KitchenAid KHHS179L Microwave Oven Service

KitchenAid microwave

Most common issues on this model

  1. A control board that acts up after years of heat and grease, starting programs by itself or ignoring pads
  2. A restricted cooling-air path that overheats the cabinet
  3. Scorching at the cover inside the cavity
  4. Rubbed-through coating on the cavity floor

Three revision codes are recorded for the KHHS179LBL: KHHS179LBL0, KHHS179LBL2 and KHHS179LBL5. That alone tells us the KHHS179L changed over time, so we read the complete plate before we touch a part.

The control board is the item most affected by those revisions, and it is also the item most hurt by heat and grease. If your oven acts on its own, drops a program, or ignores the pads, we test the board only after clearing the cooling path, because overheating imitates a bad board.

The waveguide cover and the cavity paint complete the inspection. The oven is also sold as the KHHS179LSS and KHHS179LWH. A written price is given first, and the repair carries a 30-day workmanship warranty. If nothing needs replacing, you pay only for the visit that we quoted.

KHHS179LKHHS179L questions
Why do the revision numbers matter for a KHHS179L?

Boards and other parts changed between builds, so the right one depends on the plate. Codes KHHS179LBL0, KHHS179LBL2 and KHHS179LBL5 are on record, so we write down the whole code and order against it.

My oven seems to start programs by itself. Is that the board?

Possibly, though heat or moisture on the board can do the same. We clean the cooling path, inspect the board for residue, and test the pads before replacing anything.

Can a rusty cavity be repaired?

Small spots can be sealed once they are cleaned to bare metal. Anything large, deep, or close to the waveguide is better handled by replacing the oven, and we will tell you plainly which case yours is.
