KitchenAid KBRS22ETSS

Model # KBRS22ETSS

KitchenAid sold the KBRS22ETSS as part of its US refrigerator range. 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 KBRS22ETSS00, KBRS22ETSS01. A plate reading one of those is still a KBRS22ETSS; 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 KBRS22ETSS is called out for. Since the model is discontinued, we settle what can still be supplied for it before the work is quoted.

FAQ

KitchenAid KBRS22ETSS FAQ

For a KBRS22ETSS, 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 KBRS22ETSS cabinet.

Sometimes, yes - a discontinued model like the KBRS22ETSS can mean waiting on a specialist supplier for an obsolete part. We establish that on a KBRS22ETSS 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 KBRS22ETSS 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 KBRS22ETSS it is a small part and a short job.
