KitchenAid KSSS36QJW

Model # KSSS36QJW

Call (844) 405-1464 Schedule a Visit

The KSSS36QJW is a US-market KitchenAid refrigerator. It appears on KitchenAid’s US product site in April 2001 and nowhere after that. That dates the machine to around then: discontinued, and now around a quarter of a century old. No published specification for this model was recovered — no capacity, no width, no feature list — so none is stated here, and no figure has been taken from a neighbouring model number.

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 KSSS36QJW00. A plate reading one of those is still a KSSS36QJW; 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 KSSS36QJW 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 KSSS36QJW 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 KSSS36QJW is no exception. Having the full KSSS36QJW number and the serial to hand is what lets a part be identified before anyone travels out.

Sometimes, yes - a discontinued model like the KSSS36QJW can mean waiting on a specialist supplier for an obsolete part. We establish that on a KSSS36QJW before the job starts, so the choice between waiting, substituting where a substitute genuinely exists, and replacing the machine is yours to make with the facts in front of you.

With the refrigerator switched off at its supply, the first things checked on a KSSS36QJW 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 KSSS36QJW that is component-level work rather than anything to do with the sealed system.
