KitchenAid KBRS22KWMS

Model # KBRS22KWMS

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

01

A start device that has failed, so the compressor hums briefly and drops out on overload

02

A control board aged out of service, the part most worth checking availability on first

03

Evaporator fan motor noise, or a fan that stops and lets the fresh food side climb while the freezer stays cold

04

Restricted condenser airflow, the commonest reason an older cabinet slowly loses its grip on temperature

FAQ

KitchenAid KBRS22KWMS FAQ

The KBRS22KWMS plate is inside the refrigerator, on the left wall, in KitchenAid's own words. It is the adhesive label used across their major appliances, typically silver, and it carries both numbers. A photograph of the KBRS22KWMS label is the most reliable thing you can send us.

The KBRS22KWMS is out of production, and whether repair beats replacement comes down to which component has gone. A seal, a fan or a control is usually straightforward economics; a sealed-system failure on a KBRS22KWMS of this age rarely is, and we will tell you so.

With the refrigerator switched off at its supply, a blocked defrost drain is the usual cause on a KBRS22KWMS rather than a plumbing leak. Meltwater that cannot reach the drain pan backs up onto the cabinet floor and finds its way under the drawers. Clearing the drain on a KBRS22KWMS is routine work.
