KitchenAid KBLA22ER Refrigerator Repair Visit

KitchenAid refrigerator

Most common issues on this model

  1. Gasket gone rigid, leaving a gap the door cannot close
  2. Temperature sensor out of step with the real cabinet, so cycling never levels off
  3. Seepage from the inlet valve, tubing or filter housing when a water line is connected
  4. Overload and start relay clicking every few minutes while the cabinet stays warm

With a KBLA22ER, we begin at the door. After years of daily use the gasket stiffens and no longer grips the cabinet, so warm room air creeps in along one edge and the compressor works longer to compensate. A simple dollar-bill test around the frame tells us quickly where the seal has given up.

The same refrigerator is sold as the KBLA22ERSS. If yours is plumbed for water, we also check the inlet valve, the supply line and the filter housing for slow seepage, because a small drip behind the cabinet can go unnoticed for months.

When the cabinet cycles on and off without cooling, we test the sensing and the start relay. A written price comes before any work, and we back the repair with a 30-day workmanship warranty.

KBLA22ERKBLA22ER questions
How can I tell if the door seal on my KBLA22ER is worn out?

Close the door on a slip of paper at several points around the frame. If it slides out easily, the gasket is not sealing. We also look for condensation along that edge, then replace or reseat the seal.

My KBLA22ERSS keeps clicking but does not get cold. What do you check?

The click usually comes from the overload or start relay attempting to start the compressor and giving up. We test both, measure the compressor windings, and confirm the sensing is not calling for cooling at the wrong time.

Could a leak behind my KBLA22ER be from the water line?

Yes, if the refrigerator is plumbed for water. We inspect the line, its fittings, the inlet valve and the filter housing for dampness, tighten or replace what is weeping, and test for leaks before we leave.
