KitchenAid KBRS19KT

Model # KBRS19KT

KitchenAid sold the KBRS19KT as part of its US refrigerator range. It appears on KitchenAid’s US product site in May 2012 and nowhere after that. That dates the machine to around then: discontinued, and now about a decade into service. 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.

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 KBRS19KT 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 KBRS19KT FAQ

KitchenAid places the refrigerator plate inside the refrigerator, on the left wall, so that is where the KBRS19KT label will be. It lists the model and the serial on the same silver sticker. Getting the KBRS19KT number exactly right matters more on an older cabinet, where parts diverged between otherwise identical-looking siblings.

It is discontinued, so parts availability is the question that decides everything else. We look up what can still be supplied for a KBRS19KT 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, the condenser coils and condenser fan on a KBRS19KT are the first place to look, because a coil packed with dust makes the compressor work far longer to shed the same heat. A perished door seal on a KBRS19KT produces exactly the same symptom, so both are checked together.
