KitchenAid sold the KTRS22MHBL as part of its US refrigerator range, 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.
KTRS22MHBL is one of the colour and finish numbers KitchenAid printed on the same archived product page as KTRS22MH. If the plate in your kitchen reads KTRS22MHBL, this is the right page; if it reads KTRS22MH or one of its siblings (KTRS22MHBT, KTRS22MHWH), the machine underneath is the same cabinet in a different finish. At this age the work on a KTRS22MHBL 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
Loss of refrigerant charge, the fault that decides whether an old cabinet is worth keeping
Defrost drain freezing solid, which puts meltwater under the crisper drawers instead of down the drain
Ice maker fill or harvest faults, where an ice maker is fitted
An interior lamp that has failed, or a door switch that no longer tells the control the door is closed
