KitchenAid KSF26C6XYY

Model # KSF26C6XYY

The KSF26C6XYY is one of the KitchenAid refrigerators. It was on KitchenAid’s US product site from May 2015 to September 2016 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.

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 KSF26C6XYY00, KSF26C6XYY02, KSF26C6XYY03, KSF26C6XYY04. A plate reading one of those is still a KSF26C6XYY; 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 KSF26C6XYY is called out for. Since the model is discontinued, we settle what can still be supplied for it before the work is quoted.

FAQ

KitchenAid KSF26C6XYY FAQ

Inside the refrigerator, on the left wall is where KitchenAid says the label is, and that holds for the KSF26C6XYY. The adhesive label there gives model and serial. Copying the KSF26C6XYY string character by character is worth the extra minute, since one letter separates several different cabinets.

The KSF26C6XYY 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 KSF26C6XYY of this age rarely is, and we will tell you so.

With the refrigerator switched off at its supply, brushing and vacuuming the condenser coils on a KSF26C6XYY is reasonable owner maintenance and occasionally clears a poor-cooling complaint on its own. If the KSF26C6XYY has not recovered its temperature within a day of that, the fault lies elsewhere and is worth looking at properly.
