KitchenAid Refrigerator

KitchenAid KBLS22KCMS

Model # KBLS22KCMS

The KBLS22KCMS is a KitchenAid refrigerator. It was on KitchenAid’s US product site from March 2015 to June 2015 and gone after that. That places the machine inside that window: discontinued, and now about a decade into service. No published specification for this model was recovered — no capacity, no width, no feature list — so none is stated here, and no figure has been taken from a neighbouring model number.

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 KBLS22KCMS00. A plate reading one of those is still a KBLS22KCMS; 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 KBLS22KCMS 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 KBLS22KCMS FAQ

Open the fresh food door and look at the left wall - KitchenAid puts the refrigerator model and serial plate inside the refrigerator, on the left wall, and the KBLS22KCMS is no exception. Having the full KBLS22KCMS number and the serial to hand is what lets a part be identified before anyone travels out.

Sometimes, yes - a discontinued model like the KBLS22KCMS can mean waiting on a specialist supplier for an obsolete part. We establish that on a KBLS22KCMS before the job starts, so the choice between waiting, substituting where a substitute genuinely exists, and replacing the machine is yours to make with the facts in front of you.

With the refrigerator switched off at its supply, the first things checked on a KBLS22KCMS are the airflow path from the freezer and the evaporator fan that drives it. A fan that has stopped, or an evaporator frosted over, starves the fresh food side while the freezer carries on as normal. On a KBLS22KCMS that is component-level work rather than anything to do with the sealed system.
