KitchenAid KBRA20EM Refrigerator Repair

For a KBRA20EM that is slowly losing cooling despite clean coils and working fans, we move to the sealed system. A loss of refrigerant charge is the one problem that decides whether an older cabinet is worth keeping, so we test it carefully and report back with the facts rather than guesses.
The refrigerator is also sold as the KBRA20EMBL and the KBRA20EMSS. Before the sealed system, we rule out the cheaper things: a defrost drain frozen solid, which spills meltwater under the crisper drawers, and an ice maker that has stopped filling or releasing.
Last we check the lamp and the door switch. A written price comes before any repair starts, and what we do is covered by our 30-day workmanship warranty.
We first rule out airflow, fans, defrost and starting parts. If the circuit has lost charge, we tell you what repair involves and how the cabinet looks otherwise, then you decide.
Meltwater that cannot flow away turns to ice in the drain, often because the line is partly blocked or the defrost heat does not reach it. We thaw the line and test the defrost system.
Sometimes. If it does not, the door switch or the socket is the likely cause. We test all three, so the light works and the control reads the door state correctly.
