KitchenAid KRBL109ESS

Model # KRBL109ESS

KitchenAid sold the KRBL109ESS as part of its US refrigerator range. It appears on KitchenAid’s US product site in September 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. 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 KRBL109ESS 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

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

02

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

03

An ice maker that fills but will not eject, or a bin that has frozen into one solid block

04

Lighting and door-switch problems, worth ruling out before anything is assumed about the cooling side

FAQ

KitchenAid KRBL109ESS FAQ

Inside the refrigerator, on the left wall is where KitchenAid says the label is, and that holds for the KRBL109ESS. The adhesive label there gives model and serial. Copying the KRBL109ESS string character by character is worth the extra minute, since one letter separates several different cabinets.

The KRBL109ESS is out of production, and whether repair beats replacement comes down to which component has gone. A seal, a fan or a control is usually straightforward economics; a sealed-system failure on a KRBL109ESS of this age rarely is, and we will tell you so.

With the refrigerator switched off at its supply, brushing and vacuuming the condenser coils on a KRBL109ESS is reasonable owner maintenance and occasionally clears a poor-cooling complaint on its own. If the KRBL109ESS has not recovered its temperature within a day of that, the fault lies elsewhere and is worth looking at properly.
