KitchenAid sold the KSBP23INSS as part of its US refrigerator range. It appears on KitchenAid’s US product site in December 2005 and nowhere after that. That dates the machine to around then: discontinued, and now roughly twenty 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 KSBP23INSS00, KSBP23INSS01. A plate reading one of those is still a KSBP23INSS; the suffix identifies which production revision you have, and it occasionally decides which version of a part fits. At this age the work on a KSBP23INSS is mostly mechanical and electrical rather than electronic — seals, fans, defrost components, switches and the start device. Those are the parts still in circulation for cabinets of this generation, and they are what we check availability on before any figure is put on a repair.
