KitchenAid KSSC42FKS

Model # KSSC42FKS

KitchenAid sold the KSSC42FKS as part of its US refrigerator range. It was on KitchenAid’s US product site from November 2001 to June 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, so there is no capacity or dimension quoted on this page. A number lifted from a sibling model would be worse than silence.

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 KSSC42FKS00, KSSC42FKS01, KSSC42FKS02. A plate reading one of those is still a KSSC42FKS; 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 KSSC42FKS 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.

FAQ

KitchenAid KSSC42FKS FAQ

Open the fresh food door and look at the left wall - KitchenAid puts the refrigerator model and serial plate inside the refrigerator, on the left wall, and the KSSC42FKS is no exception. Having the full KSSC42FKS number and the serial to hand is what lets a part be identified before anyone travels out.

The KSSC42FKS is no longer in production. Fans, thermostats, door seals, switches and drain components are generally still obtainable for a cabinet of this generation; cabinet-specific trim and control boards are the ones that dry up. We check sourcing for the KSSC42FKS first and quote second.

With the refrigerator switched off at its supply, a door on a KSSC42FKS that will not close itself is usually a worn hinge or closer cam. It matters because a door left fractionally open runs the compressor continuously and frosts the evaporator, so on a KSSC42FKS it turns into a cooling complaint if it is ignored.
