KitchenAid KBSD602ESS

Model # KBSD602ESS

KitchenAid sold the KBSD602ESS as part of its US refrigerator range. It was on KitchenAid’s US product site from September 2015 to December 2015 and gone after that. That places the machine inside that window: discontinued, and now about a decade into service. 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.

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 KBSD602ESS 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

Water inlet valve or supply line leaks, where a water feed is plumbed in

02

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

03

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

04

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

FAQ

KitchenAid KBSD602ESS 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 KBSD602ESS is no exception. Having the full KBSD602ESS number and the serial to hand is what lets a part be identified before anyone travels out.

The KBSD602ESS is no longer in production. Fans, thermostats, door seals, switches and drain components are generally still obtainable for a cabinet of this generation; cabinet-specific trim and control boards are the ones that dry up. We check sourcing for the KBSD602ESS first and quote second.

With the refrigerator switched off at its supply, a door on a KBSD602ESS that will not close itself is usually a worn hinge or closer cam. It matters because a door left fractionally open runs the compressor continuously and frosts the evaporator, so on a KBSD602ESS it turns into a cooling complaint if it is ignored.
