The KBLC36MHW is a KitchenAid refrigerator. It appears on KitchenAid’s US product site in April 2001 and nowhere after that. That dates the machine to around then: discontinued, and now around a quarter of a century 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 KBLC36MHW01. A plate reading one of those is still a KBLC36MHW; 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 KBLC36MHW 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 control board aged out of service, the part most worth checking availability on first
Evaporator fan motor noise, or a fan that stops and lets the fresh food side climb while the freezer stays cold
Restricted condenser airflow, the commonest reason an older cabinet slowly loses its grip on temperature
Handle, hinge and door-closer wear from years of daily use
