KitchenAid KSSS48FKW

Model # KSSS48FKW

Call (844) 405-1464 Schedule a Visit

The KSSS48FKW is one of the KitchenAid refrigerators. It was on KitchenAid’s US product site from October 2001 to August 2003 and gone after that. That places the machine inside that window: discontinued, and now around a quarter of a century old. No published specification for this model was recovered, so there is no capacity or dimension quoted on this page. A number lifted from a sibling model would be worse than silence.

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 KSSS48FKW00, KSSS48FKW01, KSSS48FKW02. A plate reading one of those is still a KSSS48FKW; 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 KSSS48FKW 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.

01

Control board faults after many years of service, showing as a cabinet that ignores its settings

02

A failing evaporator fan, heard as a rising whine or a rattle that changes when the door is held shut

03

A condenser fan that has seized or slowed, which shows first as poor cooling in warm weather

04

Door hinge and closer wear, so the door sits proud and no longer swings shut on its own

FAQ

KitchenAid KSSS48FKW FAQ

Open the fresh food door and look at the left wall - KitchenAid puts the refrigerator model and serial plate inside the refrigerator, on the left wall, and the KSSS48FKW is no exception. Having the full KSSS48FKW number and the serial to hand is what lets a part be identified before anyone travels out.

The KSSS48FKW is no longer in production. Fans, thermostats, door seals, switches and drain components are generally still obtainable for a cabinet of this generation; cabinet-specific trim and control boards are the ones that dry up. We check sourcing for the KSSS48FKW first and quote second.

With the refrigerator switched off at its supply, a door on a KSSS48FKW that will not close itself is usually a worn hinge or closer cam. It matters because a door left fractionally open runs the compressor continuously and frosts the evaporator, so on a KSSS48FKW it turns into a cooling complaint if it is ignored.
