KitchenAid KEMS379BWH

Model # KEMS379BWH

KEMS379BWH is one of the microwave oven model numbers KitchenAid carried in the United States. 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 sat in KitchenAid’s US catalogue from September 2013 until April 2015, 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 KEMS379BWH00. A plate reading one of those is still a KEMS379BWH; 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 KEMS379BWH is at the age where the door latch, the interlock switches and the turntable drive are the usual suspects. The KEMS379BWH is discontinued, so the parts question gets answered first and the price second.

FAQ

KitchenAid KEMS379BWH FAQ

The KEMS379BWH label sits inside the door, in KitchenAid's own words. It is the adhesive label used across their major appliances and it carries both numbers. A photograph of the KEMS379BWH label is the most reliable thing you can send us.

Not usually in labour. What age changes on a KEMS379BWH is the chance that a given part has to come from a specialist supplier rather than off the shelf, and that is established at the outset so the price you are given is the price of the actual job.

It can. A magnetron approaching the end of its life heats slowly and unevenly, which owners usually notice as longer reheating times on a KEMS379BWH. With the KEMS379BWH unplugged at the wall, that diagnosis is bench work rather than anything to test at home.
