The KBFS20ETSS is a KitchenAid refrigerator. It appears on KitchenAid’s US product site in May 2012 and nowhere after that. That dates the machine to around then: discontinued, and now about a decade into service. No published specification for this model was recovered, so there is no capacity or dimension quoted on this page. A number lifted from a sibling model would be worse than silence.
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 KBFS20ETSS00, KBFS20ETSS01. A plate reading one of those is still a KBFS20ETSS; 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 KBFS20ETSS is called out for. Since the model is discontinued, we settle what can still be supplied for it before the work is quoted.

Most Common Issues on This Model
Blocked defrost drain leaving water under the crispers or running out onto the floor
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
