I have a kitchenaid side by side that was purchased about 4 1/2 years ago when we built. The front of the wall between the freezer and the fridge (where the magnetic gaskets seal) is very hot to the touch . We were recently hit by lightening that damaged some of our major electronic devices and I was wondering if the lightening could have cause a problem with the fridge. It has never been hot like this before.
SOURCE: Outside freezer is hot to the touch
Its normal, the heat is coming from the condenser which is integrated within the freezer cabinet and is completely out of sight.
SOURCE: refrigerator Compressor hot to touch & fridge/freezer not cooling
you need to do an amp draw with your meter,clamp the run wire on the compressor,you should get 2-5 amp reading,any higher means the compressor is going bad,also should be a locked rotor amp(LRA) reading on comp.-mike
SOURCE: Kenmore elite side by side: hot divider
This is normal. There is a heater in this panel to stop condensation sweating between the doors.
SOURCE: water squirting out of ice maker and flooding freezer
