Ice Maker and Door Switch Repair, KitchenAid KBFC42FT
A KBFC42FT, also sold as the KBFC42FTS, may carry a rating-plate revision from 00 to 08. All of those belong to the same base model and are serviced the same way.
Where an ice maker is fitted, we begin with its fill and harvest operation, since a slow tray or a partial harvest is the most frequent call. Then we check the lamp and door switch, look at shelves and bins that have cracked, and test the gasket for stiffness around the door. Replacement shelves and bins for older cabinets get scarcer each year, which is why we raise them at the first visit.
Because the refrigerator is discontinued, we confirm what parts can be supplied before quoting. The price is written first and a 30-day workmanship warranty backs the repair.
Usually the fill: a weak valve or partly frozen tube delivers too little water. We check the valve, the tube and the harvest cycle, then replace whichever part is limiting the batch.
The base model stays KBFC42FT, but we still want the whole number on the plate, since a few small parts follow the revision. A photo of the label before the visit is the quickest way to give it to us.
Sometimes. If a new bulb does not light, the door switch or socket is the next stop. We test the switch since it also tells the control when the door is open.
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.
