KitchenAid KFFS20EY Door Seal Repair
On a KFFS20EY, also sold as the KFFS20EYBL and KFFS20EYMS, a gasket that has hardened is often mistaken for a bigger cooling problem. It no longer pulls the door tight, humid air enters, and the compressor runs far more than it should. A fix to the gasket often returns the cabinet to normal.
When one side of the cabinet runs warm while the other freezes, the cold-control sensor is our next stop. Sensing wanders with age, and we compare it against a reference thermometer so we know whether the sensor, the control or the airflow is to blame.
Models plumbed for water get their valve, supply line and filter housing inspected. A compressor that clicks every few minutes without running points to the start relay and overload, which we test before anything else. We read the plate revision, from KFFS20EYBL00 to KFFS20EYBL02, to order the right part. You see the price in writing first, and we back the repair with a 30-day workmanship warranty.
A cold-control sensor that has drifted is the usual reason. We compare its reading with a reference thermometer and replace the sensor or control that is giving the wrong picture.
Close the door on a strip of paper and tug it. If it slides out with little resistance, the seal is weak. Visible hardness or gaps along the edge confirm it.
Parts can vary between revisions, so we read the plate before ordering. It helps us bring the correct sensor, valve or relay and finish the repair without a return trip.
