KEBS278DSS is one of the wall oven model numbers KitchenAid carried in the United States. The source describes the KEBS278DSS as a Superba® 27″ Double Thermal Convection® Oven Upper and Lower – both Self-cleaning. Nothing further about its specification was recovered, so nothing further is stated here. A single dated capture, January 2000, places it on KitchenAid’s US product site, and nothing after that does.
KitchenAid appends a production-revision code to the base number on the rating plate, and the codes actually observed for this model are KEBS278DSS6. A plate reading one of those is still a KEBS278DSS; the suffix identifies which production revision you have, and it occasionally decides which version of a part fits. By now a KEBS278DSS is an old machine, and the door seal, the hinges and the heating elements carry most of the wear. The KEBS278DSS is discontinued, so the parts question gets answered first and the price second.
