KitchenAid KSSP48QFB

Model # KSSP48QFB

Call (844) 405-1464 Schedule a Visit

The KSSP48QFB is one of the KitchenAid refrigerators, recorded by its source as a 48″ 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.

KSSP48QFB is one of the colour and finish numbers KitchenAid printed on the same archived product page as KSSP48QF. If the plate in your kitchen reads KSSP48QFB, this is the right page; if it reads KSSP48QF or one of its siblings (KSSP48QFS, KSSP48QFW), the machine underneath is the same cabinet in a different finish. At this age the work on a KSSP48QFB 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 KSSP48QFB 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 KSSP48QFB is no exception. Having the full KSSP48QFB number and the serial to hand is what lets a part be identified before anyone travels out.

Production of the KSSP48QFB ended long ago. That does not rule out a repair - the wear items on a refrigerator are largely shared across a generation - but it does mean the parts question on a KSSP48QFB is settled before any figure is put on the work.

With the refrigerator switched off at its supply, the first things checked on a KSSP48QFB are the airflow path from the freezer and the evaporator fan that drives it. A fan that has stopped, or an evaporator frosted over, starves the fresh food side while the freezer carries on as normal. On a KSSP48QFB that is component-level work rather than anything to do with the sealed system.
