KitchenAid KTRC22EKSS

Model # KTRC22EKSS

The KTRC22EKSS is a KitchenAid refrigerator. It was on KitchenAid’s US product site from April 2001 to April 2002 and gone after that. That places the machine inside that window: discontinued, and now around a quarter of a century 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 KTRC22EKSS00. A plate reading one of those is still a KTRC22EKSS; 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 KTRC22EKSS 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 KTRC22EKSS FAQ

The KTRC22EKSS plate is inside the refrigerator, on the left wall, in KitchenAid's own words. It is the adhesive label used across their major appliances, typically silver, and it carries both numbers. A photograph of the KTRC22EKSS label is the most reliable thing you can send us.

The KTRC22EKSS is discontinued and has been for some years, so the honest answer depends on the part. We establish what is actually available for a KTRC22EKSS 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, a blocked defrost drain is the usual cause on a KTRC22EKSS rather than a plumbing leak. Meltwater that cannot reach the drain pan backs up onto the cabinet floor and finds its way under the drawers. Clearing the drain on a KTRC22EKSS is routine work.
