KitchenAid KBLS22KTSS

Model # KBLS22KTSS

Call (844) 405-1464 Schedule a Visit

The KBLS22KTSS is a US-market KitchenAid refrigerator. It was on KitchenAid’s US product site from May 2012 to June 2012 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. Rather than fill the gap with a figure borrowed from a similar-looking number, this page says only what the sources actually carry.

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 KBLS22KTSS00, KBLS22KTSS01, KBLS22KTSS11. A plate reading one of those is still a KBLS22KTSS; 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 KBLS22KTSS 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

Broken crisper runners and door bin lugs - cosmetic, but worth sourcing while parts last

02

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

03

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

04

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

FAQ

KitchenAid KBLS22KTSS FAQ

The KBLS22KTSS plate is inside the refrigerator, on the left wall, in KitchenAid's own words. It is the adhesive label used across their major appliances, typically silver, and it carries both numbers. A photograph of the KBLS22KTSS label is the most reliable thing you can send us.

The KBLS22KTSS is discontinued and has been for some years, so the honest answer depends on the part. We establish what is actually available for a KBLS22KTSS before any work is quoted, rather than diagnosing first and discovering afterwards that nothing can be supplied.

With the refrigerator switched off at its supply, a blocked defrost drain is the usual cause on a KBLS22KTSS rather than a plumbing leak. Meltwater that cannot reach the drain pan backs up onto the cabinet floor and finds its way under the drawers. Clearing the drain on a KBLS22KTSS is routine work.
