KitchenAid KSSS48QJW

Model # KSSS48QJW

KitchenAid sold the KSSS48QJW as part of its US refrigerator range. 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 KSSS48QJW00. A plate reading one of those is still a KSSS48QJW; 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 KSSS48QJW 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

Drain blockage at the back of the freezer floor - a routine clear rather than a sealed-system job

02

Sealed-system problems - a refrigerant leak or a restriction - the one fault worth weighing carefully against the value of the cabinet

03

A defrost cycle that has stopped running, so ice builds behind the freezer back panel until airflow chokes

04

Ice production tailing off - usually the fill valve, a fill tube frozen shut, or the module itself

FAQ

KitchenAid KSSS48QJW FAQ

For a KSSS48QJW, 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 KSSS48QJW cabinet.

The KSSS48QJW 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 KSSS48QJW first and quote second.

With the refrigerator switched off at its supply, a noise on a KSSS48QJW 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 KSSS48QJW carries on regardless of the door, which is how the two are told apart.
