KitchenAid KRFC136R Counter-Depth Repair

KitchenAid refrigerator

Most common issues on this model

  1. Interior water dispenser that slows or stops because of the filter, valve or a frozen line
  2. Warm fresh food section caused by a fan or defrost part
  3. French door gaskets that no longer meet at the center
  4. Ice or water leaks from the dispenser path or a clogged drain

Counter-depth design puts a KRFC136R nearly flush with the cabinets, and 36 inches of width gives two French doors above a freezer. Because the cabinet is shallow, it relies on its fans to circulate air, and the back space is tight enough that dust and heat build up. Labels reading KRFC136RPS or KRFC136RWH describe the same refrigerator.

The interior dispense is the feature that sets it apart. Water is delivered inside the fresh food section, so a slow pour usually traces to the filter, the valve or a line frozen at the bend. We check these before opening the freezer.

With 20 cubic feet to cool, we also test the evaporator fan, the defrost parts and the center seam where the doors meet. You get a written price first, and repairs carry a 30-day workmanship warranty.

KRFC136RKRFC136R questions
The interior dispenser on my KRFC136R pours slowly. What do you check?

We start with the filter, then test the water valve and look for a frozen or kinked line. A restricted filter or a frozen line is the most frequent cause of a slow pour.

Why does my counter-depth KRFC136R run warm near the back?

A shallow cabinet has little room behind it, so heat from the condenser lingers. We clean the coil, test the fan, and check that the unit has the clearance it needs.

The French doors on my KRFC136R do not meet evenly. Does it matter?

Yes. A gap at the center seam lets warm air in. We adjust the doors, check the hinges, and replace the gasket if it has lost its shape.
