KitchenAid KSRA22CNSS

Model # KSRA22CNSS

The KSRA22CNSS is one of the KitchenAid refrigerators. It was on KitchenAid’s US product site from June 2004 to April 2005 and gone after that. That places the machine inside that window: 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 KSRA22CNSS01. A plate reading one of those is still a KSRA22CNSS; 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 KSRA22CNSS 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.

FAQ

KitchenAid KSRA22CNSS FAQ

KitchenAid places the refrigerator plate inside the refrigerator, on the left wall, so that is where the KSRA22CNSS label will be. It lists the model and the serial on the same silver sticker. Getting the KSRA22CNSS number exactly right matters more on an older cabinet, where parts diverged between otherwise identical-looking siblings.

The KSRA22CNSS is discontinued, but age alone does not decide it. Most of what fails on a KSRA22CNSS 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, the condenser coils and condenser fan on a KSRA22CNSS are the first place to look, because a coil packed with dust makes the compressor work far longer to shed the same heat. A perished door seal on a KSRA22CNSS produces exactly the same symptom, so both are checked together.
