The KHMS105ESB is a KitchenAid microwave oven. KitchenAid’s published description of the KHMS105ESB is an Over-the-range Microwave Oven/Hood with 2-speed Exhaust System. No other specification for it survives in the sources used here. KitchenAid’s US product site shows it in March 2000, and no later capture carries it.
The KHMS105ESB 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 KHMS105EAL, KHMS105EBL, KHMS105EWH. A KHMS105ESB 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. Discontinued does not mean unrepairable, but it does mean availability of the specific part for a KHMS105ESB is established before any figure is put on the job.

Most Common Issues on This Model
Cavity paint worn through where dishes rub, which leads to rust at that spot
Keypad legends worn away with use, so the panel is hard to read
A door seal face damaged, which the oven can read as an interlock fault
A magnetron reaching the end of its life, showing as heating that has become slow and uneven
