KitchenAid KEMS378GBL

Model # KEMS378GBL

KEMS378GBL is one of the microwave oven model numbers KitchenAid carried in the United States. The one specification line recovered for the KEMS378GBL describes it as a Superba® 27″ Microwave Convection Upper/Convection Lower Oven, and this page does not go beyond it. A single dated capture, January 2000, places it on KitchenAid’s US product site, and nothing after that does.

The KEMS378GBL is a colour or finish variant, printed verbatim on KitchenAid’s archived product page for the KEMS378G. An owner whose plate reads KEMS378G, or one of its other finishes, is looking at the same machine in a different colour. The other finishes printed on that same page are KEMS378GWH. By now a KEMS378GBL is an old machine, and the door latch, the interlock switches and the turntable drive carry most of the wear. The KEMS378GBL is no longer made, so what can actually be obtained for it is the first thing looked at, not the last.

FAQ

KitchenAid KEMS378GBL FAQ

KitchenAid's stated location for its microwave ovens is inside the door, and the KEMS378GBL follows it. The label is the one that matters: it gives the full KEMS378GBL model string and the serial number, which together identify which production revision you have.

It affects supply rather than skill. Most of what fails on a KEMS378GBL is a wear component that is still obtainable, and those repairs stay worthwhile. Where a KEMS378GBL part has genuinely gone out of supply, that is said plainly rather than worked around.

It needs looking at rather than painting over. With the KEMS378GBL unplugged at the wall, the cavity of a KEMS378GBL can be inspected, and a spot where the paint has worn through will keep spreading. Whether a KEMS378GBL is worth recoating or replacing depends on how far it has gone.
