KitchenAid KBLS19KC Refrigerator Repair
If the compressor on your KBLS19KC runs nearly all the time, take a look at the condenser coil before assuming it is worn out. Dust and pet hair form an insulating blanket, and the compressor then runs longer and hotter than it was meant to. A thorough vacuuming often changes things at once.
This refrigerator, also sold as the KBLS19KCMS, can also develop sagging doors when the hinge cams wear. A door that drops slightly leaves a gap at the gasket, which brings in warm air and moisture and makes the cabinet work harder.
We also flush the drain at the back of the freezer floor, because a blocked one is an easy fix with big consequences for water on the floor. If everything else checks out and cooling is still poor, we test for a refrigerant loss. We quote in writing before starting and warrant our workmanship for 30 days.
A packed condenser is the usual reason, because the compressor cannot dump heat and keeps running. We clean the coil and fan area, then watch the cycle to confirm it settles.
The hinge cam or the hinge mounting has likely worn, letting the door drop. We measure the sag, replace the worn cam, and check that the gasket now meets the cabinet evenly all the way round.
Not usually. We access the drain at the back of the freezer floor, flush it with warm water, and confirm it empties into the pan. It is a routine job that prevents ice and puddles.
