KitchenAid KBHC179JSS

Model # KBHC179JSS

The KBHC179JSS belongs to KitchenAid’s US microwave oven catalogue. 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. The archive of KitchenAid’s US product site holds it from November 2001 through to March 2006, and no later capture carries it.

By now a KBHC179JSS is an old machine, and the door latch, the interlock switches and the turntable drive carry most of the wear. Discontinued does not mean unrepairable, but it does mean availability of the specific part for a KBHC179JSS is established before any figure is put on the job.

Key Features

  • No published specification for this model was recovered
  • Recorded on KitchenAid's US product site from November 2001 to March 2006

Most Common Issues on This Model

01

Grease and charcoal filters left unchanged, which shows as poor extraction and a labouring fan

02

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

03

Control board faults after years of heat and grease

04

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

FAQ

KitchenAid KBHC179JSS FAQ

Inside the door is where KitchenAid says the label is, and that holds for the KBHC179JSS. The label there gives the model and the serial. Copying the KBHC179JSS string character by character is worth the extra minute, since one letter separates several different machines.

On a discontinued machine like the KBHC179JSS 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 KBHC179JSS while they are still ordinary parts rather than emergencies.

Usually yes, and it is a membrane rather than the whole oven. With the KBHC179JSS unplugged at the wall, a technician separates the panel from the control to establish which has failed, so only the failed part of a KBHC179JSS is replaced.
