KitchenAid KRBR133SP Standard-Depth Bottom-Freezer Refrigerator
Bottom-freezer owners with the right-swing door most often ask about compressor noise, freezer frost and a warm fresh-food side.
Model overview
The KitchenAid KRBR133SP is a standard-depth bottom-freezer refrigerator, 70 inches tall, with an upper door that swings right and cannot be reversed. A full-width pantry drawer sits in the fresh-food section, and the interior is lit by LEDs. The unit needs a grounded 115 V, 60 Hz supply on a 15 or 20 amp circuit. Across the metro areas we cover, owners often describe compressor noise, a freezer that frosts over or a fresh-food side that stays warm. For the booking form, add the symptom, the full model number from the rating label and any code the controls show.

What sets the KRBR133SP apart
A right-swing upper door paired with a pull-out bottom freezer sets the KRBR133SPS apart from a left-hinged unit. Because the upper door cannot be flipped, the kitchen layout has to be settled at purchase. The pull-out freezer turns the lower compartment into a drawer, and the framed shelves with metallic accents resist spills.
Service notes for the KRBR133SP
A compressor that runs loud or nonstop is described as a hum, a click or a rattle, because each one points to a different part of the cooling system. A freezer that frosts over, or a fresh-food side that stays warm, points to the defrost path and the airflow between the two sides, so the owner should say which side is affected. The listed facts do not mention an ice maker, so confirm the model and whether one is installed before the visit. Because the door cannot be reversed, any hinge or seal work begins from the right-swing layout. Before the visit, the owner can check the 115 V, 60 Hz supply and look over the door seal along the right edge. Trailing letters on the rating label belong to the model, so copy the number without trimming it.
The model number is printed on the rating label, usually on a side wall or the ceiling inside the fresh-food section, or behind the base grille; match it letter for letter before booking, because a single letter can change parts.
