KitchenAid KBLA22KRSS

Model # KBLA22KRSS

The KBLA22KRSS is a 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.

At this age the work on a KBLA22KRSS 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 KBLA22KRSS FAQ

KitchenAid places the refrigerator plate inside the refrigerator, on the left wall, so that is where the KBLA22KRSS label will be. It lists the model and the serial on the same silver sticker. Getting the KBLA22KRSS number exactly right matters more on an older cabinet, where parts diverged between otherwise identical-looking siblings.

The KBLA22KRSS is discontinued and has been for some years, so the honest answer depends on the part. We establish what is actually available for a KBLA22KRSS before any work is quoted, rather than diagnosing first and discovering afterwards that nothing can be supplied.

With the refrigerator switched off at its supply, and the water line closed where one is fitted, a KBLA22KRSS comes forward on its rollers once the front levelling feet are wound up clear of the floor. Taking the weight off those feet first is what prevents a scored floor and a strained door frame on a KBLA22KRSS.
