KitchenAid Microwave

KitchenAid KBMC147HBT

Model # KBMC147HBT

KitchenAid sold the KBMC147HBT as part of its US microwave oven range. No published specification for this model was recovered. Rather than fill the gap with a figure borrowed from a similar-looking number, this page says only what the sources actually carry. The archive of KitchenAid’s US product site holds it from November 2003 through to August 2004, and no later capture carries it.

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 KBMC147HBT05. A plate reading one of those is still a KBMC147HBT; the suffix identifies which production revision you have, and it occasionally decides which version of a part fits. By now a KBMC147HBT is an old machine, and the door latch, the interlock switches and the turntable drive carry most of the wear. The KBMC147HBT is discontinued, so the parts question gets answered first and the price second.

FAQ

KitchenAid KBMC147HBT FAQ

Inside the door is where KitchenAid says the label is, and that holds for the KBMC147HBT. The label there gives the model and the serial. Copying the KBMC147HBT string character by character is worth the extra minute, since one letter separates several different machines.

On a discontinued machine like the KBMC147HBT 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 KBMC147HBT while they are still ordinary parts rather than emergencies.

It is not advisable on a build designed to use one, because the turntable is what keeps heating even. With the KBMC147HBT unplugged at the wall, the coupler and the tray are worth checking for damage instead, and a KBMC147HBT with a broken coupler is a small repair rather than a reason to run without the tray.
