KitchenAid KSSC42MFS

Model # KSSC42MFS

Call (844) 405-1464 Schedule a Visit

The KSSC42MFS is one of the KitchenAid refrigerators, recorded by its source as a 42″ built-in side-by-side refrigerator in the Superba series. It appears on KitchenAid’s US product site in January 2000 and nowhere after that. That dates the machine to around then: discontinued, and now around a quarter of a century old. Nothing beyond what that source states is claimed here, and no figure has been carried across from a neighbouring model number.

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 KSSC42MFS05. A plate reading one of those is still a KSSC42MFS; 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 KSSC42MFS 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 KSSC42MFS FAQ

For a KSSC42MFS, 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 KSSC42MFS cabinet.

Production of the KSSC42MFS ended long ago. That does not rule out a repair - the wear items on a refrigerator are largely shared across a generation - but it does mean the parts question on a KSSC42MFS is settled before any figure is put on the work.

With the refrigerator switched off at its supply, a lamp on a KSSC42MFS that stays lit behind a closed door means the door switch has failed. It is worth dealing with, because a lamp burning continuously inside a sealed cabinet puts out enough heat to upset the temperature. On a KSSC42MFS it is a small part and a short job.
