Noisy Fan in a KitchenAid KBFS20EV Refrigerator
A whine that climbs in pitch, or a rattle that changes when you hold the door shut, is the usual sign of a failing evaporator fan in a KBFS20EV. This discontinued model, also sold as the KBFS20EVMS, has been in homes long enough that bearing wear is common.
We find which fan is making the noise, since the condenser fan can also seize or slow and show up first as weak cooling in warm weather. Hinges and closers are inspected, because a door that sits proud no longer swings shut, and the drain tube is checked for silt that would send water into the cabinet.
Our price is written before work, and a 30-day workmanship warranty covers the repair.
Closing the door changes airflow pressure, which suggests a loose or failing evaporator fan blade. We inspect the fan, and replace the motor or blade if it is worn.
The base model stays KBFS20EV, but a few small parts differ by revision. Read us the whole number on your plate so we bring the right ones.
Hinge and closer wear is the usual cause. We replace the worn pieces so the door swings shut and the gasket seals along the full frame.
