KitchenAid KTRA19ELSS

Model # KTRA19ELSS

The KTRA19ELSS is one of the KitchenAid refrigerators. It was on KitchenAid’s US product site from June 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. Rather than fill the gap with a figure borrowed from a similar-looking number, this page says only what the sources actually carry.

At this age the work on a KTRA19ELSS 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.

Start relay failure, which stops a mechanically sound compressor dead

Control board faults after many years of service, showing as a cabinet that ignores its settings

FAQ

KitchenAid KTRA19ELSS FAQ

KitchenAid places the refrigerator plate inside the refrigerator, on the left wall, so that is where the KTRA19ELSS label will be. It lists the model and the serial on the same silver sticker. Getting the KTRA19ELSS number exactly right matters more on an older cabinet, where parts diverged between otherwise identical-looking siblings.

The KTRA19ELSS is discontinued and has been for some years, so the honest answer depends on the part. We establish what is actually available for a KTRA19ELSS before any work is quoted, rather than diagnosing first and discovering afterwards that nothing can be supplied.

With the refrigerator switched off at its supply, and the water line closed where one is fitted, a KTRA19ELSS comes forward on its rollers once the front levelling feet are wound up clear of the floor. Taking the weight off those feet first is what prevents a scored floor and a strained door frame on a KTRA19ELSS.
