The KSSS36QD belongs to KitchenAid’s US refrigerator catalogue, 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 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.
At this age the work on a KSSS36QD 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
Ice maker fill or harvest faults, where an ice maker is fitted
An interior lamp that has failed, or a door switch that no longer tells the control the door is closed
Shelf and bin breakages, which on a discontinued model are worth chasing early
Door gasket hardened with age, so the seal no longer pulls the door tight against the cabinet
