KitchenAid KEMS308GBL

Model # KEMS308GBL

The KEMS308GBL is one of the KitchenAid microwave ovens. The one specification line recovered for the KEMS308GBL describes it as a Superba® 30″ Microwave Convection Upper/Convection Lower Oven, and this page does not go beyond it. It appears on KitchenAid’s US product site in January 2000 and nowhere after that.

The KEMS308GBL is a colour or finish variant, printed verbatim on KitchenAid’s archived product page for the KEMS308G. An owner whose plate reads KEMS308G, or one of its other finishes, is looking at the same machine in a different colour. The other finishes printed on that same page are KEMS308GWH. A microwave oven of that vintage is two decades or more into service, and the door latch, the interlock switches and the turntable drive are long past as-new. The KEMS308GBL is no longer made, so what can actually be obtained for it is the first thing looked at, not the last.

FAQ

KitchenAid KEMS308GBL FAQ

KitchenAid gives the location for its microwave ovens as inside the door, and that is where the KEMS308GBL plate sits. It is an adhesive label, typically silver on major appliances, carrying the model number and the serial number together. Read the whole KEMS308GBL string off the label rather than from memory, because it sits in a family of very similar numbers.

Production of the KEMS308GBL 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 KEMS308GBL is settled before any figure is put on the work.

It usually means an interlock switch or a high-voltage component has failed. With the KEMS308GBL unplugged at the wall, the door latch and interlocks are what a technician checks first. Nothing behind the outer casing of a KEMS308GBL is owner-serviceable, because components in there hold a charge even after the oven is unplugged.
