KitchenAid KSSP48QFS

Model # KSSP48QFS

Call (844) 405-1464 Schedule a Visit

The KSSP48QFS is a KitchenAid refrigerator, 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.

KSSP48QFS is one of the colour and finish numbers KitchenAid printed on the same archived product page as KSSP48QF. If the plate in your kitchen reads KSSP48QFS, this is the right page; if it reads KSSP48QF or one of its siblings (KSSP48QFB, KSSP48QFW), the machine underneath is the same cabinet in a different finish. At this age the work on a KSSP48QFS 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

Sagging doors and worn hinge cams, which stop the seal meeting the cabinet squarely

02

Drain blockage at the back of the freezer floor - a routine clear rather than a sealed-system job

03

Sealed-system problems - a refrigerant leak or a restriction - the one fault worth weighing carefully against the value of the cabinet

04

A defrost cycle that has stopped running, so ice builds behind the freezer back panel until airflow chokes

FAQ

KitchenAid KSSP48QFS FAQ

The KSSP48QFS plate is inside the refrigerator, on the left wall, in KitchenAid's own words. It is the adhesive label used across their major appliances, typically silver, and it carries both numbers. A photograph of the KSSP48QFS label is the most reliable thing you can send us.

The KSSP48QFS 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 KSSP48QFS of this age rarely is, and we will tell you so.

With the refrigerator switched off at its supply, a blocked defrost drain is the usual cause on a KSSP48QFS rather than a plumbing leak. Meltwater that cannot reach the drain pan backs up onto the cabinet floor and finds its way under the drawers. Clearing the drain on a KSSP48QFS is routine work.
