KitchenAid Refrigerator

KitchenAid KSRS22KG

Model # KSRS22KG

The KSRS22KG is a KitchenAid refrigerator, recorded by its source as a side-by-side refrigerator of 21.6 cu. ft. It appears on KitchenAid’s US product site in January 2000 and nowhere after that. That dates the machine to around then: discontinued, and now around a quarter of a century old. Nothing beyond what that source states is claimed here, and no figure has been carried across from a neighbouring model number.

KitchenAid printed the colour and finish numbers KSRS22KGBT, KSRS22KGWH on the same product page as KSRS22KG. An owner whose plate reads one of those is looking at the same cabinet in a different finish, and is on the right page here. At this age the work on a KSRS22KG 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 KSRS22KG 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 KSRS22KG is no exception. Having the full KSRS22KG number and the serial to hand is what lets a part be identified before anyone travels out.

Sometimes, yes - a discontinued model like the KSRS22KG can mean waiting on a specialist supplier for an obsolete part. We establish that on a KSRS22KG before the job starts, so the choice between waiting, substituting where a substitute genuinely exists, and replacing the machine is yours to make with the facts in front of you.

With the refrigerator switched off at its supply, the first things checked on a KSRS22KG are the airflow path from the freezer and the evaporator fan that drives it. A fan that has stopped, or an evaporator frosted over, starves the fresh food side while the freezer carries on as normal. On a KSRS22KG that is component-level work rather than anything to do with the sealed system.
