I have a Kitchen Aid KBRS36FKX00 that is about ten years old. When the fridge was under warranty, the evaporator motor and part of the wiring harness was changed as a known problem. I am now having the same problem, the unit runs constantly and the freezer works fine but the refrigerator section temperature has been rising. I found on this forum a post by Gene where he had a link to a service manual for a side by side model. I was wondering if the procedures are the same for the bottom freezer units.

Gene,
I cleaned the coils. Now the refrigerator does not cool at all. I replaced the evaporator fan as it flunked the diagnostic test.
Now the compressor flunks the test as well as the defroster heater and bimetal.
I was wondering if you had a service manual for this model, I am using one for a side by side now.

You are welcome. Normally it takes about 24 hours.

we own a MAYTAG MTB1504ARS
I have similar symptoms. Freezer is fine. Fridge is warm. I have replaced the def. timer. Still no luck.
Service repair man wants to charge me 295 + tax for parts and labor for a defrost system. (we are in New York) Does this sound incredibly high?

Hi, I have a Maytag MBF2258WEB0. I am getting a heavy frosty coating all across the evaporator every 6 days or so. The little duct flap in the refrigerator section seems to open and shut. I am assuming that there is a problem with the heater. I think that my unit uses a ADC rather than a timer motor. Is the problem usually with the heater, the Bimetal - Def, or the thermostat in the freezer? What should I do?
I checked the continuity of the heater and it measures OK. I am not sure where the Bimetal switch is. There is a round cylindical sensor clamped onto the cold lines going to the evaporator. I don't see any plug for it. It just seems to go up into the main harness.

Hi Sean, There are no a separate ADC in your refrigerator. The defrost, as well as many other functions, controls by the control board (#5 on the diagram). The bi-metal is usually located on top of the evaporator. It is shown as #14 on the diagram. If the bi-metal is good, replace the control board. - The bi-metal Part number: AP4310486
