The short answer
The K family is a refrigeration platform sold by Blomberg, and the models in the table below share the build that makes these faults behave alike. The dominant complaint is a cabinet that is running but not getting cold.
Problems on these models
- The cabinet is warm while the unit is clearly running — Listen for the circulation fan and look for a frost sheet behind the rear panel. See that page. — Slug: blomberg-blomberg-refrigerator-k-refrigerator-cooling-failure
- Water under the drawers, or a puddle at the front — Water inside means the defrost drain; water behind means the supply connection. See that page. — Slug: blomberg-blomberg-refrigerator-k-refrigerator-water-leak
- Buzzing, rattling or a repeated tick — Open the door: a noise that stops is the circulation fan and nothing else. See that page. — Slug: blomberg-blomberg-refrigerator-k-refrigerator-abnormal-noise
- No ice, hollow cubes, or ice that never releases — A dry mould is a supply fault; a full one is a temperature or harvest fault. See that page. — Slug: blomberg-blomberg-refrigerator-k-refrigerator-ice-production
Problem classes by frequency
- A cabinet that is running but not getting cold — Most reported on this family: the dominant complaint across these models, and far more often an air-path fault than a sealed-system one.
- Water inside the cabinet or on the floor — Next, the drain channel accounts for the large majority of it.
- A cabinet that has become noisy — Next, frequent but seldom serious, and often clearance rather than a failed part.
- An ice maker that produces nothing, too little, or bad ice — Least reported here: confined to the models in this family that carry a module at all.

Problem classes by rank (no counted sample) — No denominator: this family has no fault counts, so the table ranks and states no share.
General guidance| Problem class | Rank on this family |
|---|---|
| The cabinet is warm while the unit is clearly running | most reported |
| Water under the drawers, or a puddle at the front | mid-ranked |
| Buzzing, rattling or a repeated tick | mid-ranked |
| No ice, hollow cubes, or ice that never releases | least reported |
What is owner-fixable
The condenser, the door seals, the defrost drain and the cabinet vents are all owner-reachable. The defrost circuit, the fans behind the rear panel and the sealed system are service work, and refrigerant work is licensed work.
