KitchenAid Refrigerator

KitchenAid KBSD608ESS

Model # KBSD608ESS

The KBSD608ESS is a KitchenAid refrigerator. It was on KitchenAid’s US product site from September 2015 to September 2017 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. Rather than fill the gap with a figure borrowed from a similar-looking number, this page says only what the sources actually carry.

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 KBSD608ESS 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

Door hinge and closer wear, so the door sits proud and no longer swings shut on its own

02

A drain tube silted up with debris, which puts water where it should not be

03

Sealed-system faults, which we identify plainly rather than repair around

04

Defrost faults - heater, thermostat or timer - leaving the evaporator packed with frost and the cabinet slowly warming

FAQ

KitchenAid KBSD608ESS FAQ

KitchenAid places the refrigerator plate inside the refrigerator, on the left wall, so that is where the KBSD608ESS label will be. It lists the model and the serial on the same silver sticker. Getting the KBSD608ESS number exactly right matters more on an older cabinet, where parts diverged between otherwise identical-looking siblings.

The KBSD608ESS 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 KBSD608ESS of this age rarely is, and we will tell you so.

With the refrigerator switched off at its supply, and the water line closed where one is fitted, a KBSD608ESS comes forward on its rollers once the front levelling feet are wound up clear of the floor. Taking the weight off those feet first is what prevents a scored floor and a strained door frame on a KBSD608ESS.
