The KHMS2056SSS is a KitchenAid microwave oven sold in the United States. 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. It sat in KitchenAid’s US catalogue from December 2010 until July 2014, which is the window the archive records.
KitchenAid appends a production-revision code to the base number on the rating plate, and the codes actually observed for this model are KHMS2056SSS0, KHMS2056SSS1, KHMS2056SSS2, KHMS2056SSS3, KHMS2056SSS4. A plate reading one of those is still a KHMS2056SSS; the suffix identifies which production revision you have, and it occasionally decides which version of a part fits. Ten years and more into service, a KHMS2056SSS is at the age where the door latch, the interlock switches and the turntable drive are the usual suspects. Discontinued does not mean unrepairable, but it does mean availability of the specific part for a KHMS2056SSS is established before any figure is put on the job.
