KitchenAid KHMS105EAL

Model # KHMS105EAL

The KHMS105EAL is a US-market KitchenAid microwave oven. The source describes the KHMS105EAL as an Over-the-range Microwave Oven/Hood with 2-speed Exhaust System. Nothing further about its specification was recovered, so nothing further is stated here. It appears on KitchenAid’s US product site in March 2000 and nowhere after that.

The KHMS105EAL is a colour or finish variant, printed verbatim on KitchenAid’s archived product page for the KHMS105E. An owner whose plate reads KHMS105E, 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 KHMS105EBL, KHMS105ESB, KHMS105EWH. A microwave oven of that vintage is two decades or more into service, and the door latch, the interlock switches and the turntable drive are long past as-new. The KHMS105EAL is discontinued, so the parts question gets answered first and the price second.

Keypad legends worn away with use, so the panel is hard to read

A magnetron reaching the end of its life, showing as heating that has become slow and uneven

A door interlock switch that has failed, so the oven lights and runs its fan but will not heat

FAQ

KitchenAid KHMS105EAL FAQ

KitchenAid gives the location for its microwave ovens as inside the door, and that is where the KHMS105EAL plate sits. It is an adhesive label, typically silver on major appliances, carrying the model number and the serial number together. Read the whole KHMS105EAL string off the label rather than from memory, because it sits in a family of very similar numbers.

Production of the KHMS105EAL ended some time ago. That does not rule out a repair - the wear items are largely shared across a generation - but it does mean the parts question on a KHMS105EAL is settled before any figure is put on the work.

It usually means an interlock switch or a high-voltage component has failed. With the KHMS105EAL unplugged at the wall, the door latch and interlocks are what a technician checks first. Nothing behind the outer casing of a KHMS105EAL is owner-serviceable, because components in there hold a charge even after the oven is unplugged.
