KitchenAid KTRS19KMSS

Model # KTRS19KMSS

The KTRS19KMSS is a US-market KitchenAid refrigerator. It was on KitchenAid’s US product site from April 2004 to August 2004 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. What survives is the model number and a dated record of when KitchenAid was showing it, and that is what is set out here.

At this age the work on a KTRS19KMSS 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 KTRS19KMSS FAQ

KitchenAid places the refrigerator plate inside the refrigerator, on the left wall, so that is where the KTRS19KMSS label will be. It lists the model and the serial on the same silver sticker. Getting the KTRS19KMSS number exactly right matters more on an older cabinet, where parts diverged between otherwise identical-looking siblings.

It is discontinued, so parts availability is the question that decides everything else. We look up what can still be supplied for a KTRS19KMSS at the outset, and if the part that has failed cannot be had we say so plainly instead of charging for a diagnosis that leads nowhere.

With the refrigerator switched off at its supply, the condenser coils and condenser fan on a KTRS19KMSS are the first place to look, because a coil packed with dust makes the compressor work far longer to shed the same heat. A perished door seal on a KTRS19KMSS produces exactly the same symptom, so both are checked together.
