KitchenAid KBRS36FKW

Model # KBRS36FKW

Call (844) 405-1464 Schedule a Visit

The KBRS36FKW belongs to KitchenAid’s US refrigerator catalogue. It was on KitchenAid’s US product site from November 2001 to June 2003 and gone after that. That places the machine inside that window: discontinued, and now around a quarter of a century old. No published specification for this model was recovered, so there is no capacity or dimension quoted on this page. A number lifted from a sibling model would be worse than silence.

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 KBRS36FKW02. A plate reading one of those is still a KBRS36FKW; the suffix identifies which production revision you have, and it occasionally decides which version of a part fits. At this age the work on a KBRS36FKW is mostly mechanical and electrical rather than electronic — seals, fans, defrost components, switches and the start device. Those are the parts still in circulation for cabinets of this generation, and they are what we check availability on before any figure is put on a repair.

Most Common Issues on This Model

01

Perished door gasket, showing as condensation round the door frame and a compressor that rarely stops

02

Cold control or thermistor drift, so the cabinet either runs warm or over-freezes the top shelf

03

A weeping inlet valve leaving a slow puddle behind the cabinet that is easy to miss

04

Start relay failure, which stops a mechanically sound compressor dead

FAQ

KitchenAid KBRS36FKW FAQ

For a KBRS36FKW, look inside the refrigerator, on the left wall. That is the location KitchenAid publishes for its refrigerators, and the label there is the authoritative source for the number - front-panel badging and box labels often differ from what is actually on the KBRS36FKW cabinet.

If a part for the KBRS36FKW cannot be sourced, we tell you at the point we find out and you are not billed for work that cannot be completed. That check comes first on a discontinued model like the KBRS36FKW, not last.

With the refrigerator switched off at its supply, a noise on a KBRS36FKW that stops or changes as the door opens points at the evaporator fan, because the door switch cuts that fan when the door is opened. A condenser fan or compressor noise on a KBRS36FKW carries on regardless of the door, which is how the two are told apart.
