KitchenAid KTLA19EM Refrigerator Repair Houston

KitchenAid refrigerator

Most common issues on this model

  1. Cracked shelves and bins that are better sourced early on a discontinued model
  2. A gasket baked hard by age that no longer holds the door against the frame
  3. A drifting temperature sensor that keeps the cabinet from settling
  4. Valve, line or filter housing seepage on cabinets hooked up to water

A KTLA19EM that is a few degrees off usually has one of two quiet problems. Either the gasket has hardened and the door no longer pulls tight, or the temperature sensor has drifted and the control is making decisions from bad information. The cabinet is also sold as KTLA19EMSS, and the rating plate may show KTLA19EMSS00.

To tell the two apart, we close a strip of paper in the door at several points around the seal and place our own thermometer inside to compare with the control’s reading. If the gasket passes and the reading is wrong, the sensor is the part to replace. If the cabinet is plumbed for water, we follow the line to the valve and filter housing and look for seepage.

Shelves and bins on a discontinued model are worth ordering before they are needed, so we note which pieces are cracked. You get the price in writing before the work starts, and our repair carries a 30-day workmanship warranty.

KTLA19EMKTLA19EM questions
How do I know if the door gasket on my KTLA19EM is bad?

Close a strip of paper in the door; if it slides out easily, the seal is weak. Visible cracks, a wavy edge, or moisture around the frame also indicate a gasket that needs replacing.

My KTLA19EM never reaches a steady temperature. Is it the thermostat?

It may be the sensor that tells the control the temperature. We measure the real cabinet temperature and compare it with the control's reading, and replace the sensor or board that disagrees.

Should I replace a cracked shelf in my KTLA19EM right away?

If the crack carries weight, yes, because it can fail and spill food or break glass. We can identify the shelf from the model number and tell you whether it is still available.
