KitchenAid Microwave

KitchenAid KEMC378KSS

Model # KEMC378KSS

The KEMC378KSS is one of the KitchenAid microwave ovens. No published specification for this model was recovered — no dimension, no capacity, no feature list — so none is stated here, and no figure has been taken from a neighbouring model number. It sat in KitchenAid’s US catalogue from November 2001 until April 2005, which is the window the archive records.

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 KEMC378KSS02, KEMC378KSS04. A plate reading one of those is still a KEMC378KSS; the suffix identifies which production revision you have, and it occasionally decides which version of a part fits. A KEMC378KSS still in a kitchen today has twenty-odd years behind it, and that age shows first in the door latch, the interlock switches and the turntable drive. Since the model is out of production, we settle what can still be supplied for it before the work is quoted.

FAQ

KitchenAid KEMC378KSS FAQ

The plate inside the door carries everything needed: the full KEMC378KSS model string and the serial number beside it. With those two, a part for a KEMC378KSS can be identified before anyone travels out, which saves a wasted visit.

The KEMC378KSS is out of production, and whether repair beats replacement comes down to which component has gone. A seal, a switch or a control is usually straightforward economics on a KEMC378KSS; a major assembly on a machine of this age often is not, and we will say which one you are looking at.

A fault that draws current only under load, which is internal. Unplug the KEMC378KSS at the wall and leave it unplugged. The components involved on a KEMC378KSS sit behind the casing and hold a charge, so that diagnosis belongs with a technician rather than with a repeated attempt to run it.
