The KSRB22FHBL belongs to KitchenAid’s US refrigerator catalogue, recorded by its source as a side-by-side refrigerator of 21.6 cu. ft. It appears on KitchenAid’s US product site in January 2000 and nowhere after that. That dates the machine to around then: discontinued, and now around a quarter of a century old. Nothing beyond what that source states is claimed here, and no figure has been carried across from a neighbouring model number.
KSRB22FHBL is one of the colour and finish numbers KitchenAid printed on the same archived product page as KSRB22FH. If the plate in your kitchen reads KSRB22FHBL, this is the right page; if it reads KSRB22FH or one of its siblings (KSRB22FHBT, KSRB22FHWH), the machine underneath is the same cabinet in a different finish. At this age the work on a KSRB22FHBL 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
Cracked door bins and shelf trim, ordinary wear on a cabinet of this age
A door seal gone stiff, letting warm room air track in along one edge
A control reading the cabinet wrongly, so the compressor runs far longer or far shorter than it should
Water inlet valve or supply line leaks, where a water feed is plumbed in
