Refrigerator Leaking Water
If your Kitchen Aid 5-door refrigerator, Kitchen Aid bottom freezer refrigerator, Kitchen Aid French Door with bottom freezer refrigerator or Kitchen Aid side by side refrigerator is leaking water, a clogged or frozen defrost drain could be to blame. Water from the frozen over defrost drain accumulates causing the drain pan to overflow. This water then drips to the refrigerator’s bottom compartment and will eventually leak out onto the floor. Remove the refrigerator’s rear panel and allow the ice to thaw from the clogged drain. Be sure to make sure the drain in free from obstruction by applying plenty of hot water with a turkey baster. Another source of a leaking refrigerator could be a defective water tank assembly. Observe the water tank assembly and try to determine if there is a visible leak. This tank can only hold water at a very low pressure, so it might be especially hard to identify the leak. If there is a leak the entire water tank assembly needs to be replaced. If you are unable to indentify a leak, check the water inlet valve for visible cracks. If you have good water pressure but the water inlet valve does not shut off easily, it is in your best interest to replace the water inlet valve. Other sources of a leaking refrigerator can include the water filter housing, water filter head, drain pan or a faulty water filter. If you are having trouble indentifying the source of the leak, consult an appliance repair technician familiar with Kitchen Aid appliance parts.
Iced Over Food
It can be such a nuisance when your refrigerator ices your food over. The Preserva Food Care System and ExtendFresh Temperature Management System are designed to keep your food fresh and at the optimal temperature. If your food is iced over, check the temperature control thermostat. Rotate the temperature control knob from side to side and listen for a click. If you do not hear a click, remove the thermostat to check for continuity. Check the thermistor. The thermistor monitors the temperature and is connected to the control board. A defective thermistor will result in food that is either too warm or too cold. The culprit could also be the temperature control board, main control board, damper control assembler or damper.
