KitchenAid KFIL27CXMS

Model # KFIL27CXMS

The KFIL27CXMS belongs to KitchenAid’s US refrigerator catalogue. It appears on KitchenAid’s US product site in January 2015 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 — no capacity, no width, no feature list — so none is stated here, and no figure has been taken from a neighbouring model number.

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 KFIL27CXMS0, KFIL27CXMS1, KFIL27CXMS2, KFIL27CXMS3, KFIL27CXMS4, KFIL27CXMS5. A plate reading one of those is still a KFIL27CXMS; 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 KFIL27CXMS is called out for. Since the model is discontinued, we settle what can still be supplied for it before the work is quoted.

Most Common Issues on This Model

01

Drain blockage at the back of the freezer floor - a routine clear rather than a sealed-system job

02

Sealed-system problems - a refrigerant leak or a restriction - the one fault worth weighing carefully against the value of the cabinet

03

A defrost cycle that has stopped running, so ice builds behind the freezer back panel until airflow chokes

04

Ice production tailing off - usually the fill valve, a fill tube frozen shut, or the module itself

FAQ

KitchenAid KFIL27CXMS FAQ

For a KFIL27CXMS, look inside the refrigerator, on the left wall. That is the location KitchenAid publishes for its refrigerators, and the label there is the authoritative source for the number - front-panel badging and box labels often differ from what is actually on the KFIL27CXMS cabinet.

Production of the KFIL27CXMS ended long ago. That does not rule out a repair - the wear items on a refrigerator are largely shared across a generation - but it does mean the parts question on a KFIL27CXMS is settled before any figure is put on the work.

With the refrigerator switched off at its supply, a lamp on a KFIL27CXMS that stays lit behind a closed door means the door switch has failed. It is worth dealing with, because a lamp burning continuously inside a sealed cabinet puts out enough heat to upset the temperature. On a KFIL27CXMS it is a small part and a short job.
