The KDRS483VSS is a KitchenAid range sold in the United States. No published specification for this model was recovered. What survives is the model number and a dated record of when KitchenAid was showing it, and that is what is set out here. KitchenAid’s US product site carried it from September 2013 to January 2016, and nothing was captured for it afterwards.
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 KDRS483VSS00, KDRS483VSS02, KDRS483VSS03. A plate reading one of those is still a KDRS483VSS; the suffix identifies which production revision you have, and it occasionally decides which version of a part fits. A KDRS483VSS in use today is about a decade old, and the door seal, the oven sensing and the surface controls account for most of what it gets called out for. Discontinued does not mean unrepairable, but it does mean availability of the specific part for a KDRS483VSS is established before any figure is put on the job.

Most Common Issues on This Model
Oven temperature sensor drift, leaving the cavity hot or cold against the temperature set
An oven igniter that glows but no longer draws enough current to open the gas valve, on a gas configuration
Surface ignition clicking without lighting, usually moisture or debris at the igniter, on a gas configuration
A surface element or its infinite switch failing, so one zone stays cold or runs at full heat
