KitchenAid KSSO48FT Refrigerator Maintenance

KitchenAid refrigerator

Most common issues on this model

  1. Low refrigerant charge
  2. Frozen defrost drain, crisper water
  3. Ice maker fill, harvest trouble
  4. Dead lamp or door switch

If a KSSO48FT slowly stops cooling and the compressor runs without result, loss of refrigerant charge is a possibility we raise early, since it decides whether repairing an older cabinet is sensible. We confirm it with pressure readings, and we put what we find and what it costs in writing.

Cheaper trouble is more common. A defrost drain that freezes solid puts meltwater beneath the crisper drawers, and we thaw and clear it. Where an ice maker is fitted, the fill or harvest can fail, and we watch a full cycle. A burned-out lamp or a door switch that no longer reports a closed door is also checked early.

Because several of these problems look alike from the kitchen, we test in order and show you what we measured. KSSO48FTX on your label is the same model. The price comes first in writing, and we warrant repairs for 30 days.

KSSO48FTKSSO48FT questions
How do you know if the refrigerant charge is low?

We read the system pressures and temperatures, and look for oil staining at joints. Low charge means a leak, which we describe and price in writing before any decision.

Why do crisper drawers sit in water?

The defrost drain is probably frozen, so meltwater overflows into the drawers. We thaw it, clear the line, and look at the defrost parts to find out why it froze.

Does the ice maker get tested on every visit?

Only if your unit has one and the complaint involves ice. We then run a fill and a harvest, and check the supply valve and the fill tube for freezing.
