KEBS179BSS is one of the wall oven model numbers KitchenAid carried in the United States. No published specification for this model was recovered — no dimension, no capacity, no feature list — so none is stated here, and no figure has been taken from a neighbouring model number. It sat in KitchenAid’s US catalogue from June 2014 until August 2014, which is the window the archive records.
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 KEBS179BSS00. A plate reading one of those is still a KEBS179BSS; the suffix identifies which production revision you have, and it occasionally decides which version of a part fits. Ten years and more into service, a KEBS179BSS is at the age where the door seal, the hinges and the heating elements are the usual suspects. Since the model is out of production, we settle what can still be supplied for it before the work is quoted.

Most Common Issues on This Model
A failed bake or broil element, often visible as a break or a blistered section on the element itself
Oven temperature sensor drift, so the cavity runs hot or cold against the temperature set
Door hinge wear, which lets heat escape at the top of the door and upsets the cavity temperature
A door lock motor or switch stuck after a self-clean cycle, leaving the door latched shut
