KitchenAid sold the KBFS22ECMS as part of its US refrigerator range. It appears on KitchenAid’s US product site in October 2014 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 — 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 KBFS22ECMS00. A plate reading one of those is still a KBFS22ECMS; 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 KBFS22ECMS is called out for. Since the model is discontinued, we settle what can still be supplied for it before the work is quoted.
