The KSSP36MFW is one of the KitchenAid refrigerators, 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 March 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.
KSSP36MFW is one of the colour and finish numbers KitchenAid printed on the same archived product page as KSSP36MF. If the plate in your kitchen reads KSSP36MFW, this is the right page; if it reads KSSP36MF or one of its siblings (KSSP36MFB), the machine underneath is the same cabinet in a different finish. At this age the work on a KSSP36MFW 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
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
A start device that has failed, so the compressor hums briefly and drops out on overload
