KitchenAid KHMS147HSS

Model # KHMS147HSS

The KHMS147HSS is a KitchenAid microwave oven sold in the United States. No published specification for this model was recovered, and none is invented here to fill the space. It appears on KitchenAid’s US product site in November 2001 and nowhere after that.

KitchenAid appends a production-revision code to the base number on the rating plate, and the codes actually observed for this model are KHMS147HSS2. A plate reading one of those is still a KHMS147HSS; the suffix identifies which production revision you have, and it occasionally decides which version of a part fits. 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 KHMS147HSS is no longer made, so what can actually be obtained for it is the first thing looked at, not the last.

FAQ

KitchenAid KHMS147HSS FAQ

KitchenAid gives the location for its microwave ovens as inside the door, and that is where the KHMS147HSS plate sits. It is an adhesive label, typically silver on major appliances, carrying the model number and the serial number together. Read the whole KHMS147HSS string off the label rather than from memory, because it sits in a family of very similar numbers.

Production of the KHMS147HSS 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 KHMS147HSS is settled before any figure is put on the work.

On some builds the cavity lamp is reachable from inside, but on many it sits behind the casing. With the KHMS147HSS unplugged at the wall, only a lamp accessible from within the cavity should be attempted. Where the lamp in a KHMS147HSS is behind the casing, it is left to a technician for the same high-voltage reason as everything else in there.
