The KBMC147HWH is a KitchenAid microwave oven sold 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. KitchenAid’s US product site carried it from November 2001 to October 2003, and nothing was captured for it afterwards.
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 KBMC147HWH05. A plate reading one of those is still a KBMC147HWH; the suffix identifies which production revision you have, and it occasionally decides which version of a part fits. That puts the KBMC147HWH two decades or more into use, which is where the door latch, the interlock switches and the turntable drive start to decide how the machine behaves. Discontinued does not mean unrepairable, but it does mean availability of the specific part for a KBMC147HWH is established before any figure is put on the job.
