KitchenAid KFCO22EV Refrigerator Temperature Repair
A KFCO22EV that never seems to settle on a temperature is usually dealing with sensing that has drifted out of calibration as the years pass. The model is also sold as the KFCO22EVBL, and it has been through several rating-plate revisions, so we read the plate before ordering parts. We compare the cabinet against a reference thermometer to see how far off the readings are.
Where the refrigerator is connected to water, we test the valve, the line and the filter housing for seepage, because the drip rarely announces itself. Water damage under a cabinet is far more costly than the repair that would have prevented it.
If you hear a click every few minutes and no cooling follows, the start relay is a prime suspect and the compressor probably is not. A unit that runs but ignores the panel gets its control board examined. We state the price in writing before work begins, and a 30-day workmanship warranty covers what we do.
Temperature sensing that has drifted gives the control bad information. We measure the real temperature, compare it with what the control reads, and replace the sensor or the board that is off.
This model has gone through several plate revisions, and parts can differ between them. Reading the plate lets us order the correct part the first time rather than make a second trip.
We test the start relay and overload protector, which are the usual reasons for clicking without running. The compressor is evaluated only if both of those check out.
