KitchenAid Not Cooling / Warm Fridge — What It Means
What not cooling / warm fridge means, common causes, and whether it's something you can check yourself before calling for service.
Likely Causes
Dirty or blocked condenser coils
The compressor overheats compensating for restricted airflow and eventually shuts itself down as a protective measure.
A worn or torn door gasket
Lets a steady trickle of warm, humid air into the cabinet that the compressor can never fully counteract.
A failed evaporator or condenser fan motor
The compressor runs fine, but without airflow moving cold air through the cabinet, the interior temperature climbs anyway.
