KitchenAid KHMS175M Microwave Hood Repair
The KHMS175M works as both a microwave and the exhaust hood over your cooktop, and it is also sold as KHMS175MBL and KHMS175MSS. That double duty is why we see so many of them with a loud fan: the blower pulls kitchen grease through the filters all day, and once the filters clog the motor strains.
On a KHMS175M visit we begin at the underside. We remove the grease screens and the charcoal filter, look at the blower wheel for buildup, and listen to the motor at each speed. If the filters are saturated, a new set often quiets the fan right away. The microwave side comes second, since a dead oven with a working fan points to the high-voltage section or the control board, which are bench jobs.
You will have a written price before we begin, and our work carries a 30-day workmanship warranty.
Usually the filters are packed with grease, so the blower strains. We clean or renew them, inspect the blower wheel, and listen to the motor to decide if it also needs replacing.
It depends on how much you cook, but a filter that smells or no longer clears odor is spent. We can replace it during any visit and check the grease screens at the same time.
We separate the two systems. The fan runs on its own circuit, so a dead oven points to the door switches, control board or high-voltage section. We test them in that order and quote before replacing.
Book in about a minute, or call the desk. Same-day windows inside the Loop on most days, next-day across the rest of Houston.
