KitchenAid Refrigerator

KitchenAid KTRA19EMSS

Model # KTRA19EMSS

KitchenAid sold the KTRA19EMSS as part of its US refrigerator range. It was on KitchenAid’s US product site from February 2004 to March 2006 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 — no capacity, no width, no feature list — so none is stated here, and no figure has been taken from a neighbouring model number.

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 KTRA19EMSS00. A plate reading one of those is still a KTRA19EMSS; 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 KTRA19EMSS 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

Condenser coils choked with dust and pet hair, making the compressor run longer and hotter than it was meant to

02

Sagging doors and worn hinge cams, which stop the seal meeting the cabinet squarely

03

Drain blockage at the back of the freezer floor - a routine clear rather than a sealed-system job

04

Sealed-system problems - a refrigerant leak or a restriction - the one fault worth weighing carefully against the value of the cabinet

FAQ

KitchenAid KTRA19EMSS 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 KTRA19EMSS is no exception. Having the full KTRA19EMSS number and the serial to hand is what lets a part be identified before anyone travels out.

Production of the KTRA19EMSS ended long ago. That does not rule out a repair - the wear items on a refrigerator are largely shared across a generation - but it does mean the parts question on a KTRA19EMSS is settled before any figure is put on the work.

With the refrigerator switched off at its supply, the first things checked on a KTRA19EMSS are the airflow path from the freezer and the evaporator fan that drives it. A fan that has stopped, or an evaporator frosted over, starves the fresh food side while the freezer carries on as normal. On a KTRA19EMSS that is component-level work rather than anything to do with the sealed system.
