KitchenAid Microwave

KitchenAid KBHS109BSS

Model # KBHS109BSS

KitchenAid sold the KBHS109BSS as part of its US microwave oven range. No published specification for this model was recovered, and none is invented here to fill the space. It was on KitchenAid’s US product site from August 2013 to March 2018 and gone after that.

KitchenAid appends a two-digit production-revision code to the base number on the rating plate, and the codes actually observed for this model are KBHS109BSS00. A plate reading one of those is still a KBHS109BSS; the suffix identifies which production revision you have, and it occasionally decides which version of a part fits. That puts a KBHS109BSS 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. The KBHS109BSS is no longer made, so what can actually be obtained for it is the first thing looked at, not the last.

FAQ

KitchenAid KBHS109BSS FAQ

For a KBHS109BSS, look inside the door. That is the location KitchenAid publishes for its microwave ovens, and the label there is the authoritative source for the number - front-panel badging and box labels often differ from what is actually on the KBHS109BSS.

Sometimes, yes - a discontinued model like the KBHS109BSS can mean waiting on a specialist supplier for an obsolete part. We establish that on a KBHS109BSS before the job starts, so the choice between waiting, substituting where a substitute genuinely exists, and replacing the machine is yours to make with the facts in front of you.

Where filters are fitted, they wash in hot water with detergent and go back dry. With the KBHS109BSS unplugged at the wall, they lift out from underneath. Doing that regularly keeps the fan on a KBHS109BSS from labouring, and it is the one piece of maintenance that makes a real difference.
