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
Sealed-system problems - a refrigerant leak or a restriction - the one fault worth weighing carefully against the value of the cabinet
A defrost cycle that has stopped running, so ice builds behind the freezer back panel until airflow chokes
Ice production tailing off - usually the fill valve, a fill tube frozen shut, or the module itself
Door switch and interior lighting faults, including a lamp that stays lit with the door shut
