The KSSC36FKS is a KitchenAid refrigerator. It was on KitchenAid’s US product site from November 2001 to April 2003 and gone after that. That places the machine inside that window: discontinued, and now around a quarter of a century old. 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 KSSC36FKS00, KSSC36FKS01, KSSC36FKS02. A plate reading one of those is still a KSSC36FKS; 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 KSSC36FKS 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.

Start relay failure, which stops a mechanically sound compressor dead
