KitchenAid KTLA19EMSS

Model # KTLA19EMSS

The KTLA19EMSS is a KitchenAid refrigerator. It was on KitchenAid’s US product site from February 2004 to August 2004 and gone after that. That places the machine inside that window: discontinued, and now roughly twenty years 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 KTLA19EMSS00. A plate reading one of those is still a KTLA19EMSS; 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 KTLA19EMSS 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

01

Shelf and bin breakages, which on a discontinued model are worth chasing early

02

Door gasket hardened with age, so the seal no longer pulls the door tight against the cabinet

03

Temperature sensing wandered out of calibration with age, giving a cabinet that never settles

04

Water supply faults - valve, line or filter housing - on machines plumbed for water

FAQ

KitchenAid KTLA19EMSS FAQ

Inside the refrigerator, on the left wall is where KitchenAid says the label is, and that holds for the KTLA19EMSS. The adhesive label there gives model and serial. Copying the KTLA19EMSS string character by character is worth the extra minute, since one letter separates several different cabinets.

The KTLA19EMSS is out of production, and whether repair beats replacement comes down to which component has gone. A seal, a fan or a control is usually straightforward economics; a sealed-system failure on a KTLA19EMSS of this age rarely is, and we will tell you so.

With the refrigerator switched off at its supply, brushing and vacuuming the condenser coils on a KTLA19EMSS is reasonable owner maintenance and occasionally clears a poor-cooling complaint on its own. If the KTLA19EMSS has not recovered its temperature within a day of that, the fault lies elsewhere and is worth looking at properly.
