KitchenAid KRBL102E Bottom-Mount Refrigerator Repair

KitchenAid refrigerator

Most common issues on this model

  1. Warm fresh food section from a fan or airflow problem
  2. Door gasket wear that lets room air in
  3. Water under the crispers from a clogged defrost drain
  4. Frost in the bottom freezer from defrost trouble

The KRBL102E is a 33-inch bottom mount, usually found standing in a kitchen with the freezer drawer at the base. A label reading KRBL102ESS means the same cabinet. With the freezer low, cold air has to travel up to the fresh food section, so a slow fan or an iced coil shows up as a warm upper compartment.

We check the evaporator for frost, test the fan, and inspect the drain beneath the crispers. A gasket that has gone stiff is another common finding, since the door opens many times a day. Before we leave, we also vacuum the coil area at the base and watch a full cooling cycle, so you know the temperatures are holding.

We give a written price before work and back repairs with a 30-day workmanship warranty.

KRBL102EKRBL102E questions
Why is the top of my KRBL102E warm when the freezer drawer is cold?

Cold air must be moved up from the freezer coil, so a slow fan or frost on the coil limits it. We open the access panel, check the frost, and test the fan.

Water appears under the crispers in my KRBL102E. What is the cause?

Usually a clogged defrost drain. We flush it, check the heater that keeps it clear, and run the unit to confirm the water leaves the cabinet.

How do you test the door seal on a KRBL102E?

We run a paper strip around the closed door and feel for resistance when pulling it out. Any spot where it slides freely shows where the gasket needs work.
