Most common issues on this model

  1. Cooking that stops part way through because greasy fins and vents trap heat
  2. A scorched patch on the cover inside the cavity wall
  3. Rust forming where the cavity coating has rubbed through
  4. Panel legends erased by use

An oven that quits in the middle of a long program and then starts working again later is overheating, and the KCMS1655B, also sold as the KCMS1655BBL and KCMS1655BSS, does it when its cooling path fills with grease.

To find out, we remove the cover and follow the air from the intake to the exhaust slots. Grease turns to a sticky mat, and the fan can no longer push enough air through. We clean the path, test the fan motor and check the thermal protector that trips when heat builds.

While the cover is off, we look at the waveguide cover for scorching and the cavity for worn paint. The keypad is tested pad by pad. You see a written price first, and a 30-day workmanship warranty covers what we do.

KCMS1655BKCMS1655B questions
Why does my KCMS1655B stop and restart by itself?

A thermal protector is shutting it down when heat builds, and later resetting as it cools. Clearing grease from the fan path and vents usually fixes the cause.

Is a worn cavity coating a safety matter?

A small spot can be sealed. But bare metal that rusts can spark, so we inspect it and tell you plainly whether to treat the spot or replace the oven.

Do the BL and SS versions share parts?

Yes. The KCMS1655BBL and KCMS1655BSS belong to the same KCMS1655B base model, so the fan, the waveguide cover and the board are shared. Only trim differs, and we match that from the rating plate.
