KitchenAid KURS24LS Refrigerator Service
A KURS24LS that freezes the lettuce on the top shelf while the bottom runs warm is describing a sensing problem. The cold control or thermistor has drifted, so the cabinet misjudges its own temperature. We compare the sensor against a reference thermometer and check its resistance across a range, because a drifting sensor can pass a simple continuity test. The rating plate on the KURS24LSBS reads revision 03.
The inlet valve is the other thing we inspect. A slow weep hides behind the cabinet and ruins flooring before anyone sees it, so we dry the area and test the valve connections. If the cabinet is quiet and warm, the start relay comes next, ahead of the compressor.
A control board that no longer follows its settings is the last item on that list. We quote the work in writing before beginning, and the repair carries our 30-day workmanship warranty.
The cold control or thermistor has likely drifted, which makes the cabinet run colder than the dial says. We test the part against a thermometer and replace it if its readings are off.
Usually behind or under the cabinet, as a slow dampness that grows over days. Pulling the cabinet out lets us check the valve and fittings and dry the floor underneath.
The start relay. It can fail while the compressor itself is sound, so we test the relay and overload with a meter before condemning anything larger.
