KitchenAid KSSC48QKS

Model # KSSC48QKS

The KSSC48QKS is a KitchenAid refrigerator. It was on KitchenAid’s US product site from October 2001 to December 2002 and gone after that. That places the machine inside that window: discontinued, and now around a quarter of a century old. No published specification for this model was recovered. What survives is the model number and a dated record of when KitchenAid was showing it, and that is what is set out here.

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 KSSC48QKS00, KSSC48QKS01, KSSC48QKS02. A plate reading one of those is still a KSSC48QKS; 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 KSSC48QKS 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

Broken crisper runners and door bin lugs - cosmetic, but worth sourcing while parts last

02

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

03

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

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

FAQ

KitchenAid KSSC48QKS FAQ

The KSSC48QKS 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 KSSC48QKS label is the most reliable thing you can send us.

The KSSC48QKS is discontinued, but age alone does not decide it. Most of what fails on a KSSC48QKS is a wear component priced in tens of dollars rather than hundreds, and those repairs stay worthwhile. The exception is the sealed system, where the cost sits close to what the cabinet is worth, and we check the parts position before quoting either way.

With the refrigerator switched off at its supply, the fill valve, the fill tube and the ice maker module on a KSSC48QKS are checked in that order, because a fill tube frozen shut imitates a dead module exactly. The sealed system on a KSSC48QKS is very rarely the reason ice production stops.
