KitchenAid KBFS25ET

Model # KBFS25ET

The KBFS25ET is a KitchenAid refrigerator. 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. What survives is the model number and a dated record of when KitchenAid was showing it, and that is what is set out here.

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 KBFS25ET is called out for. Since the model is discontinued, we settle what can still be supplied for it before the work is quoted.

Loss of refrigerant charge, the fault that decides whether an old cabinet is worth keeping

FAQ

KitchenAid KBFS25ET FAQ

Inside the refrigerator, on the left wall is where KitchenAid says the label is, and that holds for the KBFS25ET. The adhesive label there gives model and serial. Copying the KBFS25ET string character by character is worth the extra minute, since one letter separates several different cabinets.

The KBFS25ET is discontinued, but age alone does not decide it. Most of what fails on a KBFS25ET is a wear component priced in tens of dollars rather than hundreds, and those repairs stay worthwhile. The exception is the sealed system, where the cost sits close to what the cabinet is worth, and we check the parts position before quoting either way.

With the refrigerator switched off at its supply, leaving the KBFS25ET propped open to the air is sensible if it is no longer holding temperature, because a closed cabinet that is not cooling grows mould quickly. Food safety comes first on a KBFS25ET as on anything else, and anything that has sat above a safe temperature for hours should go in the bin.
