My Kitchenaid refrigerator stop freezing. It still gets cold on both sides. But the freezer does not freeze anymore. I was told that it was the coils need cleaning, so I blew them ouy with my air compressor and I also cleaned the drain tray. It still does not freeze. What else could it be?

It could be a freon leak, or the compressor is not staying on.  If you can hear a clicking sound coming from the back every couple of minutes, your compressor overload is kicking off.  More than likely you either have a freon leak, or a defective compressor. Check the warranty on your machine as many manufactures warranty the sealed system for much longer than the rest of the refrigerator.

Build in kitchenaid, freezer working but not freezing

This video I made how to change evaporator on Thermador refrigerator, which is just copy of of Build in Kitchenaid. Problem was that it was running, but ice cream never got frozen. I checked pressures, was low on freon. I checked evaporator coils - found out that defrost heater got deformed and was touching evaporator coils - so it burned holes, where freon started to leak.( I think it designed not best way). Defrost heater on this fridges way to close to evaporator coils. Check this video to get an idea what Im talking about. I hope That helps u to understand why this repair is so expensive and what causing it.

SORRY, YOU NEED A TECHI. THERE. EITHER YOUR TH/STAT IS STICKING OR THERE IS AN ISSUE WITH YOUR AUTO DEFROST UNIT. ALL THINGS TOLD CHECK THAT THE FREEZER OR EVAPORATOR FAN IS RUNNING. IF NOT IT COULD ALSO CAUSE PROBLEMS.
