KitchenAid KMHC319ESS

Model # KMHC319ESS

KMHC319ESS is one of the microwave oven model numbers KitchenAid carried in the United States. 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 July 2015 to September 2015 and gone after that.

That puts a KMHC319ESS 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 KMHC319ESS is established before any figure is put on the job.

FAQ

KitchenAid KMHC319ESS FAQ

KitchenAid gives the location for its microwave ovens as inside the door, and that is where the KMHC319ESS plate sits. It is an adhesive label, typically silver on major appliances, carrying the model number and the serial number together. Read the whole KMHC319ESS string off the label rather than from memory, because it sits in a family of very similar numbers.

Production of the KMHC319ESS 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 KMHC319ESS 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 KMHC319ESS unplugged at the wall, the door latch and interlocks are what a technician checks first. Nothing behind the outer casing of a KMHC319ESS is owner-serviceable, because components in there hold a charge even after the oven is unplugged.
