KitchenAid KEMS308S

Model # KEMS308S

KitchenAid sold the KEMS308S as part of its US microwave oven range. No published specification for this model was recovered, so there is no dimension or capacity quoted on this page. A number lifted from a sibling model would be worse than silence. A single dated capture, February 2013, places it on KitchenAid’s US product site, and nothing after that does.

A machine of that age has had enough cycles for the door latch, the interlock switches and the turntable drive to have moved on from new, and that is where diagnosis usually starts on a KEMS308S. Being out of production, a KEMS308S has its parts position checked at the outset rather than after a diagnosis.

Key Features

  • No published specification for this model was recovered

Most Common Issues on This Model

01

Door hinge and latch wear, so the door sits proud of the frame and the interlocks no longer line up

02

Exhaust fan noise or failure, where the unit is installed over a range

03

Grease and charcoal filters left unchanged, which shows as poor extraction and a labouring fan

04

High-voltage component failure, which is bench work for a technician rather than anything an owner can inspect

FAQ

KitchenAid KEMS308S FAQ

Inside the door is where KitchenAid says the label is, and that holds for the KEMS308S. The label there gives the model and the serial. Copying the KEMS308S string character by character is worth the extra minute, since one letter separates several different machines.

On a discontinued machine like the KEMS308S 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 KEMS308S while they are still ordinary parts rather than emergencies.

Usually yes, and it is a membrane rather than the whole oven. With the KEMS308S unplugged at the wall, a technician separates the panel from the control to establish which has failed, so only the failed part of a KEMS308S is replaced.
