Overnight with no prior warning, ref side very warm,(room temp or higher), like heat being added to compartment. Freezer side okay. actually too low, minus 7 or so. Moved unit away from wall and seems to be working now but suspect problem not cured. Cleaned condensor best I could in rear of unit. Circular condensor unit. Compressor running normal and condensor seems running okay. Would like to try to replace defrost thermostat on evap coils, or inspect coils for frost. How do I access through freezer? Any other ideas or directions? Thanks much.. Joe in NewOrleans..
Check the cover in back of the freezer for for frost build-up. I think Frost reached the evap fan-blades and stopped it from blowing cold to the ref-side. Contro;s can be confusing. The ON-OFF controls how long the compressor runs, and the other dial how open or choked the airflow from the freezer into the refrigerator. Sometimes it happens that you have that flapper shut and no air is getting moved to the reefer. If frost is on the cover you have dead heater elements on the evap coils or a faulty hi-temp limit switch, which is the disc thingee at the top of the coils. A bad timer also may disallow it going into defrost - think about it. Chris in big bEar

My kitchenaid (kscs25stss01) icemaker is no longer working after turning icemaker off. Icemaker has been back on for the last week or two but no ice has been produced. After reading solutions I decided to check the water inlet tube for ice, but I cannot figure out how to check it. Do you have any suggestions? Thanks.

The ice maker works fine. But the door ice dispenser will only dispense crushed ice. It will not dispense cubed ice. (The buttons seem to work.) Also, when it does dispense crushed ice, the ice is cast all over the place. A significant portion of it ends up on the floor.
Thanks.
