The KSSS36FKW is a KitchenAid refrigerator. It was on KitchenAid’s US product site from February 2002 to August 2003 and gone after that. That places the machine inside that window: discontinued, and now roughly twenty years old. No published specification for this model was recovered, so there is no capacity or dimension quoted on this page. A number lifted from a sibling model would be worse than silence.
KitchenAid appends a two-digit production-revision code to the base number on the rating plate, and the codes actually observed for this model are KSSS36FKW00, KSSS36FKW01, KSSS36FKW02. A plate reading one of those is still a KSSS36FKW; the suffix identifies which production revision you have, and it occasionally decides which version of a part fits. At this age the work on a KSSS36FKW 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
Condenser coils choked with dust and pet hair, making the compressor run longer and hotter than it was meant to
Sagging doors and worn hinge cams, which stop the seal meeting the cabinet squarely
Drain blockage at the back of the freezer floor - a routine clear rather than a sealed-system job
Sealed-system problems - a refrigerant leak or a restriction - the one fault worth weighing carefully against the value of the cabinet
