KitchenAid KFIS20XVMS

Model # KFIS20XVMS

The KFIS20XVMS is one of the KitchenAid refrigerators. It was on KitchenAid’s US product site from May 2014 to November 2017 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. 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 KFIS20XVMS00, KFIS20XVMS1, KFIS20XVMS10, KFIS20XVMS11, KFIS20XVMS2, KFIS20XVMS3, KFIS20XVMS4, KFIS20XVMS5, KFIS20XVMS6, KFIS20XVMS7, KFIS20XVMS8. A plate reading one of those is still a KFIS20XVMS; 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 KFIS20XVMS 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 KFIS20XVMS FAQ

KitchenAid places the refrigerator plate inside the refrigerator, on the left wall, so that is where the KFIS20XVMS label will be. It lists the model and the serial on the same silver sticker. Getting the KFIS20XVMS number exactly right matters more on an older cabinet, where parts diverged between otherwise identical-looking siblings.

The KFIS20XVMS 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 KFIS20XVMS of this age rarely is, and we will tell you so.

With the refrigerator switched off at its supply, and the water line closed where one is fitted, a KFIS20XVMS comes forward on its rollers once the front levelling feet are wound up clear of the floor. Taking the weight off those feet first is what prevents a scored floor and a strained door frame on a KFIS20XVMS.
