KitchenAid KSSC36FJW

Model # KSSC36FJW

The KSSC36FJW belongs to KitchenAid’s US refrigerator catalogue. It appears on KitchenAid’s US product site in April 2001 and nowhere after that. That dates the machine to around then: discontinued, and now around a quarter of a century old. No published specification for this model was recovered. Rather than fill the gap with a figure borrowed from a similar-looking number, this page says only what the sources actually carry.

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 KSSC36FJW00. A plate reading one of those is still a KSSC36FJW; 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 KSSC36FJW 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.

Most Common Issues on This Model

01

Sealed-system problems - a refrigerant leak or a restriction - the one fault worth weighing carefully against the value of the cabinet

02

A defrost cycle that has stopped running, so ice builds behind the freezer back panel until airflow chokes

03

Ice production tailing off - usually the fill valve, a fill tube frozen shut, or the module itself

04

Door switch and interior lighting faults, including a lamp that stays lit with the door shut

FAQ

KitchenAid KSSC36FJW FAQ

KitchenAid places the refrigerator plate inside the refrigerator, on the left wall, so that is where the KSSC36FJW label will be. It lists the model and the serial on the same silver sticker. Getting the KSSC36FJW number exactly right matters more on an older cabinet, where parts diverged between otherwise identical-looking siblings.

The KSSC36FJW is discontinued and has been for some years, so the honest answer depends on the part. We establish what is actually available for a KSSC36FJW before any work is quoted, rather than diagnosing first and discovering afterwards that nothing can be supplied.

With the refrigerator switched off at its supply, and the water line closed where one is fitted, a KSSC36FJW comes forward on its rollers once the front levelling feet are wound up clear of the floor. Taking the weight off those feet first is what prevents a scored floor and a strained door frame on a KSSC36FJW.
