KitchenAid KBRA20EMSS

Model # KBRA20EMSS

Call (844) 405-1464 Schedule a Visit

The KBRA20EMSS belongs to KitchenAid’s US refrigerator catalogue. It was on KitchenAid’s US product site from August 2004 to March 2006 and gone after that. That places the machine inside that window: discontinued, and now roughly twenty years old. 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 KBRA20EMSS00. A plate reading one of those is still a KBRA20EMSS; 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 KBRA20EMSS 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.

FAQ

KitchenAid KBRA20EMSS FAQ

For a KBRA20EMSS, 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 KBRA20EMSS cabinet.

Sometimes, yes - a discontinued model like the KBRA20EMSS can mean waiting on a specialist supplier for an obsolete part. We establish that on a KBRA20EMSS before the job starts, so the choice between waiting, substituting where a substitute genuinely exists, and replacing the machine is yours to make with the facts in front of you.

With the refrigerator switched off at its supply, a lamp on a KBRA20EMSS 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 KBRA20EMSS it is a small part and a short job.
