KitchenAid KCMS145JBL

Model # KCMS145JBL

The KCMS145JBL is a KitchenAid microwave oven. 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. KitchenAid’s US product site carried it from December 2003 to August 2004, and nothing was captured for it afterwards.

KitchenAid appends a production-revision code to the base number on the rating plate, and the codes actually observed for this model are KCMS145JBL1. A plate reading one of those is still a KCMS145JBL; the suffix identifies which production revision you have, and it occasionally decides which version of a part fits. That puts the KCMS145JBL 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. The KCMS145JBL is discontinued, so the parts question gets answered first and the price second.

FAQ

KitchenAid KCMS145JBL FAQ

No - front badging is a series name, not a model number. The KCMS145JBL number comes off the plate inside the door, and that is the string to work from. Two machines wearing the same front badge can differ in parts, so the KCMS145JBL plate is what settles it.

Often yes, and where they cannot we say so at the point we find out, so you are not billed for work that cannot be completed. That check comes first on a discontinued model like the KCMS145JBL, not last.

It does, because the interlocks depend on the door sitting true. With the KCMS145JBL unplugged at the wall, the hinges and latch of a KCMS145JBL are inspected by a technician. A KCMS145JBL with a door that no longer closes properly should be taken out of use until it has been looked at.
