KitchenAid KCMS2255BSS

Model # KCMS2255BSS

The KCMS2255BSS is a US-market KitchenAid microwave oven. 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 July 2013 to November 2017, 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 KCMS2255BSS0. A plate reading one of those is still a KCMS2255BSS; the suffix identifies which production revision you have, and it occasionally decides which version of a part fits. A KCMS2255BSS in use today is about a decade old, and the door latch, the interlock switches and the turntable drive account for most of what it gets called out for. Discontinued does not mean unrepairable, but it does mean availability of the specific part for a KCMS2255BSS is established before any figure is put on the job.

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 KCMS2255BSS FAQ

KitchenAid places the plate inside the door, so that is where the KCMS2255BSS label will be. Model and serial are printed on the same sticker. Getting the KCMS2255BSS number exactly right matters most on an older machine, where parts diverged between otherwise identical-looking siblings.

Then the job stops there and you are told. The KCMS2255BSS has been out of production for long enough that this is a real possibility on some components, which is why availability for a KCMS2255BSS is checked before a diagnosis is charged for rather than after.

That is typically a thermal protector reacting to a blocked cooling path. With the KCMS2255BSS unplugged at the wall, the external vents and filters of a KCMS2255BSS can be cleared, which sometimes settles it. If a KCMS2255BSS keeps stopping after that, the fault is internal and is a technician's job.
