KitchenAid KSSP36QJS

Model # KSSP36QJS

The KSSP36QJS is one of the KitchenAid refrigerators. It appears on KitchenAid’s US product site in April 2001 and nowhere after that. That dates the machine to around then: discontinued, and now around a quarter of a century old. No published specification for this model was recovered. Rather than fill the gap with a figure borrowed from a similar-looking number, this page says only what the sources actually carry.

At this age the work on a KSSP36QJS 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 KSSP36QJS FAQ

KitchenAid places the refrigerator plate inside the refrigerator, on the left wall, so that is where the KSSP36QJS label will be. It lists the model and the serial on the same silver sticker. Getting the KSSP36QJS number exactly right matters more on an older cabinet, where parts diverged between otherwise identical-looking siblings.

The KSSP36QJS is out of production, and whether repair beats replacement comes down to which component has gone. A seal, a fan or a control is usually straightforward economics; a sealed-system failure on a KSSP36QJS of this age rarely is, and we will tell you so.

With the refrigerator switched off at its supply, and the water line closed where one is fitted, a KSSP36QJS comes forward on its rollers once the front levelling feet are wound up clear of the floor. Taking the weight off those feet first is what prevents a scored floor and a strained door frame on a KSSP36QJS.
