Do Not Buy - Buy Something Else
This microwave came with our new home built by "Drees Custom Homes" (in TEXAS) and installed by Professionals in November 2016. All our appliances are Kitchenaid. So, this is less than 2 years today and the microwave stops working. It has power and it runs when you press the start button but it's not warming the food anymore. it's just stopped working in less than two years. We called Kitchenaid Customer Service and obviously, the warranty is only one year so basically we spent $600 for nothing.
If you want to throw $600, or play a lottery with it then go ahead and buy. it.
We are going to shop for a less expensive microwave, for another brand/manufacturer...We have had microwaves in the past, they didn't break for years, we just give them away when we needed something new.
This microwave is not worth the price it's being sold.. it's a comedy.
Thanks.

Stopped working in just 2 years
I bought this oven just over 2 years ago and just after a year the press-button for opening the door broke into half. I was told there is no replacement for it, but the oven was working ok with the portion of the button left on it. Till now- now it's not heating the food although everything else appears fine in terms of settings, buttons, signal, power, turntable etc. However long I keep the food in at full power it's just gets lukewarm at best. I'm told this model has no mfr warranty after 1 year and even spares are not available any more. Model KCMS1655BSS0, Serial # XV 54700113. Installed June 2016. My previous microwave was also a Kitchenaid but is still working after 10 years. Unfortunately it's white and doesn't go with our updated kitchen. Kitchenaid quality seems to have really dropped!

Frustrated with Kitchen Aid
I bought a full suite of kitchen aid products (double oven, dishwasher, fridge and this microwave) for a complete kitchen renovation in 2013. I have had every single one of these appliances serviced - can’t keep count of the dishwasher repairs - since then, and my microwave died (exactly as many reviewers here described) in the last month. I am completely disappointed in this brand and their products, and will never buy another kitchen aid appliance again. Buyer beware!!

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.
