The KSSC36MFS is a US-market KitchenAid refrigerator, recorded by its source as a 36″ built-in side-by-side refrigerator in the Superba series. 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.
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 KSSC36MFS05. A plate reading one of those is still a KSSC36MFS; 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 KSSC36MFS 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.

Water supply faults - valve, line or filter housing - on machines plumbed for water
Compressor start relay and overload faults, heard as a click every few minutes with no cooling following it
