KitchenAid KBSN602E Refrigerator Diagnosis

KitchenAid refrigerator

Most common issues on this model

  1. Control misreading the cabinet temperature, so the compressor runs far too long or too little
  2. Inlet valve or supply line leaks, on units plumbed for water
  3. Start device failure that makes the compressor hum and trip on overload
  4. Control board past its service life; part availability is the first thing to check

A KBSN602E can be found under three finish suffixes: KBSN602EPA, KBSN602ESS and the base number. When one of these runs far longer than it should, or shuts off too early, the temperature control may be misreading the cabinet. We compare what the control believes with what a reference thermometer shows, which settles the question quickly.

Units connected to a water line deserve a look behind and beneath the cabinet. A valve or tube that seeps will not announce itself, but the floor will show it eventually, so we check the connections while the refrigerator is pulled forward.

A compressor that hums and then stops is typically a start device that has given up and an overload protector doing its job. If the cabinet ignores its settings entirely, the control board may be the cause, and on a discontinued model we verify that the board can be had before we quote. You will see the price in writing first, and the repair is covered by our 30-day workmanship warranty.

KBSN602EKBSN602E questions
My KBSN602EPA runs nonstop but is barely cold. Is the control wrong?

It can be. A control that misreads temperature keeps the compressor running or stops it early. We measure the real cabinet temperature and compare it with the control, and also check the gasket and condenser airflow.

Is a water leak behind my KBSN602E coming from the sealed system?

Almost never. Water leaks usually come from the inlet valve or the supply tubing. We inspect both, replace the weeping part and run water through the line before we push the unit back.

What happens if the control board for my KBSN602ESS is no longer made?

We check whether a replacement can be obtained before quoting. If it cannot, we say so up front, which lets you decide on the cabinet's future before paying for any repair.
