The KHMS147HBL is a US-market KitchenAid microwave oven. No published specification for this model was recovered. What survives is the model number and a dated record of when KitchenAid was showing it, and that is what is set out here. The archive of KitchenAid’s US product site holds it from November 2003 through to December 2003, and no later capture carries it.
KitchenAid appends a production-revision code to the base number on the rating plate, and the codes actually observed for this model are KHMS147HBL2. A plate reading one of those is still a KHMS147HBL; the suffix identifies which production revision you have, and it occasionally decides which version of a part fits. By now a KHMS147HBL is an old machine, and the door latch, the interlock switches and the turntable drive carry most of the wear. Discontinued does not mean unrepairable, but it does mean availability of the specific part for a KHMS147HBL is established before any figure is put on the job.
