KitchenAid KSSC42QVS

Model # KSSC42QVS

Call (844) 405-1464 Schedule a Visit

The KSSC42QVS is one of the KitchenAid refrigerators. It was on KitchenAid’s US product site from September 2013 to September 2015 and gone after that. That places the machine inside that window: discontinued, and now about a decade into service. 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 KSSC42QVS00, KSSC42QVS01, KSSC42QVS02, KSSC42QVS03, KSSC42QVS10. A plate reading one of those is still a KSSC42QVS; the suffix identifies which production revision you have, and it occasionally decides which version of a part fits. A cabinet of this vintage is past the point where the door seal, the evaporator fan and the defrost components are as-new, and those account for most of what a KSSC42QVS is called out for. Since the model is discontinued, we settle what can still be supplied for it before the work is quoted.

Most Common Issues on This Model

01

A start device that has failed, so the compressor hums briefly and drops out on overload

02

A control board aged out of service, the part most worth checking availability on first

03

Evaporator fan motor noise, or a fan that stops and lets the fresh food side climb while the freezer stays cold

04

Restricted condenser airflow, the commonest reason an older cabinet slowly loses its grip on temperature

FAQ

KitchenAid KSSC42QVS FAQ

The KSSC42QVS 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 KSSC42QVS label is the most reliable thing you can send us.

The KSSC42QVS is discontinued and has been for some years, so the honest answer depends on the part. We establish what is actually available for a KSSC42QVS before any work is quoted, rather than diagnosing first and discovering afterwards that nothing can be supplied.

With the refrigerator switched off at its supply, a blocked defrost drain is the usual cause on a KSSC42QVS 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 KSSC42QVS is routine work.
