KitchenAid KTLA19EL Refrigerator Service
The KTLA19EL, also sold as KTLA19ELSS, is a discontinued refrigerator that tends to live in a kitchen alcove, a garage or a utility room. Those are the places where small leaks go unnoticed, so our visit starts with a look on the floor behind the cabinet for dampness around the inlet valve.
Next we test the start relay, since a dead relay mimics a dead compressor. If the cabinet runs but ignores its settings, the control board is the part to check, and we confirm that a replacement can still be found before quoting. A whine or rattle from the back of the freezer sends us to the evaporator fan.
We write down the price before doing any work, and every repair we make is covered by our 30-day workmanship warranty.
A weeping inlet valve is the likeliest source. It drips slowly even when the cabinet is idle. We check the valve and its fittings, replace the valve if it is worn, and dry the area so the floor is protected.
Fans running without cooling suggests the compressor is not starting. We test the start relay and overload first, then the compressor windings. Often a relay is the only part that needs replacing.
Many wear parts such as fans, relays, valves and gaskets remain available. We check the model number on your rating plate before quoting and tell you if a specific part can no longer be sourced.
