KitchenAid KHMS2056SSS

Model # KHMS2056SSS

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.

FAQ

KitchenAid KHMS2056SSS FAQ

The KHMS2056SSS label sits inside the door, in KitchenAid's own words. It is the adhesive label used across their major appliances and it carries both numbers. A photograph of the KHMS2056SSS label is the most reliable thing you can send us.

Not usually in labour. What age changes on a KHMS2056SSS is the chance that a given part has to come from a specialist supplier rather than off the shelf, and that is established at the outset so the price you are given is the price of the actual job.

It can. A magnetron approaching the end of its life heats slowly and unevenly, which owners usually notice as longer reheating times on a KHMS2056SSS. With the KHMS2056SSS unplugged at the wall, that diagnosis is bench work rather than anything to test at home.
