KitchenAid KSSC36QKS

Model # KSSC36QKS

KitchenAid sold the KSSC36QKS as part of its US refrigerator range. It was on KitchenAid’s US product site from October 2001 to August 2003 and gone after that. That places the machine inside that window: 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 KSSC36QKS00, KSSC36QKS01, KSSC36QKS02. A plate reading one of those is still a KSSC36QKS; 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 KSSC36QKS 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 KSSC36QKS FAQ

The KSSC36QKS plate is inside the refrigerator, on the left wall, in KitchenAid's own words. It is the adhesive label used across their major appliances, typically silver, and it carries both numbers. A photograph of the KSSC36QKS label is the most reliable thing you can send us.

The KSSC36QKS is out of production, and whether repair beats replacement comes down to which component has gone. A seal, a fan or a control is usually straightforward economics; a sealed-system failure on a KSSC36QKS of this age rarely is, and we will tell you so.

With the refrigerator switched off at its supply, a blocked defrost drain is the usual cause on a KSSC36QKS rather than a plumbing leak. Meltwater that cannot reach the drain pan backs up onto the cabinet floor and finds its way under the drawers. Clearing the drain on a KSSC36QKS is routine work.
