Freezer not freezing Fridge works
For model number KCBM180FQYA
PartSelect logo
Hello Walter, thank you for contacting us. Please make sure the condenser coils are clean and there is no built-up ice on the evaporator coils. The issue can be related to a faulty door gasket, part number PS11766430, and a problematic freezer temperature control thermostat, part number PS12364234. We would also recommend checking the defrost thermostat, part number PS2350702, the defrost timer, part number PS12585793, and the defrost heater, part number PS426768. Customer service is available 7 days a week if you need help placing an order. Glad to be of assistance!

Temp alarm sounding and food on top shelves partially thawed
After silencing the alarm, it seemed to be running as normal without any unusual noises, but food was starting to thaw from the top shelf on down and condensation was dripping from the roof. We were able to place most of the food in 2 large ice chests and then the rest in the freezer compartments of 2 fridges we have in the house. I then turned down the temp dial to the coldest setting and let it run for an hour or so; no change.

After researching on the internet, it sounded like our symptoms could be pointing to a defrost timer issue. I pulled the freezer away from the wall, located the timer and used a large screwdriver to slowly advance it. While doing this, at one point I could hear the compressor kick in. I pushed the quick freeze button and let it run for a while. When I checked it in a few hours, the alarm light had gone out and water that I had placed inside was frozen. We took a chance and put the food we placed in the ice chests back in the freezer. Everything was fine several hours later.

I ordered a new defrost timer, it arrived in a couple of days, and replaced the old one with it in a matter of minutes by disconnecting the wire harness from the old timer, removing the 2 screws holding it onto the bracket, screwing the new timer to the bracket, reconnecting the wires harness, and done. It's been a week or so and no problems.
