KitchenAid sold the KBLA22ERSS as part of its US refrigerator range. It appears on KitchenAid’s US product site in December 2005 and nowhere after that. That dates the machine to around then: discontinued, and now roughly twenty years old. 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 KBLA22ERSS00. A plate reading one of those is still a KBLA22ERSS; the suffix identifies which production revision you have, and it occasionally decides which version of a part fits. At this age the work on a KBLA22ERSS 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
Door gasket hardened with age, so the seal no longer pulls the door tight against the cabinet
Temperature sensing wandered out of calibration with age, giving a cabinet that never settles
Water supply faults - valve, line or filter housing - on machines plumbed for water
Compressor start relay and overload faults, heard as a click every few minutes with no cooling following it
