KitchenAid KSSS36QDX03

Model # KSSS36QDX03

Call (844) 405-1464 Schedule a Visit

The KSSS36QDX03 is a KitchenAid refrigerator, 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 March 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.

KSSS36QDX03 is published here exactly as KitchenAid printed it, with the two-digit production-revision code on the end. The bare base KSSS36QDX 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 KSSS36QDX03 string. At this age the work on a KSSS36QDX03 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.

FAQ

KitchenAid KSSS36QDX03 FAQ

Inside the refrigerator, on the left wall is where KitchenAid says the label is, and that holds for the KSSS36QDX03. The adhesive label there gives model and serial. Copying the KSSS36QDX03 string character by character is worth the extra minute, since one letter separates several different cabinets.

The KSSS36QDX03 is discontinued, but age alone does not decide it. Most of what fails on a KSSS36QDX03 is a wear component priced in tens of dollars rather than hundreds, and those repairs stay worthwhile. The exception is the sealed system, where the cost sits close to what the cabinet is worth, and we check the parts position before quoting either way.

With the refrigerator switched off at its supply, leaving the KSSS36QDX03 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 KSSS36QDX03 as on anything else, and anything that has sat above a safe temperature for hours should go in the bin.
