KitchenAid KTRA19EMBL

Model # KTRA19EMBL

The KTRA19EMBL is a US-market 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. What survives is the model number and a dated record of when KitchenAid was showing it, and that is what is set out here.

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 KTRA19EMBL00. A plate reading one of those is still a KTRA19EMBL; 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 KTRA19EMBL 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 KTRA19EMBL FAQ

Inside the refrigerator, on the left wall is where KitchenAid says the label is, and that holds for the KTRA19EMBL. The adhesive label there gives model and serial. Copying the KTRA19EMBL string character by character is worth the extra minute, since one letter separates several different cabinets.

It is discontinued, so parts availability is the question that decides everything else. We look up what can still be supplied for a KTRA19EMBL at the outset, and if the part that has failed cannot be had we say so plainly instead of charging for a diagnosis that leads nowhere.

With the refrigerator switched off at its supply, leaving the KTRA19EMBL 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 KTRA19EMBL as on anything else, and anything that has sat above a safe temperature for hours should go in the bin.
