KitchenAid KBLA20ER Refrigerator Service
The KBLA20ER, also listed as the KBLA20ERSS, is now an older refrigerator, and its electrical parts have had many cooling cycles behind them. When one of these calls us in, the first question is whether the compressor is trying to start. A click followed by silence usually points to the start relay rather than the compressor itself.
We also listen at the back of the freezer section and at the condenser. A rising whine from the evaporator fan, or a condenser fan that turns slowly, will leave the fresh food side warm even though the cabinet seems to be running.
If the cabinet is not following the temperature you set, we test the control board before replacing anything. We give you a written price first, and what we install is covered by our 30-day workmanship warranty.
A repeated click with no hum often means the start relay is no longer helping the compressor start. We test the relay and the overload with the cabinet unplugged, confirm the compressor windings are sound, and replace only what has failed.
Holding the door closed changes airflow and pressure inside the cabinet, which tells us the evaporator fan is rubbing or its bearing is wearing. We open the rear panel, free any ice, and check the blade and motor.
A condenser fan that has slowed cannot move enough air once the kitchen warms up. We test the motor, clean the coil, and confirm the fan runs at full speed, which usually restores steady cooling in summer heat.
