KitchenAid KHHS179LWH

Model # KHHS179LWH

The KHHS179LWH is a KitchenAid microwave oven. 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. A single dated capture, August 2003, places it on KitchenAid’s US product site, and nothing after that does.

KitchenAid appends a production-revision code to the base number on the rating plate, and the codes actually observed for this model are KHHS179LWH0, KHHS179LWH1, KHHS179LWH2, KHHS179LWH5. A plate reading one of those is still a KHHS179LWH; the suffix identifies which production revision you have, and it occasionally decides which version of a part fits. By now a KHHS179LWH is an old machine, and the door latch, the interlock switches and the turntable drive carry most of the wear. The KHHS179LWH is discontinued, so the parts question gets answered first and the price second.

High-voltage component failure, which is bench work for a technician rather than anything an owner can inspect

02

Control board faults after years of heat and grease

03

A cooling fan path blocked with grease, so the oven overheats and stops part way through a programme

Waveguide cover degradation inside the cavity, visible as scorching at one spot

FAQ

KitchenAid KHHS179LWH FAQ

Inside the door is where KitchenAid says the label is, and that holds for the KHHS179LWH. The label there gives the model and the serial. Copying the KHHS179LWH string character by character is worth the extra minute, since one letter separates several different machines.

On a discontinued machine like the KHHS179LWH there is a reasonable case for it: clearing filters, checking seals and confirming the electrical connections are sound is cheap, and it catches the wear items on a KHHS179LWH while they are still ordinary parts rather than emergencies.

It is not advisable on a build designed to use one, because the turntable is what keeps heating even. With the KHHS179LWH unplugged at the wall, the coupler and the tray are worth checking for damage instead, and a KHHS179LWH with a broken coupler is a small repair rather than a reason to run without the tray.
