KSCS25MV

Most common issues on this model

1. Bulb and switch problems that can look like something bigger
2. Cracked door bins and shelf trim, normal wear at this age
3. Stiff door seal leaking room air at one edge, often with frost or sweat showing there
4. Control that misjudges the cabinet temperature, so the compressor cycles too long or too briefly

When the KSCS25MV seems to have a cooling issue, we first rule out the lights and the door switch. This discontinued KitchenAid refrigerator, also sold as the KSCS25MVMK, can look broken when only a bulb has gone, so we test the lamp and the switch before assuming anything about the cooling side.

Then we check wear that is plain to see. Cracked door bins and shelf trim are normal on a cabinet this age and do not affect cooling. A door seal that has gone stiff does, because it lets warm room air track in along one edge and makes the compressor work longer. The last stop is the control, which sometimes reads the cabinet wrongly and leaves the compressor running far longer or far shorter than it should.

You get a written price before work begins, and a 30-day workmanship warranty afterward.
