KitchenAid KSSS48FJW

Model # KSSS48FJW

Call (844) 405-1464 Schedule a Visit

The KSSS48FJW belongs to KitchenAid’s US refrigerator catalogue. It appears on KitchenAid’s US product site in April 2001 and nowhere after that. That dates the machine to around then: discontinued, and now around a quarter of a century old. No published specification for this model was recovered. Rather than fill the gap with a figure borrowed from a similar-looking number, this page says only what the sources actually carry.

KitchenAid appends a two-digit production-revision code to the base number on the rating plate, and the codes actually observed for this model are KSSS48FJW00. A plate reading one of those is still a KSSS48FJW; the suffix identifies which production revision you have, and it occasionally decides which version of a part fits. At this age the work on a KSSS48FJW 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 KSSS48FJW FAQ

Inside the refrigerator, on the left wall is where KitchenAid says the label is, and that holds for the KSSS48FJW. The adhesive label there gives model and serial. Copying the KSSS48FJW string character by character is worth the extra minute, since one letter separates several different cabinets.

The KSSS48FJW is discontinued and has been for some years, so the honest answer depends on the part. We establish what is actually available for a KSSS48FJW before any work is quoted, rather than diagnosing first and discovering afterwards that nothing can be supplied.

With the refrigerator switched off at its supply, brushing and vacuuming the condenser coils on a KSSS48FJW is reasonable owner maintenance and occasionally clears a poor-cooling complaint on its own. If the KSSS48FJW has not recovered its temperature within a day of that, the fault lies elsewhere and is worth looking at properly.
