Not working in less than two years of use
We bought a brand new house in 2016 and few weeks ago the microwave started sparkling every time it is in use. A technician checked it out and it Is a defective part. Went around looking for the replacement of the whole thing and seems discontinued? Disappointing. I thought kitchenaid was a good brand

Don't waste your time
Bought it as part of a large kitchen remodel. Had it 14 months and it stopped working. Timer still counts down but microwave doesn't work. Called Kitchenaid, they stiffed me saying it was out of warranty by 2 months. Their solution - go to the outlet web site for a good deal on a replacement. Disappointing that someone as "reputable" as KitchenAid accepts the fact that their product doesn't last more than 15 months and isn't willing to stand behind it. Never make that mistake again.

Broken
Bought this unit several years ago and it started arching this weekend. We have bought several Kitchen Aide products and have not had luck with them. Shortly after this purchase had problems with the door opening. I have kept the unit clean. We have had to replace the dishwasher and stove at separate times. Wishing I had changed brands but wanted appliances to match. I am very disappointed in the kitchen aide brand overall.

Broken / not heating after 2 years.
I bought this on March 23rd of 2016 with the trim kit for over $400. The door button sometimes does not open the door, however, mechanically, overall it has worked fine, until this week. It will literally not heat up anything.

Broke after 2 years...
I paid over $500 for this microwave and it broke after two years. Manufactured January 2016. Microwave severely overheated to dangerous levels and stopped working. Had repairman over and he said replacement parts not available. Severely disappointed. Bought all kitchenaid appliances for my kitchen and now I'm worried about quality of the other appliances too. Looks great but that doesn't matter if it doesn't work. I would not recommend.

Broke after 4 years
We had this unit installed during a remodel a few years ago. It started arcing internally a few days ago, even though it was thoroughly cleaned. The repairman said it wasn't worth fixing. For this price, I'd have expected more.

Do not buy. Bad quality.
Microwave came with my new house. This microwave must have been discounted. Low quality.

Do not buy
Have had issues with a Whirlpool three door, bottom freezer refrigerator ice since the day we first tried to use it. Now after about 30 months we have a KitchenAid (Whirlpool) microwave with built in surround that has quit working. Everything works but the heating mode. Very unhappy with the quality of appliances installed in our new home and initially used in Sept of 2015.

Horrible!! Don’t buy one!
Purchased a manufactured home with this microwave built in. In less than a year 1 didn’t work at all, got another, it didn’t work either manufacturer sent another worked but carousel wouldn’t rotate. The manufacturer sent another haven’t had it 3 months doesn’t work I’ve thrown 4 brand new microwaves in the trash!! at this point I’m done and will purchase another brand to fit in that spot. Note all my appliances came with warranty not worth the paper it’s written on!! Frigidaire sucks!!

Buyer beware
Like a lot of other reviews on this site, my microwave failed after a little more than two years. Pretty amazing for a $500 microwave, when most cost so much less than this. I had an authorized service technician come, who explained (for $109) that it was un-fixable. I too am saddled with a customized trim kit. Ironically, as I wait on hold with customer service (now 22 minutes), they are playing Blues Traveler's "Run Around."
