KitchenAid KBRS19KTSS

Model # KBRS19KTSS

The KBRS19KTSS is one of the KitchenAid refrigerators. 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. Rather than fill the gap with a figure borrowed from a similar-looking number, this page says only what the sources actually carry.

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 KBRS19KTSS00, KBRS19KTSS01, KBRS19KTSS11, KBRS19KTSS2, KBRS19KTSS3, KBRS19KTSS4. A plate reading one of those is still a KBRS19KTSS; 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 KBRS19KTSS is called out for. Since the model is discontinued, we settle what can still be supplied for it before the work is quoted.

Most Common Issues on This Model

01

Shelf and bin breakages, which on a discontinued model are worth chasing early

02

Door gasket hardened with age, so the seal no longer pulls the door tight against the cabinet

03

Temperature sensing wandered out of calibration with age, giving a cabinet that never settles

04

Water supply faults - valve, line or filter housing - on machines plumbed for water

FAQ

KitchenAid KBRS19KTSS FAQ

Inside the refrigerator, on the left wall is where KitchenAid says the label is, and that holds for the KBRS19KTSS. The adhesive label there gives model and serial. Copying the KBRS19KTSS string character by character is worth the extra minute, since one letter separates several different cabinets.

The KBRS19KTSS is out of production, and whether repair beats replacement comes down to which component has gone. A seal, a fan or a control is usually straightforward economics; a sealed-system failure on a KBRS19KTSS of this age rarely is, and we will tell you so.

With the refrigerator switched off at its supply, brushing and vacuuming the condenser coils on a KBRS19KTSS is reasonable owner maintenance and occasionally clears a poor-cooling complaint on its own. If the KBRS19KTSS has not recovered its temperature within a day of that, the fault lies elsewhere and is worth looking at properly.
