KitchenAid KBLS20EVMS

Model # KBLS20EVMS

Call (844) 405-1464 Schedule a Visit

The KBLS20EVMS belongs to KitchenAid’s US refrigerator catalogue. It appears on KitchenAid’s US product site in May 2011 and nowhere after that. That dates the machine to around then: discontinued, and now getting on for fifteen 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 KBLS20EVMS00, KBLS20EVMS5. A plate reading one of those is still a KBLS20EVMS; the suffix identifies which production revision you have, and it occasionally decides which version of a part fits. A cabinet of this vintage is past the point where the door seal, the evaporator fan and the defrost components are as-new, and those account for most of what a KBLS20EVMS is called out for. Since the model is discontinued, we settle what can still be supplied for it before the work is quoted.

FAQ

KitchenAid KBLS20EVMS FAQ

KitchenAid gives the location for its refrigerators as inside the refrigerator, on the left wall, and that is where the KBLS20EVMS plate sits. It is an adhesive label, typically silver on major appliances, carrying the model number and the serial number together. Read the whole string off the label rather than from memory, because a KBLS20EVMS sits in a family of very similar numbers.

If a part for the KBLS20EVMS 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 KBLS20EVMS, not last.

With the refrigerator switched off at its supply, a sudden and total loss of cooling on a KBLS20EVMS points at the compressor start device or the control rather than gradual wear, since wear-related faults arrive slowly. The distinction matters on a KBLS20EVMS, because one is an inexpensive component and the other decides whether the cabinet is worth keeping.
