KitchenAid KTRC22EM Refrigerator Service Call

KitchenAid refrigerator

Most common issues on this model

  1. A plugged defrost drain, with water under the crispers or spreading onto the floor
  2. Refrigerant loss, which determines whether an aging cabinet should be repaired
  3. A drain that freezes shut and sends melt into the fresh food drawers
  4. Ice maker trouble filling or releasing cubes on cabinets with one

Revision codes tell part of the story of the KTRC22EM: rating plates have been seen with KTRC22EMBL00, KTRC22EMBL01, KTRC22EMBL03 and KTRC22EMBL04. The cabinet is also sold as KTRC22EMBL and KTRC22EMSS. Whichever one you have, a pool under the crispers is nearly always a drain problem, and we treat it as one before looking at anything else.

We flush the drain at the back of the freezer, check the pan, and test whether the defrost heater is keeping the line from freezing. After that we look at the ice maker, since a frozen fill tube or a bin of fused cubes shares the same causes. Only if the evaporator is clean, the drain is open and the cabinet still runs warm do we look at refrigerant loss and explain what we see.

The price is in writing before we start, and our repairs carry a 30-day workmanship warranty.

KTRC22EMKTRC22EM questions
Does the revision code on my KTRC22EM rating plate matter?

It helps us order exact parts, because small changes can differ between revisions. Please read us the whole plate, including the letters and digits at the end, when you call.

My KTRC22EM drain keeps freezing. Why?

A defrost heater that is weak or open leaves the drain cold enough to refreeze. We thaw it, test the heater and thermostat, and replace whichever has failed so the line stays open.

What does fused ice in a KTRC22EM bin mean?

The freezer is warmer than it should be, or the harvest cycle is leaving cubes wet. We clear the bin, check the freezer temperature and the ice maker heater, and fix the cause so it does not recur.
