KitchenAid sold the KSSS36MDX03 as part of its US refrigerator range, recorded by its source as a 36″ built-in side-by-side refrigerator in the Superba series. KitchenAid’s own US product site was showing it in January 2000, and no later listing for it was recovered. That makes it a long-discontinued cabinet, 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.
KSSS36MDX03 is published here exactly as KitchenAid printed it, with the two-digit production-revision code on the end. The bare base KSSS36MDX was never itself observed in any source, so it is not offered as a model number — the form on your rating plate will be the full KSSS36MDX03 string. At this age the work on a KSSS36MDX03 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
Perished door gasket, showing as condensation round the door frame and a compressor that rarely stops
Cold control or thermistor drift, so the cabinet either runs warm or over-freezes the top shelf
A weeping inlet valve leaving a slow puddle behind the cabinet that is easy to miss
Start relay failure, which stops a mechanically sound compressor dead
