KitchenAid Refrigerator

KitchenAid KBBR206ESS

Model # KBBR206ESS

The KBBR206ESS is one of the KitchenAid refrigerators. It was on KitchenAid’s US product site from March 2015 to September 2015 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 — no capacity, no width, no feature list — so none is stated here, and no figure has been taken from a neighbouring model number.

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 KBBR206ESS 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 KBBR206ESS FAQ

KitchenAid gives the location for its refrigerators as inside the refrigerator, on the left wall, and that is where the KBBR206ESS plate sits. It is an adhesive label, typically silver on major appliances, carrying the model number and the serial number together. Read the whole string off the label rather than from memory, because a KBBR206ESS sits in a family of very similar numbers.

Sometimes, yes - a discontinued model like the KBBR206ESS can mean waiting on a specialist supplier for an obsolete part. We establish that on a KBBR206ESS 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, frost behind the freezer back panel on a KBBR206ESS means the defrost cycle is not completing - the heater, the defrost thermostat or the control that times it. Left alone on a KBBR206ESS, that ice eventually blocks the airflow the fresh food compartment depends on.
