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
Door switch and interior lighting faults, including a lamp that stays lit with the door shut
Broken crisper runners and door bin lugs - cosmetic, but worth sourcing while parts last
Perished door gasket, showing as condensation round the door frame and a compressor that rarely stops
Cold control or thermistor drift, so the cabinet either runs warm or over-freezes the top shelf
