KitchenAid KTRC22ELSS

Model # KTRC22ELSS

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.

FAQ

KitchenAid KTRC22ELSS FAQ

KitchenAid gives the location for its refrigerators as inside the refrigerator, on the left wall, and that is where the KTRC22ELSS plate sits. It is an adhesive label, typically silver on major appliances, carrying the model number and the serial number together. Read the whole string off the label rather than from memory, because a KTRC22ELSS sits in a family of very similar numbers.

Production of the KTRC22ELSS 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 KTRC22ELSS is settled before any figure is put on the work.

With the refrigerator switched off at its supply, frost behind the freezer back panel on a KTRC22ELSS means the defrost cycle is not completing - the heater, the defrost thermostat or the control that times it. Left alone on a KTRC22ELSS, that ice eventually blocks the airflow the fresh food compartment depends on.
