KitchenAid KBFN502EPA

Model # KBFN502EPA

Call (844) 405-1464 Schedule a Visit

The KBFN502EPA is a US-market KitchenAid refrigerator. It was on KitchenAid’s US product site from March 2015 to September 2015 and gone after that. That places the machine inside that window: 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.

KitchenAid appends a two-digit production-revision code to the base number on the rating plate, and the codes actually observed for this model are KBFN502EPA00. A plate reading one of those is still a KBFN502EPA; the suffix identifies which production revision you have, and it occasionally decides which version of a part fits. 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 KBFN502EPA is called out for. Since the model is discontinued, we settle what can still be supplied for it before the work is quoted.

Door hinge and closer wear, so the door sits proud and no longer swings shut on its own

02

A drain tube silted up with debris, which puts water where it should not be

Sealed-system faults, which we identify plainly rather than repair around

04

Defrost faults - heater, thermostat or timer - leaving the evaporator packed with frost and the cabinet slowly warming

FAQ

KitchenAid KBFN502EPA FAQ

KitchenAid places the refrigerator plate inside the refrigerator, on the left wall, so that is where the KBFN502EPA label will be. It lists the model and the serial on the same silver sticker. Getting the KBFN502EPA number exactly right matters more on an older cabinet, where parts diverged between otherwise identical-looking siblings.

The KBFN502EPA is discontinued and has been for some years, so the honest answer depends on the part. We establish what is actually available for a KBFN502EPA 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, and the water line closed where one is fitted, a KBFN502EPA comes forward on its rollers once the front levelling feet are wound up clear of the floor. Taking the weight off those feet first is what prevents a scored floor and a strained door frame on a KBFN502EPA.
