KitchenAid Refrigerator

KitchenAid KTRS22MH

Model # KTRS22MH

The KTRS22MH is a US-market KitchenAid refrigerator, recorded by its source as a top-mount refrigerator of 21.6 cu. ft. It appears on KitchenAid’s US product site in January 2000 and nowhere after that. That dates the machine to around then: discontinued, and now around a quarter of a century old. Nothing beyond what that source states is claimed here, and no figure has been carried across from a neighbouring model number.

KitchenAid printed the colour and finish numbers KTRS22MHBL, KTRS22MHBT, KTRS22MHWH on the same product page as KTRS22MH. An owner whose plate reads one of those is looking at the same cabinet in a different finish, and is on the right page here. At this age the work on a KTRS22MH 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

Door switch and interior lighting faults, including a lamp that stays lit with the door shut

02

Broken crisper runners and door bin lugs - cosmetic, but worth sourcing while parts last

03

Perished door gasket, showing as condensation round the door frame and a compressor that rarely stops

04

Cold control or thermistor drift, so the cabinet either runs warm or over-freezes the top shelf

FAQ

KitchenAid KTRS22MH 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 KTRS22MH is no exception. Having the full KTRS22MH number and the serial to hand is what lets a part be identified before anyone travels out.

The KTRS22MH is no longer in production. Fans, thermostats, door seals, switches and drain components are generally still obtainable for a cabinet of this generation; cabinet-specific trim and control boards are the ones that dry up. We check sourcing for the KTRS22MH first and quote second.

With the refrigerator switched off at its supply, a door on a KTRS22MH that will not close itself is usually a worn hinge or closer cam. It matters because a door left fractionally open runs the compressor continuously and frosts the evaporator, so on a KTRS22MH it turns into a cooling complaint if it is ignored.
