KitchenAid KBRS19KTMS

Model # KBRS19KTMS

The KBRS19KTMS belongs to KitchenAid’s US refrigerator catalogue. It appears on KitchenAid’s US product site in January 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 — 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 KBRS19KTMS2, KBRS19KTMS3. A plate reading one of those is still a KBRS19KTMS; 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 KBRS19KTMS 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 KBRS19KTMS FAQ

KitchenAid gives the location for its refrigerators as inside the refrigerator, on the left wall, and that is where the KBRS19KTMS 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 KBRS19KTMS sits in a family of very similar numbers.

Production of the KBRS19KTMS ended long ago. That does not rule out a repair - the wear items on a refrigerator are largely shared across a generation - but it does mean the parts question on a KBRS19KTMS is settled before any figure is put on the work.

With the refrigerator switched off at its supply, frost behind the freezer back panel on a KBRS19KTMS means the defrost cycle is not completing - the heater, the defrost thermostat or the control that times it. Left alone on a KBRS19KTMS, that ice eventually blocks the airflow the fresh food compartment depends on.
