Most common issues on this model

  1. Ice maker trouble at the fill or the harvest, on units with an ice maker
  2. Burned-out lamp or a door switch that stopped reporting the door
  3. Broken shelves and door bins on a model no longer produced
  4. A gasket so stiff the door no longer pulls against the cabinet

A KBLS20ET with an ice maker either fills the mold and releases cubes, or it does not, and we start by watching which half of the cycle breaks down. A mold that stays empty points to water; a mold that is full but stuck points to the heater or the ejector.

The KBLS20ETSS is the same refrigerator, with rating-plate revisions we see running 00, 01 and 11. If the interior goes dark, we test the door switch as well as the lamp, since the switch also tells the control when the door is shut.

Shelves and bins that crack or break are best sourced while parts remain, so we check availability on the spot. The door seal comes last: if it has stiffened, we replace it. You get a written price first and a 30-day workmanship warranty on our work.

KBLS20ETKBLS20ET questions
My KBLS20ET ice maker does not drop cubes. What do you check?

We look at the mold heater, the ejector arm and its motor, and whether cubes have frozen fast to the mold. If water fills but nothing releases, the heater or the control is the usual cause.

Why is the light off in my KBLS20ETSS even after a new bulb?

The door switch or its wiring is a probable cause. We test the switch, the connector and the lamp socket, so the light works and the control gets a correct reading of the door.

Which shelf or bin parts are hardest to find for a KBLS20ET?

Door bins and crisper runners tend to be the scarce ones on a discontinued refrigerator. If you give us the full number, we check what we can obtain before we schedule the visit.
