KitchenAid KCMS1655BSS

Model # KCMS1655BSS

The KCMS1655BSS is a KitchenAid microwave oven. 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. It was on KitchenAid’s US product site from October 2012 to September 2015 and gone after that.

That puts a KCMS1655BSS roughly ten to fifteen years into service, the point at which the door latch, the interlock switches and the turntable drive tend to need attention. Discontinued does not mean unrepairable, but it does mean availability of the specific part for a KCMS1655BSS is established before any figure is put on the job.

FAQ

KitchenAid KCMS1655BSS FAQ

For a KCMS1655BSS, look inside the door. That is the location KitchenAid publishes for its microwave ovens, and the label there is the authoritative source for the number - front-panel badging and box labels often differ from what is actually on the KCMS1655BSS.

Sometimes, yes - a discontinued model like the KCMS1655BSS can mean waiting on a specialist supplier for an obsolete part. We establish that on a KCMS1655BSS before the job starts, so the choice between waiting, substituting where a substitute genuinely exists, and replacing the machine is yours to make with the facts in front of you.

Most often a damaged waveguide cover or metal in the cavity. With the KCMS1655BSS unplugged at the wall, the cavity can be inspected and anything metallic removed. If a KCMS1655BSS still arcs with an empty, clean cavity, it needs a technician and should not be run in the meantime.
