We have a KitchenAid KBRS19KTSS00 bottom freezer
If the door has a gap, certainly ice build up will occur on the evaporators and block the air flow which will just accumulate more and more if you don't defrost it first. make sure the doors always shut.
NO ICE OR WATER
Whenever the water lingers inside the freezer, it freezes. If the valve has a slow leak, or the final outlet tube is scratched, ice can build up and eventually block entry.
A hair drier on the area where water enters the freezer might clear up the problem. I'm not sure that's a prescribed method to melt the ice though. Defrosting the freezer could thaw it out, but where do you put the frozen items?

Have you checked for ice in the basket? Provided there is ice, when you apply pressure on the switch do you hear the typical grinding? If yes then check to make sure ice is not clogging the path.

The ice maker on my Kitchenaid KBF320EVMS4 french door refrigerator stopped working. The drinking water works fine and I can hear the noise when the ice maker fills with water but no water comes in.
you can pop the cover off of the ice maker,on the module you'll see some letters,if you get a jumper wire and stick it into the T and H the ice maker should start to spin,if it doesn't the ice maker is bad,then remove the wire and stick it into the V and L,water should start to fill the ice maker,if it doesn't most likely you have a bad water valve,just get a piece of wire,strip off both ends to make a jumper wire.one more thing,check the fill cup and the fill line to see if there's any ice in there,if the water valve is bad water can drip through and freeze in the cup or fill line stopping the water from entering the ice maker,if there is melt it out with a hair dryer,also if you have to get in there with a hair dryer be careful with the heat on any plastic parts,you can damage it and don't heat the fuse on the ice maker wires,it's a black fuse built into the harness you can damage it if it gets to hot.you can go here to see your parts
