KitchenAid KBLC36MHW

Model # KBLC36MHW

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.

FAQ

KitchenAid KBLC36MHW FAQ

For a KBLC36MHW, look inside the refrigerator, on the left wall. That is the location KitchenAid publishes for its refrigerators, and the label there is the authoritative source for the number - front-panel badging and box labels often differ from what is actually on the KBLC36MHW cabinet.

If a part for the KBLC36MHW 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 KBLC36MHW, not last.

With the refrigerator switched off at its supply, a noise on a KBLC36MHW that stops or changes as the door opens points at the evaporator fan, because the door switch cuts that fan when the door is opened. A condenser fan or compressor noise on a KBLC36MHW carries on regardless of the door, which is how the two are told apart.
