KitchenAid KSSS36MD

Model # KSSS36MD

Call (844) 405-1464 Schedule a Visit

The KSSS36MD is a US-market KitchenAid refrigerator, 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 January 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.

At this age the work on a KSSS36MD 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.

  • 36" built-in side-by-side refrigerator

Most Common Issues on This Model

01

A start device that has failed, so the compressor hums briefly and drops out on overload

02

A control board aged out of service, the part most worth checking availability on first

03

Evaporator fan motor noise, or a fan that stops and lets the fresh food side climb while the freezer stays cold

04

Restricted condenser airflow, the commonest reason an older cabinet slowly loses its grip on temperature

FAQ

KitchenAid KSSS36MD FAQ

The KSSS36MD 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 KSSS36MD label is the most reliable thing you can send us.

It is discontinued, so parts availability is the question that decides everything else. We look up what can still be supplied for a KSSS36MD 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, the fill valve, the fill tube and the ice maker module on a KSSS36MD are checked in that order, because a fill tube frozen shut imitates a dead module exactly. The sealed system on a KSSS36MD is very rarely the reason ice production stops.
