The KTRC22ELSS belongs to KitchenAid’s US refrigerator catalogue. It was on KitchenAid’s US product site from June 2002 to December 2003 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 KTRC22ELSS01. A plate reading one of those is still a KTRC22ELSS; 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 KTRC22ELSS 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
A door seal gone stiff, letting warm room air track in along one edge
A control reading the cabinet wrongly, so the compressor runs far longer or far shorter than it should
Water inlet valve or supply line leaks, where a water feed is plumbed in
A start device that has failed, so the compressor hums briefly and drops out on overload
