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