Parts That Fix KitchenAid Refrigerator KBFA20ERSS01 Fridge too warm

This includes both the run capacitor and the start relay. The capacitor helps the compressor kick on and off while maintaining a constant temperature to keep things frozen in your freezer. The start relay boosts the compressor, and then shuts off as soon as the motor gets up to speed and the overload provides extra protection against excessive temperatures.

This defrost thermostat is a temperature sensing mechanism used in freezers and refrigerators. The thermostat senses the rise in evaporator temperature during a defrost cycle and turns the defrost heater off once frost is melted from the coils. If the freezer is not defrosting, or the freezer section is too warm, it is best to replace the thermostat to fix the problem. The tools needed for this project are: 1/4 inch nut driver, flat blade screwdriver, needle nose pliers, wire strippers, and pair of wire nuts. Remember to unplug your appliance from the power source for safety and refer to the manual provided by the manufacturer for installation instructions.

This part helps the compressor kick on and off while maintaining a constant temperature to keep things frozen in your freezer. If you are noticing temperature issues with your refrigerator or freezer, the run capacitor may need replacing. This repair is fairly easy to complete, and the only tools you will require are a 1/4 inch nut driver, and a 1/4 inch socket with a small ratchet. The run capacitor is located in the back of the fridge, so you will need to make sure you have room to work on this repair. Make sure to unplug the fridge prior to beginning the repair.

This is an evaporator fan motor, it is 115 volts and 60 hertz and it is for your refrigerator/freezer. You will need to replace this part if your appliance is too warm or getting noisy. This evaporator fan motor is located in the back of the freezer. This part circulates air over the refrigerator coils. These coils will convert the heat into cool air, which is then circulated throughout your appliance. To replace this part you will need a 1/4-inch nut driver and a pair of needle nose pliers.

This long harness thermistor kit is what helps monitor and regulate the temperature inside your refrigerator. It can be located in either the freezer compartment near the evaporator coils or in the fresh food compartment near the airflow channels, depending on the model. If you notice issues like excessive icing in the freezer, inadequate cooling in the refrigerator, temperature fluctuations, or error messages on the display panel, it indicates a potential problem with the thermistor. Since your fridge will not be able to maintain the desired temperature, this results in food spoilage, inefficient cooling, and potential damage to the cooling components. To replace the thermistor, disconnect it from the connector plug or wiring harness and remove any mounting brackets or clips using a screwdriver if necessary. Remember to consult your user manual to determine the required number of thermistors, as they are sold individually as OEM replacement parts.

If your refrigerator or freezer is too warm, or making noises, you may need to replace the fan blade. The fan blade attaches to the evaporator motor, which is in the freezer section, to help circulate the cold air into the refrigerator and freezer sections. The fan blade is white in color and made from plastic. This is a genuine OEM part. Please be sure to disconnect the power to your refrigerator before starting your repair.
