The KHHS179LWH is a KitchenAid microwave oven. 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. A single dated capture, August 2003, places it on KitchenAid’s US product site, and nothing after that does.
KitchenAid appends a production-revision code to the base number on the rating plate, and the codes actually observed for this model are KHHS179LWH0, KHHS179LWH1, KHHS179LWH2, KHHS179LWH5. A plate reading one of those is still a KHHS179LWH; the suffix identifies which production revision you have, and it occasionally decides which version of a part fits. By now a KHHS179LWH is an old machine, and the door latch, the interlock switches and the turntable drive carry most of the wear. The KHHS179LWH is discontinued, so the parts question gets answered first and the price second.

Most Common Issues on This Model
High-voltage component failure, which is bench work for a technician rather than anything an owner can inspect
Control board faults after years of heat and grease
A cooling fan path blocked with grease, so the oven overheats and stops part way through a programme
Waveguide cover degradation inside the cavity, visible as scorching at one spot
