KitchenAid KTRS19KM Refrigerator Repair Houston
Lettuce frozen solid on the top shelf of a KTRS19KM, or milk that never quite chills, is usually down to the cold control or thermistor having drifted. This discontinued refrigerator, also sold as KTRS19KMSS, relies on that reading to decide when the compressor runs, so a small error is amplified into a big temperature swing.
We measure the actual temperature, compare it with the setting, and test the sensor’s resistance. We then check behind the cabinet for a slow puddle at the inlet valve, a drip that stays hidden for months. If the compressor will not start, the relay is tested before anything bigger is blamed, and the control board is checked last, along with confirmation that one can still be obtained.
Our price is in writing before the work starts, and the 30-day workmanship warranty covers the repair.
A cold control or thermistor that reads warm keeps the compressor running too long. We measure the real temperature, test the sensor, and replace it so the cabinet cycles at the setting you chose.
Look for a damp patch on the floor behind the cabinet, or a drip on the valve body. We inspect the valve and its fittings, replace the valve if worn, and dry the surrounding floor.
The start relay is the first suspect because it is small and wears out. We test it and the overload with a meter, then read the windings to make sure the compressor itself is sound.
