A while back I asked why my 1yo Kitchenaid side by side top of the line was too cold. It makes shush out of the soda's. It's 28.5* right now on the top shelf of the fridge side. This is on warmer setting. I had a man out and he spent an hour of diagnosis and came up with a bad blend door motor. I was told these have been problems. Anyway, it's still the same after replacment and I thought I'd ask this group. The thermistor was checked and no codes are showing any circuit board problem. It just continues to run! Not the compressor, but the evap fan does. Continuous cold air from the top vent. Anyone have or seen this problem? Thanks in advance.

If the compressor is shutting down then it shouldn't be cooling.
The repair man made a good shot, and Im not convienced that that's still not the problem.
Sometimes parts are bad out of the box, its rare but it happens, it happens to me about once every three months.
I would call the repair man back and explain this to him, he's had his hand in it now. Most service companies want to satisfy you, and Im sure they will work with you on this. Even if it's the wrong diagnosis, doesn't mean he doesn't know what he's doing. Sometimes you just have to take a stab at it, and use the best possible answer.
All techs have call backs. I have call backs. My boss has call backs. Everyone does...

There may be a problem in termostarter ,which regulates the firdge temperatur if there is any defect than it may not cut off the compressor when it is cooling havely same time do check the gasket of the firdge

Thank you for both your inputs. I switched to medium setting last night and monitored temp. No change. So, answer number 2 is raising red flags at this moment. However, I totally agree on bad parts out of the box. Esp when they say made in Mexico like my blend door motor did. I do have the man coming back out next week and I'lll let him know I was here. I am in the Automotive repair field, so I fully understand how comebacks work. Thanks, and I'll post results once we get this issue fixed. BTW, KitchenAid warranteed the work after a little gripe. :)
