KitchenAid KBFS20ECMS

Model # KBFS20ECMS

The KBFS20ECMS belongs to KitchenAid’s US refrigerator catalogue. It was on KitchenAid’s US product site from August 2014 to February 2015 and gone after that. That places the machine inside that window: discontinued, and now about a decade into service. 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 KBFS20ECMS00. A plate reading one of those is still a KBFS20ECMS; the suffix identifies which production revision you have, and it occasionally decides which version of a part fits. A cabinet of this vintage is past the point where the door seal, the evaporator fan and the defrost components are as-new, and those account for most of what a KBFS20ECMS is called out for. Since the model is discontinued, we settle what can still be supplied for it before the work is quoted.

FAQ

KitchenAid KBFS20ECMS FAQ

KitchenAid gives the location for its refrigerators as inside the refrigerator, on the left wall, and that is where the KBFS20ECMS 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 KBFS20ECMS sits in a family of very similar numbers.

Sometimes, yes - a discontinued model like the KBFS20ECMS can mean waiting on a specialist supplier for an obsolete part. We establish that on a KBFS20ECMS before the job starts, so the choice between waiting, substituting where a substitute genuinely exists, and replacing the machine is yours to make with the facts in front of you.

With the refrigerator switched off at its supply, frost behind the freezer back panel on a KBFS20ECMS means the defrost cycle is not completing - the heater, the defrost thermostat or the control that times it. Left alone on a KBFS20ECMS, that ice eventually blocks the airflow the fresh food compartment depends on.
