KitchenAid KMCS522R Air Fry Microwave Service on the Counter

The KMCS522R is a countertop microwave with an air fry function, also sold as KMCS522RPS. Air frying relies on a hot element and a moving fan, so the oven has more working parts than a plain microwave.
When crisping falls short, we test the element and the fan before the microwave circuit. The latch, tray drive and keypad are checked as part of the visit. We give a written price first, and our repairs are covered for 30 days.
Because air frying leaves grease behind, we clean the cavity and the fan area as part of the visit and inspect nearby wiring for heat marks.
