The KSSS48QDX03 is a US-market KitchenAid refrigerator, 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.
KSSS48QDX03 is published here exactly as KitchenAid printed it, with the two-digit production-revision code on the end. The bare base KSSS48QDX 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 KSSS48QDX03 string. At this age the work on a KSSS48QDX03 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
An ice maker that fills but will not eject, or a bin that has frozen into one solid block
Lighting and door-switch problems, worth ruling out before anything is assumed about the cooling side
Cracked door bins and shelf trim, ordinary wear on a cabinet of this age
