KitchenAid’s Preserva Food Care System cools the fresh-food and freezer compartments with two independent evaporators instead of one shared coil, which is why a refrigerator can run warm on one side while the other holds temperature normally — the fault is usually isolated to whichever side stopped performing. Models with a FlexZone convertible drawer add a third variable: its own damper and sensor pair let that drawer swing between fresh-food and freezer temperatures, and either one can drift or fail independently of the main compartments.
Our technicians test each evaporator, fan, and sensor separately rather than assuming a single shared cause, and carry the fan motors, sensors, and control boards that fail most often on KitchenAid refrigeration so most calls close out in one visit.
Common Refrigerator Problems
Refrigerator side running warm while the freezer still holds temperature (or the reverse)
Frost building up along the back wall or floor of the freezer
FlexZone drawer not matching the temperature it's set to
Water pooling underneath the crisper bins
A new buzzing, clicking, or cycling noise from behind the unit
In-door ice or water dispenser slowing down or stopping
