KitchenAid KSSO42FTX

Model # KSSO42FTX

The KSSO42FTX is one of the KitchenAid refrigerators. It was on KitchenAid’s US product site from September 2013 to June 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. 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 KSSO42FTX00, KSSO42FTX02, KSSO42FTX03, KSSO42FTX04, KSSO42FTX15. A plate reading one of those is still a KSSO42FTX; 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 KSSO42FTX 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

A control reading the cabinet wrongly, so the compressor runs far longer or far shorter than it should

02

Water inlet valve or supply line leaks, where a water feed is plumbed in

A start device that has failed, so the compressor hums briefly and drops out on overload

FAQ

KitchenAid KSSO42FTX FAQ

Inside the refrigerator, on the left wall is where KitchenAid says the label is, and that holds for the KSSO42FTX. The adhesive label there gives model and serial. Copying the KSSO42FTX string character by character is worth the extra minute, since one letter separates several different cabinets.

It is discontinued, so parts availability is the question that decides everything else. We look up what can still be supplied for a KSSO42FTX at the outset, and if the part that has failed cannot be had we say so plainly instead of charging for a diagnosis that leads nowhere.

With the refrigerator switched off at its supply, leaving the KSSO42FTX propped open to the air is sensible if it is no longer holding temperature, because a closed cabinet that is not cooling grows mould quickly. Food safety comes first on a KSSO42FTX as on anything else, and anything that has sat above a safe temperature for hours should go in the bin.
