KitchenAid KRSC500ESS

Model # KRSC500ESS

KitchenAid sold the KRSC500ESS as part of its US refrigerator range. It was on KitchenAid’s US product site from July 2015 to October 2015 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, so there is no capacity or dimension quoted on this page. A number lifted from a sibling model would be worse than silence.

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 KRSC500ESS 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

Control board faults after many years of service, showing as a cabinet that ignores its settings

02

A failing evaporator fan, heard as a rising whine or a rattle that changes when the door is held shut

03

A condenser fan that has seized or slowed, which shows first as poor cooling in warm weather

04

Door hinge and closer wear, so the door sits proud and no longer swings shut on its own

FAQ

KitchenAid KRSC500ESS FAQ

Open the fresh food door and look at the left wall - KitchenAid puts the refrigerator model and serial plate inside the refrigerator, on the left wall, and the KRSC500ESS is no exception. Having the full KRSC500ESS number and the serial to hand is what lets a part be identified before anyone travels out.

If a part for the KRSC500ESS cannot be sourced, we tell you at the point we find out and you are not billed for work that cannot be completed. That check comes first on a discontinued model like the KRSC500ESS, not last.

With the refrigerator switched off at its supply, a door on a KRSC500ESS that will not close itself is usually a worn hinge or closer cam. It matters because a door left fractionally open runs the compressor continuously and frosts the evaporator, so on a KRSC500ESS it turns into a cooling complaint if it is ignored.
