KitchenAid KSSS42FJW

Model # KSSS42FJW

Call (844) 405-1464 Schedule a Visit

The KSSS42FJW belongs to KitchenAid’s US refrigerator catalogue. 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, 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 KSSS42FJW00. A plate reading one of those is still a KSSS42FJW; 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 KSSS42FJW 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 KSSS42FJW FAQ

For a KSSS42FJW, 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 KSSS42FJW cabinet.

The KSSS42FJW is no longer in production. Fans, thermostats, door seals, switches and drain components are generally still obtainable for a cabinet of this generation; cabinet-specific trim and control boards are the ones that dry up. We check sourcing for the KSSS42FJW first and quote second.

With the refrigerator switched off at its supply, a noise on a KSSS42FJW 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 KSSS42FJW carries on regardless of the door, which is how the two are told apart.
