KitchenAid KSSO48FTX

Model # KSSO48FTX

The KSSO48FTX is a US-market KitchenAid refrigerator. It was on KitchenAid’s US product site from September 2012 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. 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 KSSO48FTX00, KSSO48FTX02, KSSO48FTX03, KSSO48FTX04, KSSO48FTX16. A plate reading one of those is still a KSSO48FTX; 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 KSSO48FTX is called out for. Since the model is discontinued, we settle what can still be supplied for it before the work is quoted.

FAQ

KitchenAid KSSO48FTX FAQ

The KSSO48FTX 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 KSSO48FTX label is the most reliable thing you can send us.

The KSSO48FTX 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 KSSO48FTX of this age rarely is, and we will tell you so.

With the refrigerator switched off at its supply, a blocked defrost drain is the usual cause on a KSSO48FTX rather than a plumbing leak. Meltwater that cannot reach the drain pan backs up onto the cabinet floor and finds its way under the drawers. Clearing the drain on a KSSO48FTX is routine work.
