KitchenAid side by side refrigerator center wall is hot to the touch

Wife just opened refrig door, and came into contact with the seal on the centerline door, was very warm to the touch.. I checked the centerline wall, ran my hand along the outside of it and it was too hot to keep my finger on it.. checked the interior part of the wall, is cool on refrig side, cold on freezer side.. Ok, so what could be causing this overheat along the exterior part of this wall....

SOURCE: Center partition wall of refrigerator is hot !

Sounds like your condenser fan isn't working...Take the back cover off to see if there's anything stuck in the fan blades. Usually when the fan stops, the compressor & tubing that runs between the doors get really hot. You may also want to clean your condenser coils.

SOURCE: I have a KitchenAid Superba Refrigerator, model

Hi, Sometines you can stretch the seal. T4ry and put a rolled up piece of paper towel and stick it behind the seal in the area that is not touching. If the seal is not touching in the corners, You might be able to twist the door back in shape. If the seal is open at the bottom, pull the top corner of the door toward you while holding the bottom corner against the refrigerator..
If neither of these ideas work, you will need to replace the seal.

Please let me know if I can assist you further.

Check the coils underneath the fridge. Check the coils in back if accessible. Clean the coils if covered in excessive dust it may help. Make sure the vent on fridge side isn't blocked or plugged.

Subzero 532 refrig fan(& compressor) doesn't shut off

the higher the number on a fridge the warmer it is so setting it to 1 is close to 0C
when working on a fridge or freezer always turn it off at the wall
if the fridge is keep cold but not cold enough set it back to say 3
if the compressor is running and the back fins / wall is hot then the fridge is working
use a piece of paper between the door seal and the fridge edge to ensure that it is sticking to the fridge and sealing off properly

The center pillar between the freezer and refrig is hot to the touch

That's entirely normal and nothing to worry about. It is a design feature that stops the door freezing shut. Check the condenser is clean and everything else is normal.

Well, that is were a heating wire runs to evaporate condensation at the seal. So it is normal that it gets slightly hot, but if really hot, then call for service

Freezer working but refridgerator at room temp. Door seal hot.

either the evaporator coil is iced up which means the defrost heater is bad,the defrost control is bad or the damper vent door which throttles cold air in isn't opening fully from the freezer to refrige,the evaporator fan isn't running or if electronically operated the main board behind the unit can be bad on these as this board controls all electrical issues

Freezer is very cold and refrig is not

make sure the return air is open, that is a vent on the side wall of the refrigerator above the crispers on the center mullion. and check to see if the evaporator fan motor is running.
