Kitchenaid Refrigerator Repair – Massillon, OH (KRMF706EBS05)

Samuel recently completed a refrigerator repair in Massillon, OH on a KitchenAid French door refrigerator (model KRMF706EBS05) that had gone completely dark, with no cooling in either compartment. After diagnostics pointed to a shorted freezer evaporator fan motor pulling down the low-voltage circuit, the fan assembly was replaced and the refrigerator returned to normal operation.

The Problem

Refrigerator and freezer not cooling — motor was running loud then stopped completely, no lights, unit appears fully dead

The Repair

Customer reported buzzing/vibration from the freezer followed by complete loss of cooling, with the dispenser UI remaining operational. Initial diagnostics were largely nonresponsive and showed an FC thermistor open fault; after disconnecting the evaporator fan loads, both FC and RC thermistors passed and the compressor successfully operated in Test 4. Findings indicate a failed/shorted freezer evaporator fan motor or harness was pulling down the low-voltage circuit and preventing normal operation. Ordering freezer evaporator fan assembly; compressor/inverter and main control operation verified.
Replaced freezer evaporator fan. Good to go.
