KitchenAid KSSS48MDX04

Model # KSSS48MDX04

Call (844) 405-1464 Schedule a Visit

The KSSS48MDX04 belongs to KitchenAid’s US refrigerator catalogue, recorded by its source as a 48″ built-in side-by-side refrigerator in the Superba series. KitchenAid’s own US product site was showing it in November 1999, and no later listing for it was recovered. That makes it a long-discontinued cabinet, 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.

KSSS48MDX04 is published here exactly as KitchenAid printed it, with the two-digit production-revision code on the end. The bare base KSSS48MDX was never itself observed in any source, so it is not offered as a model number — the form on your rating plate will be the full KSSS48MDX04 string. At this age the work on a KSSS48MDX04 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 KSSS48MDX04 FAQ

KitchenAid gives the location for its refrigerators as inside the refrigerator, on the left wall, and that is where the KSSS48MDX04 plate sits. It is an adhesive label, typically silver on major appliances, carrying the model number and the serial number together. Read the whole string off the label rather than from memory, because a KSSS48MDX04 sits in a family of very similar numbers.

If a part for the KSSS48MDX04 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 KSSS48MDX04, not last.

With the refrigerator switched off at its supply, a sudden and total loss of cooling on a KSSS48MDX04 points at the compressor start device or the control rather than gradual wear, since wear-related faults arrive slowly. The distinction matters on a KSSS48MDX04, because one is an inexpensive component and the other decides whether the cabinet is worth keeping.
