KitchenAid KFIS27CXMS

Model # KFIS27CXMS

Call (844) 405-1464 Schedule a Visit

The KFIS27CXMS is a US-market KitchenAid refrigerator. It appears on KitchenAid’s US product site in May 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. What survives is the model number and a dated record of when KitchenAid was showing it, and that is what is set out here.

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 KFIS27CXMS0, KFIS27CXMS1, KFIS27CXMS2, KFIS27CXMS3, KFIS27CXMS4, KFIS27CXMS5, KFIS27CXMS6. A plate reading one of those is still a KFIS27CXMS; 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 KFIS27CXMS 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

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

FAQ

KitchenAid KFIS27CXMS FAQ

Inside the refrigerator, on the left wall is where KitchenAid says the label is, and that holds for the KFIS27CXMS. The adhesive label there gives model and serial. Copying the KFIS27CXMS string character by character is worth the extra minute, since one letter separates several different cabinets.

The KFIS27CXMS is discontinued, but age alone does not decide it. Most of what fails on a KFIS27CXMS is a wear component priced in tens of dollars rather than hundreds, and those repairs stay worthwhile. The exception is the sealed system, where the cost sits close to what the cabinet is worth, and we check the parts position before quoting either way.

With the refrigerator switched off at its supply, leaving the KFIS27CXMS propped open to the air is sensible if it is no longer holding temperature, because a closed cabinet that is not cooling grows mould quickly. Food safety comes first on a KFIS27CXMS as on anything else, and anything that has sat above a safe temperature for hours should go in the bin.
