KitchenAid KBRS22KTSS

Model # KBRS22KTSS

The KBRS22KTSS is a US-market KitchenAid refrigerator. It appears on KitchenAid’s US product site in May 2012 and nowhere after that. That dates the machine to around then: discontinued, and now about a decade into service. No published specification for this model was recovered — no capacity, no width, no feature list — so none is stated here, and no figure has been taken from a neighbouring model number.

KitchenAid appends a two-digit production-revision code to the base number on the rating plate, and the codes actually observed for this model are KBRS22KTSS00, KBRS22KTSS01. A plate reading one of those is still a KBRS22KTSS; the suffix identifies which production revision you have, and it occasionally decides which version of a part fits. A cabinet of this vintage is past the point where the door seal, the evaporator fan and the defrost components are as-new, and those account for most of what a KBRS22KTSS is called out for. Since the model is discontinued, we settle what can still be supplied for it before the work is quoted.

Most Common Issues on This Model

01

Condenser coils choked with dust and pet hair, making the compressor run longer and hotter than it was meant to

02

Sagging doors and worn hinge cams, which stop the seal meeting the cabinet squarely

03

Drain blockage at the back of the freezer floor - a routine clear rather than a sealed-system job

04

Sealed-system problems - a refrigerant leak or a restriction - the one fault worth weighing carefully against the value of the cabinet

FAQ

KitchenAid KBRS22KTSS FAQ

Open the fresh food door and look at the left wall - KitchenAid puts the refrigerator model and serial plate inside the refrigerator, on the left wall, and the KBRS22KTSS is no exception. Having the full KBRS22KTSS number and the serial to hand is what lets a part be identified before anyone travels out.

Production of the KBRS22KTSS ended long ago. That does not rule out a repair - the wear items on a refrigerator are largely shared across a generation - but it does mean the parts question on a KBRS22KTSS is settled before any figure is put on the work.

With the refrigerator switched off at its supply, the first things checked on a KBRS22KTSS are the airflow path from the freezer and the evaporator fan that drives it. A fan that has stopped, or an evaporator frosted over, starves the fresh food side while the freezer carries on as normal. On a KBRS22KTSS that is component-level work rather than anything to do with the sealed system.
