KitchenAid Range

KitchenAid KIRS608BSS

Model # KIRS608BSS

The KIRS608BSS is one of the KitchenAid ranges. 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. It was on KitchenAid’s US product site from November 2014 to May 2016 and gone after that.

KitchenAid appends a production-revision code to the base number on the rating plate, and the codes actually observed for this model are KIRS608BSS0. A plate reading one of those is still a KIRS608BSS; the suffix identifies which production revision you have, and it occasionally decides which version of a part fits. That puts a KIRS608BSS roughly ten to fifteen years into service, the point at which the door seal, the oven sensing and the surface controls tend to need attention. The KIRS608BSS is discontinued, so the parts question gets answered first and the price second.

FAQ

KitchenAid KIRS608BSS FAQ

KitchenAid gives the location for its ranges as inside the oven's door, and that is where the KIRS608BSS plate sits. It is an adhesive label, typically silver on major appliances, carrying the model number and the serial number together. Read the whole KIRS608BSS string off the label rather than from memory, because it sits in a family of very similar numbers.

Production of the KIRS608BSS ended some time ago. That does not rule out a repair - the wear items are largely shared across a generation - but it does mean the parts question on a KIRS608BSS is settled before any figure is put on the work.

With the range switched off at its supply, the oven temperature sensor on a KIRS608BSS is the first part measured, because a drifted sensor makes the control heat to the wrong figure. Only once the sensor on a KIRS608BSS has been proved are the heating components considered.
