KitchenAid KEMS308SSS

Model # KEMS308SSS

The KEMS308SSS 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. It was on KitchenAid’s US product site from December 2011 to May 2017 and gone after that.

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 KEMS308SSS02, KEMS308SSS03, KEMS308SSS04. A plate reading one of those is still a KEMS308SSS; the suffix identifies which production revision you have, and it occasionally decides which version of a part fits. That puts a KEMS308SSS roughly ten to fifteen years into service, the point at which the door latch, the interlock switches and the turntable drive tend to need attention. Discontinued does not mean unrepairable, but it does mean availability of the specific part for a KEMS308SSS is established before any figure is put on the job.

FAQ

KitchenAid KEMS308SSS FAQ

For a KEMS308SSS, look inside the door. That is the location KitchenAid publishes for its microwave ovens, and the label there is the authoritative source for the number - front-panel badging and box labels often differ from what is actually on the KEMS308SSS.

Sometimes, yes - a discontinued model like the KEMS308SSS can mean waiting on a specialist supplier for an obsolete part. We establish that on a KEMS308SSS before the job starts, so the choice between waiting, substituting where a substitute genuinely exists, and replacing the machine is yours to make with the facts in front of you.

Where filters are fitted, they wash in hot water with detergent and go back dry. With the KEMS308SSS unplugged at the wall, they lift out from underneath. Doing that regularly keeps the fan on a KEMS308SSS from labouring, and it is the one piece of maintenance that makes a real difference.
