KitchenAid KBRA20ERSS

Model # KBRA20ERSS

Call (844) 405-1464 Schedule a Visit

The KBRA20ERSS is one of the KitchenAid refrigerators. 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. 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 KBRA20ERSS00. A plate reading one of those is still a KBRA20ERSS; 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 KBRA20ERSS 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 KBRA20ERSS FAQ

KitchenAid places the refrigerator plate inside the refrigerator, on the left wall, so that is where the KBRA20ERSS label will be. It lists the model and the serial on the same silver sticker. Getting the KBRA20ERSS number exactly right matters more on an older cabinet, where parts diverged between otherwise identical-looking siblings.

The KBRA20ERSS is discontinued and has been for some years, so the honest answer depends on the part. We establish what is actually available for a KBRA20ERSS 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, and the water line closed where one is fitted, a KBRA20ERSS comes forward on its rollers once the front levelling feet are wound up clear of the floor. Taking the weight off those feet first is what prevents a scored floor and a strained door frame on a KBRA20ERSS.
