Most common issues on this model

  1. Dripping at the inlet valve or supply line on cabinets with a water feed
  2. A tired start device that hums briefly and trips on overload
  3. A control board near the end of its life, the part to confirm first
  4. A freezer fan growing noisy or stalling while the freezer stays cold

Three full numbers share the working parts of the KTRS22EL: KTRS22ELBL, KTRS22ELSS and KTRS22ELWH. Where a water line is connected, we start at the inlet valve and its tubing, because a seep behind a cabinet that sits tight to the wall can run for months before anyone notices damp baseboards.

Once the water side is clear we turn to the compressor circuit. A short hum followed by silence points at a worn start device, which we test with a meter. The evaporator fan, which gives itself away with a whine or a warm fresh food side, is the third check, and the control board is the fourth. We look at availability of the board early, since it is the part that most often limits the repair on a discontinued model.

The price is put in writing before we start, and every repair carries a 30-day workmanship warranty.

KTRS22ELKTRS22EL questions
How do I find where my KTRS22EL is leaking?

Check the floor behind the cabinet, the supply line, and the valve body for dampness. We inspect each connection, replace the leaking part, and make sure the floor beneath has dried.

What happens when the start device in a KTRS22EL fails?

The compressor hums, cannot start, and the overload trips. The cabinet warms until the relay is replaced. We test the relay and overload and check the windings so no good part is replaced.

Why would a KTRS22EL freezer stay cold while the fridge warms?

The evaporator fan or the damper is not delivering air to the fresh food side. We test both and the fan's motor, then replace whichever is stuck.
