KitchenAid KSSO36FTX

Model # KSSO36FTX

The KSSO36FTX belongs to KitchenAid’s US refrigerator catalogue. It was on KitchenAid’s US product site from September 2013 to April 2015 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, 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 KSSO36FTX00, KSSO36FTX02, KSSO36FTX04, KSSO36FTX15. A plate reading one of those is still a KSSO36FTX; 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 KSSO36FTX 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 KSSO36FTX FAQ

KitchenAid gives the location for its refrigerators as inside the refrigerator, on the left wall, and that is where the KSSO36FTX plate sits. It is an adhesive label, typically silver on major appliances, carrying the model number and the serial number together. Read the whole string off the label rather than from memory, because a KSSO36FTX sits in a family of very similar numbers.

The KSSO36FTX 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 KSSO36FTX first and quote second.

With the refrigerator switched off at its supply, a sudden and total loss of cooling on a KSSO36FTX points at the compressor start device or the control rather than gradual wear, since wear-related faults arrive slowly. The distinction matters on a KSSO36FTX, because one is an inexpensive component and the other decides whether the cabinet is worth keeping.
