KitchenAid KBSD508ESS

Model # KBSD508ESS

Call (844) 405-1464 Schedule a Visit

The KBSD508ESS is a US-market KitchenAid refrigerator. It appears on KitchenAid’s US product site in July 2015 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 KBSD508ESS00. A plate reading one of those is still a KBSD508ESS; 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 KBSD508ESS 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

Evaporator fan bearing wear, ending in a fan that will not start from cold

02

Condenser coils choked with dust and pet hair, making the compressor run longer and hotter than it was meant to

03

Sagging doors and worn hinge cams, which stop the seal meeting the cabinet squarely

04

Drain blockage at the back of the freezer floor - a routine clear rather than a sealed-system job

FAQ

KitchenAid KBSD508ESS FAQ

Inside the refrigerator, on the left wall is where KitchenAid says the label is, and that holds for the KBSD508ESS. The adhesive label there gives model and serial. Copying the KBSD508ESS string character by character is worth the extra minute, since one letter separates several different cabinets.

The KBSD508ESS is discontinued and has been for some years, so the honest answer depends on the part. We establish what is actually available for a KBSD508ESS before any work is quoted, rather than diagnosing first and discovering afterwards that nothing can be supplied.

With the refrigerator switched off at its supply, brushing and vacuuming the condenser coils on a KBSD508ESS is reasonable owner maintenance and occasionally clears a poor-cooling complaint on its own. If the KBSD508ESS has not recovered its temperature within a day of that, the fault lies elsewhere and is worth looking at properly.
