Thread: Kitchen aid superba KSCS25FKSS00 problems

I don't have the tech. data sheet for this model, you should have it, it would be located behind the bottom kickplate grille.

So you turned the condenser fan blade that sits next to the compressor and the fan started running on its own? Did it stay running?

Jake thank you. The fan near the compressor did not spin when I turned the unit on this morning. I spun it and then it kept going on its own. I looked for the tech sheet behind the front black plastic grill. Where exactly would it be . I had removed the drip tray and the in line filter housing, did not see it there. I turned the unit on , and placed individual thermometers in each side. Noticed air flow coming into the frig side at the top left vent, considered moderate flow. Heard fan running in the freezer compartment will check for frost on those coils, in about an hour. Thanks Jake

Jake an update. I turned on the unit this morning after extensive cleaning yesterday, with the unit unplugged. After starting the fan manually I let it run for an hour and a half, with the freezer and frigerator empty. The temp controls set for the coldest setting . After an hour and a half the temp on the thermometers read from initial start points of 78 degrees now at 2 degrees for freezer and 48 degrees for the frigerator side . From the vents in the bottom freezer section I see light frost on the visible elements. I hear the freezer fan running. Do I need to remove the white sheet metal back plate to check the coil unit. Door frame between doors hot as is compressor , still running (understandable as for interior setting choice on led readout. Compressor fan still running on its own. Noticeable increase in airflow from freezer to frigerator as I open the freezer door. Condensate pan clean and dry. Still can't locate tech sheet. Tried to download it said it was harmful download. Did not download. Unit sounds a little noisier than before trouble started. Still have rear cardboard panel off for observation of components.

It sounds like the problem is the condensor fan motor. Once you replace the fan motor you'll need to replace the cardboard back over the machine compartment so the air is directed over the condensor coils.

Yes I agree with Rick, your condenser fan motor not starting on its own is the problem. I'd order that.

For now I'd also put a portable fan back in the back of your refrigerator aim it so its blowing air at the compressor, then give it some time and see if your refrigerator section cools down more to normal: 36-40 degrees.

Thank you both, I have ordered the part you suggested and will let you know once installed. Thanks Rick Thanks Jake. The fan trick works great

Ok, sounds good, yes keep us posted.
