KitchenAid KTRA22ELSS

Model # KTRA22ELSS

The KTRA22ELSS is one of the KitchenAid refrigerators. It was on KitchenAid’s US product site from June 2002 to May 2005 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, so there is no capacity or dimension quoted on this page. A number lifted from a sibling model would be worse than silence.

At this age the work on a KTRA22ELSS 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

Perished door gasket, showing as condensation round the door frame and a compressor that rarely stops

02

Cold control or thermistor drift, so the cabinet either runs warm or over-freezes the top shelf

03

A weeping inlet valve leaving a slow puddle behind the cabinet that is easy to miss

04

Start relay failure, which stops a mechanically sound compressor dead

FAQ

KitchenAid KTRA22ELSS FAQ

For a KTRA22ELSS, 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 KTRA22ELSS cabinet.

If a part for the KTRA22ELSS 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 KTRA22ELSS, not last.

With the refrigerator switched off at its supply, a noise on a KTRA22ELSS 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 KTRA22ELSS carries on regardless of the door, which is how the two are told apart.
