KitchenAid Refrigerator

KitchenAid KTLA19ELSS

Model # KTLA19ELSS

The KTLA19ELSS is one of the KitchenAid refrigerators. It was on KitchenAid’s US product site from August 2002 to December 2003 and gone after that. That places the machine inside that window: discontinued, and now roughly twenty years old. No published specification for this model was recovered — no capacity, no width, no feature list — so none is stated here, and no figure has been taken from a neighbouring model number.

At this age the work on a KTLA19ELSS 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 KTLA19ELSS FAQ

KitchenAid gives the location for its refrigerators as inside the refrigerator, on the left wall, and that is where the KTLA19ELSS 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 KTLA19ELSS sits in a family of very similar numbers.

Production of the KTLA19ELSS ended long ago. That does not rule out a repair - the wear items on a refrigerator are largely shared across a generation - but it does mean the parts question on a KTLA19ELSS is settled before any figure is put on the work.

With the refrigerator switched off at its supply, frost behind the freezer back panel on a KTLA19ELSS means the defrost cycle is not completing - the heater, the defrost thermostat or the control that times it. Left alone on a KTLA19ELSS, that ice eventually blocks the airflow the fresh food compartment depends on.
