KitchenAid KSSP42QJS

Model # KSSP42QJS

The KSSP42QJS belongs to KitchenAid’s US refrigerator catalogue. It was on KitchenAid’s US product site from April 2001 to July 2001 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.

At this age the work on a KSSP42QJS 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

01

Door gasket hardened with age, so the seal no longer pulls the door tight against the cabinet

02

Temperature sensing wandered out of calibration with age, giving a cabinet that never settles

03

Water supply faults - valve, line or filter housing - on machines plumbed for water

04

Compressor start relay and overload faults, heard as a click every few minutes with no cooling following it

FAQ

KitchenAid KSSP42QJS 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 KSSP42QJS is no exception. Having the full KSSP42QJS number and the serial to hand is what lets a part be identified before anyone travels out.

If a part for the KSSP42QJS cannot be sourced, we tell you at the point we find out and you are not billed for work that cannot be completed. That check comes first on a discontinued model like the KSSP42QJS, not last.

With the refrigerator switched off at its supply, a door on a KSSP42QJS 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 KSSP42QJS it turns into a cooling complaint if it is ignored.
