The KBURT3661A is an older 36-inch built-in bottom-mount refrigerator from Thermador’s KBU line, part of the same bottom-mount family as the later electronic KBULT3655E. Thermador still lists a service page for its FD variants.
On a bottom-mount this age, frost at the freezer seal and a fresh-food section that warms when an evaporator fan stops are the patterns seen most. Both are worth diagnosing before assuming the compressor or refrigerant charge is the problem; sealed-system work, if it is needed, is for an EPA-certified technician.
