KitchenAid KBFO42FSX

Model # KBFO42FSX

The KBFO42FSX is a US-market KitchenAid refrigerator. It appears on KitchenAid’s US product site in July 2006 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, so there is no capacity or dimension quoted on this page. A number lifted from a sibling model would be worse than silence.

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 KBFO42FSX00. A plate reading one of those is still a KBFO42FSX; 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 KBFO42FSX 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.

Most Common Issues on This Model

A condenser fan that has seized or slowed, which shows first as poor cooling in warm weather

Door hinge and closer wear, so the door sits proud and no longer swings shut on its own

A drain tube silted up with debris, which puts water where it should not be

FAQ

KitchenAid KBFO42FSX FAQ

For a KBFO42FSX, 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 KBFO42FSX cabinet.

If a part for the KBFO42FSX cannot be sourced, we tell you at the point we find out and you are not billed for work that cannot be completed. That check comes first on a discontinued model like the KBFO42FSX, not last.

With the refrigerator switched off at its supply, a noise on a KBFO42FSX that stops or changes as the door opens points at the evaporator fan, because the door switch cuts that fan when the door is opened. A condenser fan or compressor noise on a KBFO42FSX carries on regardless of the door, which is how the two are told apart.
