KitchenAid sold the KTRA22EMSS as part of its US refrigerator range. It was on KitchenAid’s US product site from February 2004 to April 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. Rather than fill the gap with a figure borrowed from a similar-looking number, this page says only what the sources actually carry.
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 KTRA22EMSS00. A plate reading one of those is still a KTRA22EMSS; 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 KTRA22EMSS 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
Evaporator fan bearing wear, ending in a fan that will not start from cold
Condenser coils choked with dust and pet hair, making the compressor run longer and hotter than it was meant to
Sagging doors and worn hinge cams, which stop the seal meeting the cabinet squarely
Drain blockage at the back of the freezer floor - a routine clear rather than a sealed-system job
