KitchenAid KSSC48FTS

Model # KSSC48FTS

Call (844) 405-1464 Schedule a Visit

The KSSC48FTS belongs to KitchenAid’s US refrigerator catalogue. 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 KSSC48FTS00, KSSC48FTS02, KSSC48FTS03, KSSC48FTS04, KSSC48FTS15, KSSC48FTS16, KSSC48FTS20. A plate reading one of those is still a KSSC48FTS; 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 KSSC48FTS 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

Evaporator fan bearing wear, ending in a fan that will not start from cold

02

Condenser coils choked with dust and pet hair, making the compressor run longer and hotter than it was meant to

03

Sagging doors and worn hinge cams, which stop the seal meeting the cabinet squarely

04

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

FAQ

KitchenAid KSSC48FTS FAQ

Inside the refrigerator, on the left wall is where KitchenAid says the label is, and that holds for the KSSC48FTS. The adhesive label there gives model and serial. Copying the KSSC48FTS string character by character is worth the extra minute, since one letter separates several different cabinets.

The KSSC48FTS is out of production, and whether repair beats replacement comes down to which component has gone. A seal, a fan or a control is usually straightforward economics; a sealed-system failure on a KSSC48FTS of this age rarely is, and we will tell you so.

With the refrigerator switched off at its supply, brushing and vacuuming the condenser coils on a KSSC48FTS is reasonable owner maintenance and occasionally clears a poor-cooling complaint on its own. If the KSSC48FTS has not recovered its temperature within a day of that, the fault lies elsewhere and is worth looking at properly.
