KitchenAid KSSS36QKW

Model # KSSS36QKW

KitchenAid sold the KSSS36QKW as part of its US refrigerator range. It was on KitchenAid’s US product site from November 2001 to April 2003 and gone after that. That places the machine inside that window: discontinued, and now around a quarter of a century old. No published specification for this model was recovered. Rather than fill the gap with a figure borrowed from a similar-looking number, this page says only what the sources actually carry.

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 KSSS36QKW00, KSSS36QKW01, KSSS36QKW02. A plate reading one of those is still a KSSS36QKW; 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 KSSS36QKW 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

01

Broken crisper runners and door bin lugs - cosmetic, but worth sourcing while parts last

02

Perished door gasket, showing as condensation round the door frame and a compressor that rarely stops

03

Cold control or thermistor drift, so the cabinet either runs warm or over-freezes the top shelf

A weeping inlet valve leaving a slow puddle behind the cabinet that is easy to miss

FAQ

KitchenAid KSSS36QKW FAQ

The KSSS36QKW 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 KSSS36QKW label is the most reliable thing you can send us.

The KSSS36QKW is discontinued and has been for some years, so the honest answer depends on the part. We establish what is actually available for a KSSS36QKW 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 KSSS36QKW 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 KSSS36QKW is routine work.
