Where does damper/fan that controls air to the fridge located in KitchenAid KFIS29PBMS
Have a KitchenAid KFIS29PMBS. No air flowing into the fridge so the fridge never gets colder then 60F. Tech came out and said that it could be the fan or the damper that controls the cold air. He said he would do it for $600, but I want to see if it's easy enough to do it myself.

The seal on the door is not making contact with the fridge. Take a hair dryer on moderate heat setting close the door and heat up the seal where the frost is until it gets flexible and makes contact with the fridge for a good seal. Should happen in about 30-45 seconds. I had the same problem, waited around all day for a service tech to come and he did this in a minute. I was not happy and was like why did you not just tell me to do that over the phone.
Water probably did get into the switch(es). The best bet for a fast fix is to pull the knobs off and use an air can (like for blowing dust out electronics) to blow down into the holes. This will dry out any water in there and should allow you to use it again. To be extra sure, blow out the switches and leave the knobs off over night. In the morning the knobs can be replaced and the cook top should be good to use. Hope this helps!
Most stove vents have a diverter plate which prevents air from coming in. When the fan is turned on, this diverter is opened by the air flow and allows the air to flow through. It sounds like this plate is either stuck or was not installed when the ventilation duct was installed.
You need to install a damper. It sounds like your vent now just vents into the attic and out the attic vents. If that is the case, or even if it vents directly to a roof vent, you can install a damper that only lets air flowe one direction.
The damper would be installed in the exhaust duct. If your vent pipe is connected to a roofmounted vent, you can replace the vent with a dampered vent.
it is strange that you have no gas and no spark! if you held a match to the burner and turned the burner valve on it would lite di spite a failed ignitor,but for it not to lite, the burner valve[its what the knob attaches too] would have to be blocked[thats rare]or ........i got it .....the knob is broken.thats the only thing the burner valve and the spark ignitor have in common.try a knob from another burner................again.you have spark,because others are working.spark on troubled burner would work if valve blocked at orifice outlet,and if spark failed you would still get gas they work independent of each other,[but in unison].thats why im thinking knob.its the item that works both .when you turn the knob it opens the gas valve and as the gas valve rotates by turning the knob it activates or turns the spark switch so it closes the curcit allowing the electricty to the spark moduel.hey i hope that helps a little. God bless ,tom
you definalty should feels air moving, providing hte unit is ON. when not in use there should be mo draft( minimal at best) if there is still a draft when unit is off, i would check where it exhausts outside, there should be flap tha closes when not inuse
1. Turn off the power at the breaker box. 2. lift off the air grill. 3. remove the two screws at the front of the control switch panel (escutcheon).. 4. slide the control panel forward until it disengages, then lift up to expose the switch assembly and wiring.
Here is just one source of many that you can purchse dampers from.
