KitchenAid KHMS147KSS

Model # KHMS147KSS

The KHMS147KSS is one of the KitchenAid microwave ovens. 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. It sat in KitchenAid’s US catalogue from November 2001 until April 2005, which is the window the archive records.

A KHMS147KSS 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. The KHMS147KSS 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

02

Control board faults after years of heat and grease

03

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

FAQ

KitchenAid KHMS147KSS FAQ

The plate inside the door carries everything needed: the full KHMS147KSS model string and the serial number beside it. With those two, a part for a KHMS147KSS can be identified before anyone travels out, which saves a wasted visit.

The KHMS147KSS is out of production, and whether repair beats replacement comes down to which component has gone. A seal, a switch or a control is usually straightforward economics on a KHMS147KSS; a major assembly on a machine of this age often is not, and we will say which one you are looking at.

Where the unit is installed over a range, grease loading on the fan and filters is the usual cause. With the KHMS147KSS unplugged at the wall, the grease filters can be taken out and washed by an owner. Anything beyond the filters on a KHMS147KSS is technician work, because the casing has to come off.
