Freezer works ref does not

Our three month old french door ref stopped working last night. Actually the freezer works and the ref does not. We've adjusted the controles but no luck. Any thoughts on getting the ref. to cool ? Right now it's 75 inside the ref. Freezer frezes ice.

    KitchenAid KBFA25ER Bottom Freezer French Door Refrigerator







    Help Please, I need my refrig back to operational.



    I also have the same problem with the refrig is at 70-80 degrees but the freezer is fine at or close to 0 degrees.

    I can perform the SE tests on the panel but cannot find a problem.

    The evaporator fan in the freezer is partially working (if I initially spin the stopped fan when I turn on the power which is weak it keeps going for days) and I can hear the refrig damper close and open when SE tested. The Back of the refrig motor by the compressor and fan is also working fine.



    Any ideas or additional help is greatly appreciated.



    Thanks. John P.

That is your problem the Freezer Fan supplies air for the freezer as well as the refrigerator. If the rpm are not high enough the frig does not get cool. I just replaces this fan and that was the solution

Many times a freezer and/or refrigerator do not work right because of a dirty condenser coil...there are also many other things that can go wrong.

Fan runs all the time - freezer frost build up

The fan should cycle during recovery period after you opened the unit and then shut off. Make sure there is plenty of space around the unit for ventilation. If you've done this and you said it's 3 months old? Call for warrantee service.

Jenn-Air JFC2089H Bottom Freezer French Door Refrigerator. One month ago the water tap stopped working then I noticied that the top doors to refrigerator would not reliably close like they used to. Last...

The water could have been frozen in the door and melted when your fridge warmed up.


The lower hinge on each door may have a door closing cam. It raises the door up ¼ inch when opening and this assist in closing the door. If it’s wore out and doesn’t work the door may not seal and the gasket can be damaged. Watch the operation of the door to see if it rises up when opened.



The fridge gets its cold air from the freezer through a vent(damper) between the freezer and fridge.The fan in the freezer blows air through it. There is a flap you adjust with the fridge temp. control. Make sure it's opening and closing when you adjust the fridge temp ..

If the evaporator coils behind the back panel of the freezer are icing up because of auto defrost failure that will stop the circulation of cold air and eventually affect the freezer too.

check defrost timer, defrost heater, defrost thermostat. In most newer models the timer has been replaced by an electronic control board. If the heater and thermostat are ok it’ll be the control.
