KitchenAid KBLS19KTSS

Model # KBLS19KTSS

The KBLS19KTSS is a US-market 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 — 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 KBLS19KTSS00, KBLS19KTSS01, KBLS19KTSS2, KBLS19KTSS4. A plate reading one of those is still a KBLS19KTSS; 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 KBLS19KTSS 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

01

Perished door gasket, showing as condensation round the door frame and a compressor that rarely stops

02

Cold control or thermistor drift, so the cabinet either runs warm or over-freezes the top shelf

03

A weeping inlet valve leaving a slow puddle behind the cabinet that is easy to miss

04

Start relay failure, which stops a mechanically sound compressor dead

FAQ

KitchenAid KBLS19KTSS FAQ

For a KBLS19KTSS, look inside the refrigerator, on the left wall. That is the location KitchenAid publishes for its refrigerators, and the label there is the authoritative source for the number - front-panel badging and box labels often differ from what is actually on the KBLS19KTSS cabinet.

Production of the KBLS19KTSS ended long ago. That does not rule out a repair - the wear items on a refrigerator are largely shared across a generation - but it does mean the parts question on a KBLS19KTSS is settled before any figure is put on the work.

With the refrigerator switched off at its supply, a lamp on a KBLS19KTSS that stays lit behind a closed door means the door switch has failed. It is worth dealing with, because a lamp burning continuously inside a sealed cabinet puts out enough heat to upset the temperature. On a KBLS19KTSS it is a small part and a short job.
