KitchenAid KSSP42MFW05

Model # KSSP42MFW05

The KSSP42MFW05 belongs to KitchenAid’s US refrigerator catalogue, recorded by its source as a 42″ 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.

KSSP42MFW05 is published here exactly as KitchenAid printed it, with the two-digit production-revision code on the end. The bare base KSSP42MFW 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 KSSP42MFW05 string. At this age the work on a KSSP42MFW05 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 KSSP42MFW05 FAQ

The KSSP42MFW05 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 KSSP42MFW05 label is the most reliable thing you can send us.

The KSSP42MFW05 is discontinued and has been for some years, so the honest answer depends on the part. We establish what is actually available for a KSSP42MFW05 before any work is quoted, rather than diagnosing first and discovering afterwards that nothing can be supplied.

With the refrigerator switched off at its supply, a blocked defrost drain is the usual cause on a KSSP42MFW05 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 KSSP42MFW05 is routine work.
