Problem With This Kitchenaid Kbf042ftx Built In Refrigerator
We bought our model 7 years ago (5 year extended warranty is over) and the circuit board is apparently not working. The fridge is making incredible noises. This appears to be a discontinued fridge - are there parts available on the market and/or do you have any knowledge of an exisitng recall? I'm certainly not happy that this expensive refrigerator has a major problem this early in its operating existence. Thank you for any guidance you can provide how to handle this issue. Regards.
