The new refrigerators, wall ovens, ranges, dishwashers, and cooktops made their first appearance at an event today in New York City. We'd say they mark the debut of the brand's new design language, except that the new appliances are inspired by KitchenAid's iconic stand mixer, whose design dates back to the 1930s.
Consider the handles: They're thin and knurled, just like the controls on the classic stand mixer. The sides of the handles are finished with roundels marked "KitchenAid 1919," a direct shout-out to the date the brand was founded.
The roundels are available in a number of colors, including an eye-catching red. The appliances themselves are now available in a unique finish called Black Stainless, in addition to traditional stainless steel, white, and black.
KitchenAid says the new look is "professionally inspired," yet "warm" and "non-industrial." That marks a departure from other brands, like function ga4_link94() window.dataLayer.push(JSON.parse('"event":"default_event"')) Frigidaire Professional, which recently reintroduced a line of "restaurant-inspired" appliances with a more businesslike appearance.
KitchenAid's makeover comes after Whirlpool started to differentiate its stable of brands. Whereas all five nameplates used to be more clearly related, they now boast distinct identities. Amana is straightforward and affordable, Whirlpool's is clean and modern, Maytag has a more industrial look, and Jenn-Air has gone further upmarket.
I have a Kitchenaid Microwave KEMS378GSS0. So the lights on, the fan's running, and the carousel is turning, but only intermittent heating. Before you jump in with the magnetron needs replacing, please read on. The thing is, I've found pushing on the door handle or a light 'thump', is usually enough to start the microwave heating when it's not (or stop it sometimes, if it was heating.) There's a noticeable 'thrum' (noise of some electrical part engaging) when that happens, even after the microwave has already started. I figure it's either a bad sensor or a mechanical issue like a loose connection or bad switch... but I was hoping to narrow it down before pulling out and apart our 8 year old built-in combination microwave & oven.
I do have some (slight) experience with repair work and circuits, but the expanded parts diagram really doesn't help show how everything is connected. At the moment the best I can come up with is one of the three microswitches that are part of the latching assembly serves as an additional safety keeping the magnetron from engaging and it's going bad?? That's where I'm stuck. It's the best I can guess at, but it doesn't make sense to me why the microwave would come on at all instead of just reporting a door open error if one of the switches was intermittently working.
So I'm here looking for experience with microwaves... Someone familiar with their design and/or repair who might make other suggestions as to what to look for when I do try and fix this beast. Or maybe someone that can confirm if it makes sense that one of the latch microswitches going bad (sticking, whatever) could in fact allow the microwave to come on but not heat up.
For anyone interested, I did finally fix this. Replaced 3 door switches to no avail. Further checking while it was apart revealed that the door wasn't closing 100%, so one of the door switches (interlock #2) wasn't engaging. Top part of door looked spread slightly, which seemed to be what was keeping it from working. Maybe a result of taking the door apart repeatedly to replace the torsion springs. I finally just dremeled the inner edge of the two latches on the door so that the rotating mechanisms that the microswitches sit in could turn an extra mm further. (a little counter-intuitive because the latches first turn the disks inward, but when mostly in the springs push the disks in the other direction so that the latches are then keeping the disks from turning further.) That pretty much did the trick. Not perfect, but the switches do engage 95% of the time when closed. If not and the light's on, a light push or tap is enough for it to register as closed.
PS. As I was trying to fix this, the MW changed to beeping error that the door was open, where before it would actually turn on but magnetron wouldn't engage. With a little searching I found the Buss fuse had also likely failed, probably as a result of my tinkering. Another trip to hardware store for a $3.50 part and it's back to working!
I seen the same thing on mine and I put a band-aid on the door and that kept it out enough to make the switch. I like to get mine fixed because it was a gift from my mom who since passed. It is doing the same thing as yours, heating sometimes and not others.
Larry G, if you have any questions, just let me know. BTW, the problem started up again. The microswitch on the left side of the MW door just wasn't engaging all the time. This time when I took the MW apart I realized there was a 2nd spot where the microswitch could be installed that made it contact a hair sooner than the original position. Moving the switch there has made it work 100% for me once more. Good luck.
I just reread this after some time and wanted to clarify something. When I spoke of using a Dremel on the "inner edge" of the MW door latches, I was referring the the edge closest to the door, or to the user when the door is upright / closed. So, 'inner' was meant only as part of the door, not the MW as a whole. It's clear if you're familiar with how these latches work, but hard to visualize without seeing it yourself. Little plastic wheels with a notch that the latch pushes in. A spring pushes against the wheel first against the latch in one direction, and then in the opposite direction (or pulling the wheel instead of pushing...). Trying to keep the wheel at either extreme. So the latches end up keeping the wheels from turning any further when it's closed. Which is why thinning the latch (on the side closest to the user when upright) will allow the wheels to turn a tiny bit further and engage a switch that isn't quite working.
I was just hoping someone could confirm that something like a bad microswitch in the latch might ONLY stop the magnetron from turning on, but everything else runs as if fine. Or if not, what else might be affected by just pushing on the door.
If I don't hear any other opinions, I'll probably go ahead and order a couple of those switches and plan on switching them out (if I can find the one that's has flaky continuity, or just the ones the look the worst.)
It must be frustrating when you have to answer your own question. My microwave, after working for 10 years, suddenly seems weak. It takes 4 minutes to get 1/2 cup water from cool to lukewarm! All i want to know is if the fact that it still sort of heats (barely) means that the diode and magnetron are ok and the problem is elsewhere?
I'm not particularly familiar with the magnetron's working, but have read they wear out over time. The power shouldn't suddenly get much weaker though, unless something's failed. If it's an older unit (or see a lot of use), there's decent chance the magnetron itself might need replacing. However, it still might be worthwhile to check the power path to the magnetron first. Also, try and listen carefully while it's in operation to make sure the power isn't cycling off and on. Like it might in defrost mode or if some protection circuit is kicking in and turning the magnetron off even though the oven appears to be working.
BTW I have friends that taught at a university in China. They learned to put their cell phones in the microwave (A Faraday cage) to have a conversation that they would not want the government to hear. The cell phone there is alive even when powered off.
@Dan M That's what mine was doing. After about 1.5 minutes on high it would cycle off. At a medium setting, where it's supposed to cycle off and on, after about 2 minutes, it would cycle off and never back on. UNTIL I read your fix.
Then I looked at the door, and long story short, the front part and back part of the door won't screw together tightly because of a small crack. So now I just stand in front of the MW and push against the door to hold it tightly shut while it's in use, and it works fine. :)
