KitchenAid sold the KBRS22KWMS as part of its US refrigerator range. It appears on KitchenAid’s US product site in November 2010 and nowhere after that. That dates the machine to around then: discontinued, and now getting on for fifteen years old. No published specification for this model was recovered. Rather than fill the gap with a figure borrowed from a similar-looking number, this page says only what the sources actually carry.
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 KBRS22KWMS4, KBRS22KWMS6. A plate reading one of those is still a KBRS22KWMS; 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 KBRS22KWMS 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
A start device that has failed, so the compressor hums briefly and drops out on overload
A control board aged out of service, the part most worth checking availability on first
Evaporator fan motor noise, or a fan that stops and lets the fresh food side climb while the freezer stays cold
Restricted condenser airflow, the commonest reason an older cabinet slowly loses its grip on temperature
