KitchenAid KBMC140HSS

Model # KBMC140HSS

Call (844) 405-1464 Schedule a Visit

KBMC140HSS is one of the microwave oven model numbers KitchenAid carried in the United States. No published specification for this model was recovered, and none is invented here to fill the space. KitchenAid’s US product site carried it from December 2001 to March 2006, and nothing was captured for it afterwards.

That puts the KBMC140HSS two decades or more into use, which is where the door latch, the interlock switches and the turntable drive start to decide how the machine behaves. The KBMC140HSS is no longer made, so what can actually be obtained for it is the first thing looked at, not the last.

Most Common Issues on This Model

01

Door hinge and latch wear, so the door sits proud of the frame and the interlocks no longer line up

03

Exhaust fan noise or failure, where the unit is installed over a range

04

Grease and charcoal filters left unchanged, which shows as poor extraction and a labouring fan

FAQ

KitchenAid KBMC140HSS FAQ

KitchenAid places the plate inside the door, so that is where the KBMC140HSS label will be. Model and serial are printed on the same sticker. Getting the KBMC140HSS number exactly right matters most on an older machine, where parts diverged between otherwise identical-looking siblings.

Then the job stops there and you are told. The KBMC140HSS has been out of production for long enough that this is a real possibility on some components, which is why availability for a KBMC140HSS is checked before a diagnosis is charged for rather than after.

Usually to the door interlocks rather than to the control. With the KBMC140HSS unplugged at the wall, a technician checks the latch and the interlock chain on a KBMC140HSS first, because a display that lights proves the low-voltage side of a KBMC140HSS is alive.
