About the brand
About KitchenAid Refrigerators
KitchenAid is a premium brand owned by Whirlpool. Many people know it for stand mixers, but its refrigerators are just as popular in remodeled kitchens. Because it is part of the Whirlpool family, many KitchenAid parts are shared with Maytag and JennAir, which helps with fast parts sourcing.
KitchenAid fridges come in two main groups. Freestanding models include counter-depth French door and side-by-side units. Built-in models sit flush with your cabinets and are often panel-ready.
Built-in KitchenAid units place the compressor and coils at the top. They need different care and tools than freestanding models. See our built-in refrigerator repair page for more.
The most common KitchenAid repairs we do involve the ice maker, the defrost system, the water inlet valve and control boards.
We are an independent refrigerator repair company. We are not affiliated with, or an authorized service center for, KitchenAid. Brand names are used only to describe the appliances we repair.
