KitchenAid KSSP48QFW

Model # KSSP48QFW

The KSSP48QFW is a US-market KitchenAid refrigerator, 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.

KSSP48QFW 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 KSSP48QFW, this is the right page; if it reads KSSP48QF or one of its siblings (KSSP48QFB, KSSP48QFS), the machine underneath is the same cabinet in a different finish. At this age the work on a KSSP48QFW 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 KSSP48QFW FAQ

For a KSSP48QFW, look inside the refrigerator, on the left wall. That is the location KitchenAid publishes for its refrigerators, and the label there is the authoritative source for the number - front-panel badging and box labels often differ from what is actually on the KSSP48QFW cabinet.

If a part for the KSSP48QFW cannot be sourced, we tell you at the point we find out and you are not billed for work that cannot be completed. That check comes first on a discontinued model like the KSSP48QFW, not last.

With the refrigerator switched off at its supply, a noise on a KSSP48QFW that stops or changes as the door opens points at the evaporator fan, because the door switch cuts that fan when the door is opened. A condenser fan or compressor noise on a KSSP48QFW carries on regardless of the door, which is how the two are told apart.
