The KHHS179LSS is a KitchenAid microwave oven sold in the United States. 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 2003 until March 2006, which is the window the archive records.
KitchenAid appends a production-revision code to the base number on the rating plate, and the codes actually observed for this model are KHHS179LSS0, KHHS179LSS1, KHHS179LSS2, KHHS179LSS5. A plate reading one of those is still a KHHS179LSS; the suffix identifies which production revision you have, and it occasionally decides which version of a part fits. A KHHS179LSS 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.
