KitchenAid sold the KSF26C4XYW as part of its US refrigerator range. It appears on KitchenAid’s US product site in January 2015 and nowhere after that. That dates the machine to around then: discontinued, and now about a decade into service. No published specification for this model was recovered. What survives is the model number and a dated record of when KitchenAid was showing it, and that is what is set out here.
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 KSF26C4XYW00, KSF26C4XYW02, KSF26C4XYW03. A plate reading one of those is still a KSF26C4XYW; 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 KSF26C4XYW 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
Sealed-system problems - a refrigerant leak or a restriction - the one fault worth weighing carefully against the value of the cabinet
A defrost cycle that has stopped running, so ice builds behind the freezer back panel until airflow chokes
Ice production tailing off - usually the fill valve, a fill tube frozen shut, or the module itself
Door switch and interior lighting faults, including a lamp that stays lit with the door shut
