KitchenAid KTRC19EL Refrigerator Service Call
A damp spot behind the KTRC19EL is easy to miss, because the cabinet sits flat to the wall and the supply line is hidden. The refrigerator was sold as KTRC19ELSS and KTRC19ELWH, and where a water feed is connected, the inlet valve and its fittings are the first parts we examine. A small drip over many months can ruin a wood floor.
After the water side, we listen to the compressor start. A short hum followed by a click points to the start device. We then check the evaporator fan and the control board. Because this model is discontinued, we confirm that a board is still obtainable before recommending its replacement, and we explain what we found in plain words.
The price is put in writing before we start, and every repair is backed by our 30-day workmanship warranty.
Slide a dry paper towel along the floor behind the cabinet and under the supply fitting; any dampness shows at once. We also check the inlet valve and tubing connections, which are the usual places a drip starts.
The compressor circuit is the suspect. We test the start relay, overload and compressor windings with a meter. A failed relay alone is common and quick to replace, while a failed compressor is a larger decision we explain first.
It can be, since the model is discontinued. We check availability for your exact number before quoting, and if the board cannot be found, we tell you so before you commit to any other work.
Book in about a minute, or call the desk. Same-day windows inside the Loop on most days, next-day across the rest of Houston.
