KitchenAid KSSP48QF

Model # KSSP48QF

Call (844) 405-1464 Schedule a Visit

The KSSP48QF belongs to KitchenAid’s US refrigerator catalogue, recorded by its source as a 48″ 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.

KitchenAid printed the colour and finish numbers KSSP48QFB, KSSP48QFS, KSSP48QFW on the same product page as KSSP48QF. An owner whose plate reads one of those is looking at the same cabinet in a different finish, and is on the right page here. At this age the work on a KSSP48QF 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

Shelf and bin breakages, which on a discontinued model are worth chasing early

02

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

03

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

04

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

FAQ

KitchenAid KSSP48QF FAQ

Inside the refrigerator, on the left wall is where KitchenAid says the label is, and that holds for the KSSP48QF. The adhesive label there gives model and serial. Copying the KSSP48QF string character by character is worth the extra minute, since one letter separates several different cabinets.

It is discontinued, so parts availability is the question that decides everything else. We look up what can still be supplied for a KSSP48QF at the outset, and if the part that has failed cannot be had we say so plainly instead of charging for a diagnosis that leads nowhere.

With the refrigerator switched off at its supply, leaving the KSSP48QF propped open to the air is sensible if it is no longer holding temperature, because a closed cabinet that is not cooling grows mould quickly. Food safety comes first on a KSSP48QF as on anything else, and anything that has sat above a safe temperature for hours should go in the bin.
