Completed a KitchenAid built-in refrigerator repair in San Marcos, CA after the customer reported that the refrigerator section stopped cooling while the freezer continued working.
After full diagnostics, our technicians found a failed defrost timer. Because the timer stopped entering the defrost cycle, the evaporator became heavily iced over, blocking airflow and preventing cold air from reaching the fresh food compartment.
Good news — our technicians had the correct KitchenAid defrost timer available during the visit, so there was no need to wait for parts. We replaced the faulty defrost timer, fully defrosted and cleaned the evaporator area, restored airflow, and tested the complete cooling operation.
Additional diagnostics included checking the evaporator fan motor, temperature regulation, air circulation channels, drain system, and overall refrigerator performance. We also adjusted cooling settings and verified stable temperatures before completing the repair.
The customer was surprised to see how much hidden ice had built up and was happy the refrigerator returned to normal operation the same day.
