KitchenAid KBLC36FKS

Model # KBLC36FKS

KitchenAid sold the KBLC36FKS as part of its US refrigerator range. It was on KitchenAid’s US product site from November 2001 to August 2003 and gone after that. That places the machine inside that window: discontinued, and now around a quarter of a century old. No published specification for this model was recovered. What survives is the model number and a dated record of when KitchenAid was showing it, and that is what is set out here.

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 KBLC36FKS00, KBLC36FKS01, KBLC36FKS02. A plate reading one of those is still a KBLC36FKS; 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 KBLC36FKS 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

01

Shelf and bin breakages, which on a discontinued model are worth chasing early

02

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

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

FAQ

KitchenAid KBLC36FKS FAQ

Inside the refrigerator, on the left wall is where KitchenAid says the label is, and that holds for the KBLC36FKS. The adhesive label there gives model and serial. Copying the KBLC36FKS string character by character is worth the extra minute, since one letter separates several different cabinets.

It is discontinued, so parts availability is the question that decides everything else. We look up what can still be supplied for a KBLC36FKS at the outset, and if the part that has failed cannot be had we say so plainly instead of charging for a diagnosis that leads nowhere.

With the refrigerator switched off at its supply, leaving the KBLC36FKS propped open to the air is sensible if it is no longer holding temperature, because a closed cabinet that is not cooling grows mould quickly. Food safety comes first on a KBLC36FKS as on anything else, and anything that has sat above a safe temperature for hours should go in the bin.
