KitchenAid KBLA22ERSS

Model # KBLA22ERSS

KitchenAid sold the KBLA22ERSS as part of its US refrigerator range. 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, 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 KBLA22ERSS00. A plate reading one of those is still a KBLA22ERSS; 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 KBLA22ERSS 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

Door gasket hardened with age, so the seal no longer pulls the door tight against the cabinet

02

Temperature sensing wandered out of calibration with age, giving a cabinet that never settles

03

Water supply faults - valve, line or filter housing - on machines plumbed for water

04

Compressor start relay and overload faults, heard as a click every few minutes with no cooling following it

FAQ

KitchenAid KBLA22ERSS FAQ

Open the fresh food door and look at the left wall - KitchenAid puts the refrigerator model and serial plate inside the refrigerator, on the left wall, and the KBLA22ERSS is no exception. Having the full KBLA22ERSS number and the serial to hand is what lets a part be identified before anyone travels out.

If a part for the KBLA22ERSS 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 KBLA22ERSS, not last.

With the refrigerator switched off at its supply, a door on a KBLA22ERSS that will not close itself is usually a worn hinge or closer cam. It matters because a door left fractionally open runs the compressor continuously and frosts the evaporator, so on a KBLA22ERSS it turns into a cooling complaint if it is ignored.
