Most common issues on this model

  1. Silted defrost drain tube
  2. Defrost parts leaving frosted evaporator
  3. Ice maker not ejecting cubes
  4. Sealed-system leak or restriction

Water in the wrong place is the starting point for many KSSC48FK visits. A drain tube silts up with debris, and the meltwater from the defrost cycle finds another route, usually onto shelves or the floor. We clean the tube, run water through it, and make sure the pan is dry.

A drain that clogs again usually means the evaporator is frosting more than it should, and that leads us into the defrost parts: the heater, the thermostat and the timer. Left alone, those problems pack the coil with frost and the cabinet slowly warms. The ice maker is tested next, since a fill that never ejects can have a separate cause.

A sealed-system problem is something we identify plainly and explain, not repair around. KSSC48FKS on your label is the same model. We give you the price in writing before we start, and our workmanship warranty runs 30 days.

KSSC48FKKSSC48FK questions
Where does the water from the defrost cycle normally go?

It runs down a drain tube to a pan where it evaporates. When debris silts the tube, the water backs up and escapes inside the cabinet or onto the floor.

Can the ice maker be tested without removing it?

Yes. We run a harvest cycle in place and watch the heater, the mold and the ejector. If the bin has frozen solid, we thaw it first and then observe the cycle.

What does a plain finding on the sealed system mean?

We confirm a refrigerant leak or restriction with measurements, state what a repair involves and its price in writing, and let you decide with the cabinet's condition in mind.
