KitchenAid KEMC308KBT

Model # KEMC308KBT

The KEMC308KBT is one of the KitchenAid microwave ovens. 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. 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 KEMC308KBT04. A plate reading one of those is still a KEMC308KBT; the suffix identifies which production revision you have, and it occasionally decides which version of a part fits. By now a KEMC308KBT is an old machine, and the door latch, the interlock switches and the turntable drive carry most of the wear. Discontinued does not mean unrepairable, but it does mean availability of the specific part for a KEMC308KBT is established before any figure is put on the job.

FAQ

KitchenAid KEMC308KBT FAQ

Inside the door is where KitchenAid says the label is, and that holds for the KEMC308KBT. The label there gives the model and the serial. Copying the KEMC308KBT string character by character is worth the extra minute, since one letter separates several different machines.

On a discontinued machine like the KEMC308KBT 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 KEMC308KBT 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 KEMC308KBT unplugged at the wall, the coupler and the tray are worth checking for damage instead, and a KEMC308KBT with a broken coupler is a small repair rather than a reason to run without the tray.
