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

Sealed-system faults, which we identify plainly rather than repair around
Defrost faults - heater, thermostat or timer - leaving the evaporator packed with frost and the cabinet slowly warming
