KitchenAid KSSC48FJW

Model # KSSC48FJW

The KSSC48FJW is a KitchenAid refrigerator. It appears on KitchenAid’s US product site in April 2001 and nowhere after that. That dates the machine to around then: discontinued, and now around a quarter of a century 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 KSSC48FJW00. A plate reading one of those is still a KSSC48FJW; 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 KSSC48FJW 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

Perished door gasket, showing as condensation round the door frame and a compressor that rarely stops

02

Cold control or thermistor drift, so the cabinet either runs warm or over-freezes the top shelf

03

A weeping inlet valve leaving a slow puddle behind the cabinet that is easy to miss

04

Start relay failure, which stops a mechanically sound compressor dead

FAQ

KitchenAid KSSC48FJW FAQ

For a KSSC48FJW, 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 KSSC48FJW cabinet.

The KSSC48FJW is no longer in production. Fans, thermostats, door seals, switches and drain components are generally still obtainable for a cabinet of this generation; cabinet-specific trim and control boards are the ones that dry up. We check sourcing for the KSSC48FJW first and quote second.

With the refrigerator switched off at its supply, a noise on a KSSC48FJW 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 KSSC48FJW carries on regardless of the door, which is how the two are told apart.
