Could someone please assist me with entering program code 85 on a KitchenAid
KFIS20XVMS10? I am trying to check the Mullion flipper settings. Any guidance would be greatly appreciated. I know how to enter PE mode, but after that, I am unsure how to access code 85.
Once PE is showing on the display, release all buttons and press the LL key once more. If there has been a code saved previously, it will show. Press the UR key to increase the value of the code or LR key to decrease the value (85 up to 86, or 85 down to 84 respectively). However, this would be used only for entering the programming code, it would not be used to enter the service mode to check the mullion setting. This would be done using the SE service test mode and accessing the test number 201. To access the service test mode, press and hold the water key, press and hold the UR key, then release the water key and wait 3 seconds. The display should show SE and start at test 101. Press the UL key until test 201 shows. If the mullion is set to operate when the compressor does, it should show OFF. If it is set to run continuously, it should show On. Pressing the UR or LR keys can change the setting.
Thank you for the detailed instructions. I truly appreciate your assistance. I have checked the Mullion settings, and they are set to 00 to operate in conjunction with the compressor. I am uncertain about the current issue. I previously replaced the Mullion due to rust on the old one. However, the new Mullion is experiencing significant moisture. If I activate the humidity control function, the moisture is reduced, but it returns once the function is deactivated. I have also replaced both door gaskets, but the Mullion still exhibits heavy moisture. All of these issues arose after the replacement. I am quite concerned about the water dripping from the Mullion when the door is opened. I’m getting an OL error when I check the Mullion continuity.
Is the mullion heater setting changing on its own or is it being manually changed back to the original setting? Does the room it is in feel like it is very humid? Also, what temperature is the fresh food section reaching and what temperature is the room? The heater in the mullion will show OL during a continuity test due to the high resistance of the element. As the mullion is able to stop the moisture when manually activated, the mullion is good.

Is the mullion heater setting changing on its own or is it being manually changed back to the original setting?
I manually changed it back to the original settings in service mode.
Does the room it is in feel like it is very humid?
It’s not humid. The humidity level is comfortable.
Also, what temperature is the fresh food section reaching and what temperature is the room?
Fresh food is set to 38 degrees and reaching 34.5 degrees. Pictures attached.
As the mullion is able to stop the moisture when manually activated, the mullion is good.
There is still a slight amount of moisture on the mullion, though no water is actively dripping.
It’s weird, the old mullion was fine, and the problem started after I replaced it. I still have the old one, and I put it back to see if the issue would go away, but sadly, the old mullion is now having the same moisture problem. I can’t figure out what’s going on. Nothing has changed except the mullion and I never had this issue for the last 10 years.
Thank you for your time and assistance. I truly appreciate your help.
At that temperature in the fresh food section, the only thing I can think of that would cause excess moisture would be warm ambient room temperatures mixing in with cold air from the fresh food section across the mullion. If the mullion is dried off, does it seem like the moisture starts accumulating on the right or the left side of the mullion? This can be used to identify where there may be an air leak.
Moisture is building up in the middle of the mullion. Please see the attached pictures.
I truly appreciate your help.
Thank you

Based on a what looks like a water stain, it is very likely that this is happening on the left side. If you warm the left door gasket with a hair dryer by moving the hot air up and down the gasket while maintaining an 8" distance, the gasket should become fairly malleable. Once it is fairly malleable, close the door and allow it to stay shut for several hours. This should allow the gasket to create a firmer seal and stop an air leak. The same can be done for the right side door gasket just in case.
Thanks a bunch for your help and time! It looks like that might actually fix the problem. I still have to try that.
Can I ask you something a little strange? Even with the old gasket, after I replaced the mullion, there was still moisture. Then I replaced the door gasket, and the issue is still there. My question is, is there any chance the compressor isn’t calling the mullion? Could the problem be with the compressor relay or capacitor?
So far, I’ve replaced the mullion, door gasket, and the main control board. I’ve also checked the mullion settings in the service menu.
Thanks again !
