The KEMS309BSS is one of the KitchenAid microwave ovens. No published specification for this model was recovered. Rather than fill the gap with a figure borrowed from a similar-looking number, this page says only what the sources actually carry. The archive of KitchenAid’s US product site holds it from July 2013 through to February 2016, 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 KEMS309BSS00. A plate reading one of those is still a KEMS309BSS; the suffix identifies which production revision you have, and it occasionally decides which version of a part fits. 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 KEMS309BSS. The KEMS309BSS is discontinued, so the parts question gets answered first and the price second.
