KitchenAid KSBS25FKBL00 Electronic Control Thermal Shutoff, AIR Circulation, Freezer Thermistor

Freezer Thermistor

If the control senses an open or a shorted thermistor, the compressor and the evaporator fan motor will begin to operate on a timed on and off cycle. The cycle time is based on current selected temperature settings.

At mid-settings of 37°F / 0°F, the compressor and the evaporator fan motors will run for 35 minutes, and be off for 25 minutes. Setting the freezer colder will increase the run time. Set- ting the freezer warmer will decrease the run time.

The compressor will run at minimum speed. The evaporator fan will also run at minimum speed, unless the refrigerator compartment requests a higher speed.

Keypad

If the control detects that the keypad is not working, it reverts to the default temperature settings of 37°F in the refrigerator, and 0°F in the freezer.

Evaporator Fan Motor

If the evaporator fan motor malfunctions, the compressor will run at 4500 rpm for an indefi- nite period, except during the defrost periods.

ELECTRONIC CONTROL

THERMAL SHUTOFF

The electronic control utilizes an on-board ther- mistor to shut the compressor off if the tem- perature rises above 160°F (71°C). When the temperature drops to 130°F (55°C), the com- pressor returns to normal operation. This cycle continues indefinitely until the cause of the high temperature has been corrected.

AIR CIRCULATION

In order to ensure the proper refrigerator and freezer compartment temperatures, air must be able to flow between the two sections.

Air enters the bottom of the freezer compart- ment and moves up through the evaporator. Some of the cooled air from the evaporator is directed back into the freezer, and the rest goes into the refrigerator through the motor- ized air door. The refrigerator air then returns to the freezer through the bottom air return (see the illustration below).

It is important not to block any of the vents with food items. If the vents are blocked, airflow will be restricted, and the temperature manage- ment system will not function properly.

IMPORTANT: Because air circulates between both sections, any odors formed in one section will transfer to the other. Keep both sections clean, and wrap or cover foods tightly to pre- vent odors from occurring.
