KitchenAid KSSP36QFB05

Model # KSSP36QFB05

The KSSP36QFB05 is a US-market KitchenAid refrigerator, recorded by its source as a 36″ built-in side-by-side refrigerator in the Superba series. KitchenAid’s own US product site was showing it in January 2000, and no later listing for it was recovered. That makes it a long-discontinued cabinet, 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.

KSSP36QFB05 is published here exactly as KitchenAid printed it, with the two-digit production-revision code on the end. The bare base KSSP36QFB was never itself observed in any source, so it is not offered as a model number — the form on your rating plate will be the full KSSP36QFB05 string. At this age the work on a KSSP36QFB05 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.

FAQ

KitchenAid KSSP36QFB05 FAQ

Open the fresh food door and look at the left wall - KitchenAid puts the refrigerator model and serial plate inside the refrigerator, on the left wall, and the KSSP36QFB05 is no exception. Having the full KSSP36QFB05 number and the serial to hand is what lets a part be identified before anyone travels out.

The KSSP36QFB05 is no longer in production. Fans, thermostats, door seals, switches and drain components are generally still obtainable for a cabinet of this generation; cabinet-specific trim and control boards are the ones that dry up. We check sourcing for the KSSP36QFB05 first and quote second.

With the refrigerator switched off at its supply, a door on a KSSP36QFB05 that will not close itself is usually a worn hinge or closer cam. It matters because a door left fractionally open runs the compressor continuously and frosts the evaporator, so on a KSSP36QFB05 it turns into a cooling complaint if it is ignored.
