KitchenAid KSSC48QVS

Model # KSSC48QVS

KitchenAid sold the KSSC48QVS as part of its US refrigerator range. It was on KitchenAid’s US product site from July 2010 to September 2015 and gone after that. That places the machine inside that window: discontinued, and now getting on for fifteen years old. 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 KSSC48QVS00, KSSC48QVS01, KSSC48QVS02, KSSC48QVS03, KSSC48QVS05, KSSC48QVS10. A plate reading one of those is still a KSSC48QVS; 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 KSSC48QVS 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

Door hinge and closer wear, so the door sits proud and no longer swings shut on its own

02

A drain tube silted up with debris, which puts water where it should not be

03

Sealed-system faults, which we identify plainly rather than repair around

04

Defrost faults - heater, thermostat or timer - leaving the evaporator packed with frost and the cabinet slowly warming

FAQ

KitchenAid KSSC48QVS FAQ

KitchenAid places the refrigerator plate inside the refrigerator, on the left wall, so that is where the KSSC48QVS label will be. It lists the model and the serial on the same silver sticker. Getting the KSSC48QVS number exactly right matters more on an older cabinet, where parts diverged between otherwise identical-looking siblings.

The KSSC48QVS is discontinued and has been for some years, so the honest answer depends on the part. We establish what is actually available for a KSSC48QVS 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, and the water line closed where one is fitted, a KSSC48QVS comes forward on its rollers once the front levelling feet are wound up clear of the floor. Taking the weight off those feet first is what prevents a scored floor and a strained door frame on a KSSC48QVS.
