KitchenAid KBLA20ERSS

Model # KBLA20ERSS

Call (844) 405-1464 Schedule a Visit

The KBLA20ERSS is a US-market KitchenAid refrigerator. 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 KBLA20ERSS00. A plate reading one of those is still a KBLA20ERSS; 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 KBLA20ERSS 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 KBLA20ERSS FAQ

Inside the refrigerator, on the left wall is where KitchenAid says the label is, and that holds for the KBLA20ERSS. The adhesive label there gives model and serial. Copying the KBLA20ERSS string character by character is worth the extra minute, since one letter separates several different cabinets.

The KBLA20ERSS is out of production, and whether repair beats replacement comes down to which component has gone. A seal, a fan or a control is usually straightforward economics; a sealed-system failure on a KBLA20ERSS of this age rarely is, and we will tell you so.

With the refrigerator switched off at its supply, brushing and vacuuming the condenser coils on a KBLA20ERSS is reasonable owner maintenance and occasionally clears a poor-cooling complaint on its own. If the KBLA20ERSS has not recovered its temperature within a day of that, the fault lies elsewhere and is worth looking at properly.
