KitchenAid KRBL133SPS Bottom-Freezer Refrigerator
Bottom-freezer refrigerator — model notes, common issues and related KitchenAid refrigerator service.
Model overview
Owners of a bottom-freezer KRBL133SPS often notice a change in the fresh-food section before anything else, such as a crisper that feels less cold or milk that turns sooner than expected. Other early clues include a steady hum that grows into a louder, longer cycle, or a faint puddle near the front grille after a few days. Each one points to a different part of this KitchenAid cabinet, whether the sealed system, the door gasket or the drain path. Jot down what you saw and when, because the first sign is often the easiest one to describe later. Across the metro areas we cover, that short note helps the first visit go in the right direction. In the booking form, enter the model KRBL133SPS, the symptom in your words and any code on the control.

What sets the KRBL133SPS apart
The left-swing refrigerator door is what sets the KRBL133SPS apart, and its 22 cu. ft. of nominal storage is split between a full-width pantry drawer and framed shelves. Wide foods that would not fit a narrow bin go in the pantry, and the PrintShield stainless finish is the exterior the owner wipes. Day to day, confirm the door direction before planning the kitchen layout, because the door swings left.
Service notes for the KRBL133SPS
Leaks inside or under the unit point to the defrost drain and the water path behind the lower trim, and a technician checks those before anything in the sealed cooling system. When the fresh-food side will not cool to its set point, airflow, the door seal and the temperature controls are the first three things to look at, and the owner should say whether the freezer still holds its setting. A hum, a fan sound or a rattle from the compressor each lead to a different place, so describe the sound. Ice maker questions on this configuration should be checked against the model before booking, because its listed facts do not mention one. Before the visit, the owner can check the listed 120 V, 60 Hz, 15 A supply and keep the kitchen outlet clear. Enter the rating-label number whole, since letters and digits can trail this base.
Common issues for this model
- Water leaking inside or under the unit
- Compressor or fan running loud or nonstop
- Fresh-food section not cooling to the set temperature
- Ice maker or dispenser not working
