KitchenAid Refrigerator Repair – Uniontown, OH (KFIS29BBMS02)

A KitchenAid refrigerator in Uniontown, OH was leaking water onto the floor every couple days. We diagnosed a cracked drip pan in the fresh food compartment and replaced it with a new one.

The Problem

Water was leaking out of the fridge onto the floor, happening every couple of days. The homeowner noticed puddles forming beneath the refrigerator on a regular basis.

Diagnosis

We inspected the refrigerator’s drainage system and found the drip pan in the fresh food compartment had developed cracks. This pan collects condensation during normal operation, and when damaged, allows water to leak onto the floor instead of properly draining.

The Repair

• Parts replaced: W11457241 — drip pan for fresh food compartment
• Work performed: Replaced the drip pan in the fresh food compartment
• Result: Water leaking stopped, proper drainage restored

Is It Worth Repairing?

KitchenAid refrigerators are well-built appliances that typically run 15-20 years with proper maintenance. A drip pan replacement is a straightforward repair that restores normal function without major expense, making it worthwhile for most units under 15 years old.

Maintenance Tips for KitchenAid Refrigerators

• Check and clean the drain pan every 6 months to prevent buildup that can cause cracking
• Keep door seals clean and inspect for damage that can increase condensation
• Clean the condenser coils annually to maintain proper cooling efficiency
