you!

T, You didn't mention an issue with the refrigerator, but in order to replace the WPW10207861 control/display board : first remove power to the refrigerator, 1. Remove light shield by sliding shield to rear to release cover. 2. Depress with a screw driver through two slots in the front of the light housing release tabs to release Control Board housing (these slots are on the back side of the control "box" near the top of the "box" along the ceiling) 3. Control Board housing will drop down exposing Control Board. 4. Unplug two wire harnesses plugged into the Control Board. 5. Release tabs holding Control Board to housing. The "machine control board" WP12782036SP is located inside the compressor compartment in the back of the refrigerator inside the plastic box beside the compressor.

JHM, The refrigerator portion of the unit should run 38 degrees plus or minus 3 degrees so the temperature in the refrigerator would be good. As far as not being able to change the temp, the most likely cause would be the keypad WPY67005640.
