KitchenAid sold the KSBS25FKBL as part of its US refrigerator range. It was on KitchenAid’s US product site from December 2003 to February 2004 and gone after that. That places the machine inside that window: discontinued, and now roughly twenty 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 KSBS25FKBL00, KSBS25FKBL01, KSBS25FKBL02. A plate reading one of those is still a KSBS25FKBL; 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 KSBS25FKBL 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
Cold control or thermistor drift, so the cabinet either runs warm or over-freezes the top shelf
A weeping inlet valve leaving a slow puddle behind the cabinet that is easy to miss
Start relay failure, which stops a mechanically sound compressor dead
Control board faults after many years of service, showing as a cabinet that ignores its settings
