KitchenAid sold the KSSP36MF as part of its US refrigerator range, recorded by its source as a 36″ built-in side-by-side refrigerator in the Superba series. It appears on KitchenAid’s US product site in March 2000 and nowhere after that. That dates the machine to around then: discontinued, and now around a quarter of a century old. Nothing beyond what that source states is claimed here, and no figure has been carried across from a neighbouring model number.
KitchenAid printed the colour and finish numbers KSSP36MFB, KSSP36MFW on the same product page as KSSP36MF. An owner whose plate reads one of those is looking at the same cabinet in a different finish, and is on the right page here. At this age the work on a KSSP36MF 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
A condenser fan that has seized or slowed, which shows first as poor cooling in warm weather
Door hinge and closer wear, so the door sits proud and no longer swings shut on its own
A drain tube silted up with debris, which puts water where it should not be
Sealed-system faults, which we identify plainly rather than repair around
