Find your number below, or read where to find it on the unit. Each page says what that machine is, what tends to go wrong with it, and what the work costs here. 103 — models people ask about by number 3 — counties covered end to end OEM — parts available on order from $95 — diagnostic, credited to the repair ## The numbers people ask us about Each page lists what owners of that model actually search for, what the machine is, and where those symptoms usually lead. No model pages published yet. Call [(305) 306-1328](tel:+13053061328) with the number from the data plate. ## Where the model number is on your unit It depends on the appliance. Inside the fresh food compartment on a refrigerator, usually high on the left or right wall. On the edge of the door on a dishwasher. On the frame inside the door on a wall oven or a range. Behind a filter on a hood. Inside the door frame on a microwave, a washer or a dryer. Behind the grille at the bottom on an undercounter cabinet, and inside the door frame on a wine cellar. Take a photograph rather than writing it down. The full number includes the letters after the digits — those decide which parts fit, and they are the part people misread most often. ## Or start from the symptom If you do not have the number to hand, start from what the unit is doing. Every symptom page says what to check first and when it stops being a five-minute job. ## This is a list of what people ask about, not of what we repair. 103 numbers have pages here because those are the ones people search for by number. We work on the rest of the range as well — the pages simply follow demand rather than the catalog. Tell us the number from the data plate and what the unit is doing, and we will tell you what the machine is, what the symptom usually points at, and what the work involves. **Call [(305) 306-1328](tel:+13053061328)**, or send a photograph of the plate through the form above. ## Questions about models and parts Is a twenty-year-old unit still worth repairing? — Usually, yes. These were built to be repaired, and a legacy cabinet in good condition with sound cabinetry is worth keeping. Where it stops being worth it is when the work approaches what the unit is worth, or when a second major failure is already visible — and we will say so on the visit rather than after. Can you still get parts for the older units? — For most of what fails, yes — OEM parts are available on order, though legacy parts can take a few days to source. That is why we confirm a part is the problem before ordering it rather than after. Why do you not list the specifications for each model? — Because we cannot verify them. Capacity, dimensions and production years published second-hand are wrong often enough that a table of them would be a liability, and inventing one would break our own rule about publishing only what we can stand behind. What we do publish is what the number means for the repair. The number on my unit has letters after it. Does that matter? — Yes, for parts. The digits identify the family; the letters identify the configuration, and two units sharing the same digits can take different components. Photograph the whole plate and we will read it from there. Do you work on the current range as well? — Yes, the whole current range. These pages exist because a number is what people search by; everything else this maker sells is covered on the appliance pages. ## What a KitchenAid model number decides, and what it does not ### On this badge the number does more work than usual The codes here are not this maker’s alone. F8E4 and F6E4 sit at identical addresses under three different names in the same group, and one range service manual carries three of those names in its own title. So a code tells you which circuit reported and almost nothing about which machine you own. The model number on the plate is what closes that gap, and it is why we ask for it before anything else. ### Where the plate is Inside the dishwasher door, on the right-hand edge, visible only with the door open. On the oven door frame, behind the door. Behind the kickplate at the bottom of a range, or on the frame under the control panel. Inside the door opening of a washer or dryer. On the inside wall of a refrigerator, along the upper left. Photograph the whole plate rather than typing it out: the letters after the digits decide which parts fit and they are the half people leave off. ### The first letters say what it is KDT and KDF begin a dishwasher, KRF and KRM a refrigerator, KOS and KOD a wall oven, KMB and KMC a microwave, KCG and KCI a gas and an induction cooktop, KUI and KUW an undercounter ice maker and a wine cellar. That is worth knowing only so you can check you are reading the right plate. Everything after those letters is what a parts counter actually needs. ### There is no series on this site, and that is deliberate Architect Series II survives on two spare-part handles, Superba returns nothing in the maker’s own search, and Pro Line and Design Series are countertop equipment rather than built-in. A page organized by series would be organized by names that no longer identify anything, so this list is organized by number. ### If the plate is unreadable Ordinary near the water, and common in a garage laundry. Send a photograph of whatever is left, with the appliance type and roughly when it was installed, and we narrow it down from the serial or from what is visible. It does not stop a repair, and this list of 103 numbers is what people ask about rather than the limit of what we cover. ## Send the plate, and what it is doing. A photograph of the data plate and a line about the symptom is enough for us to say what is likely and what it should cost. --- **[Read full article: Models archive](https://kitchenaidmiami.support/models-archive/)**
