The KTRS22MHWH is one of the KitchenAid refrigerators, recorded by its source as a top-mount refrigerator of 21.6 cu. ft. It appears on KitchenAid’s US product site in January 2000 and nowhere after that. That dates the machine to around then: discontinued, and now around a quarter of a century old. Nothing beyond what that source states is claimed here, and no figure has been carried across from a neighbouring model number.
KTRS22MHWH is one of the colour and finish numbers KitchenAid printed on the same archived product page as KTRS22MH. If the plate in your kitchen reads KTRS22MHWH, this is the right page; if it reads KTRS22MH or one of its siblings (KTRS22MHBL, KTRS22MHBT), the machine underneath is the same cabinet in a different finish. At this age the work on a KTRS22MHWH 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
Compressor start relay and overload faults, heard as a click every few minutes with no cooling following it
Electronic control failure, where the machine runs but no longer answers the panel
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
