KitchenAid KBFS20ET

Model # KBFS20ET

Call (844) 405-1464 Schedule a Visit

The KBFS20ET is one of the KitchenAid refrigerators. It appears on KitchenAid’s US product site in May 2012 and nowhere after that. That dates the machine to around then: discontinued, and now about a decade into service. No published specification for this model was recovered. Rather than fill the gap with a figure borrowed from a similar-looking number, this page says only what the sources actually carry.

A cabinet of this vintage is past the point where the door seal, the evaporator fan and the defrost components are as-new, and those account for most of what a KBFS20ET is called out for. Since the model is discontinued, we settle what can still be supplied for it before the work is quoted.

Key Features

Most Common Issues on This Model

03

Broken crisper runners and door bin lugs - cosmetic, but worth sourcing while parts last

FAQ

KitchenAid KBFS20ET FAQ

Inside the refrigerator, on the left wall is where KitchenAid says the label is, and that holds for the KBFS20ET. The adhesive label there gives model and serial. Copying the KBFS20ET string character by character is worth the extra minute, since one letter separates several different cabinets.

The KBFS20ET is discontinued and has been for some years, so the honest answer depends on the part. We establish what is actually available for a KBFS20ET before any work is quoted, rather than diagnosing first and discovering afterwards that nothing can be supplied.

With the refrigerator switched off at its supply, brushing and vacuuming the condenser coils on a KBFS20ET is reasonable owner maintenance and occasionally clears a poor-cooling complaint on its own. If the KBFS20ET has not recovered its temperature within a day of that, the fault lies elsewhere and is worth looking at properly.
