KBHC179JBT is one of the microwave oven model numbers KitchenAid carried in the United States. No published specification for this model was recovered, so there is no dimension or capacity quoted on this page. A number lifted from a sibling model would be worse than silence. It sat in KitchenAid’s US catalogue from November 2003 until August 2004, which is the window the archive records.
A KBHC179JBT still in a kitchen today has twenty-odd years behind it, and that age shows first in the door latch, the interlock switches and the turntable drive. Being out of production, a KBHC179JBT has its parts position checked at the outset rather than after a diagnosis.
