KitchenAid KSSC36QMS

Model # KSSC36QMS

The KSSC36QMS belongs to KitchenAid’s US refrigerator catalogue. It appears on KitchenAid’s US product site in June 2004 and nowhere after that. That dates the machine to around then: discontinued, and now roughly twenty years old. No published specification for this model was recovered, so there is no capacity or dimension quoted on this page. A number lifted from a sibling model would be worse than silence.

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 KSSC36QMS00, KSSC36QMS01, KSSC36QMS02, KSSC36QMS03. A plate reading one of those is still a KSSC36QMS; 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 KSSC36QMS 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

Drain blockage at the back of the freezer floor - a routine clear rather than a sealed-system job

02

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

03

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

04

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

FAQ

KitchenAid KSSC36QMS FAQ

For a KSSC36QMS, look inside the refrigerator, on the left wall. That is the location KitchenAid publishes for its refrigerators, and the label there is the authoritative source for the number - front-panel badging and box labels often differ from what is actually on the KSSC36QMS cabinet.

If a part for the KSSC36QMS cannot be sourced, we tell you at the point we find out and you are not billed for work that cannot be completed. That check comes first on a discontinued model like the KSSC36QMS, not last.

With the refrigerator switched off at its supply, a noise on a KSSC36QMS that stops or changes as the door opens points at the evaporator fan, because the door switch cuts that fan when the door is opened. A condenser fan or compressor noise on a KSSC36QMS carries on regardless of the door, which is how the two are told apart.
