Q: QuestionMy KitchenAid KCMS185JSS-3 release latch just broke and it appears the parts are discontinued. What replacement microwave would have the same dimensions as my old one? It is installed in a cabinet so I need it to fit in the same trim kit if possible.

Asked 3 years ago by cm9901.

• A:Answer The KMCS1016GSS 1.6 cuft microwave is close enough in dimensions (it's 1/4" higher) to fit in the same trim kit as my previous convection model. However, I warn you that I have gone through several "new" units since the convection MW failed. There were problems due to mishandled shipping, sending an inoperative used unit and extremely uneven heating after iinstallation. I'm supposed to be picking up another one tomorrow at Best Buy - this time I will open and test it in their presence!

Q: QuestionI am looking for a microwave that includes a probe so a product can be heated to a precise temperature. Is this what you mean by "Sensor Cooking"?

Asked 3 years ago by Queen.

• A:Answer Queen, this KitchenAid® Microwave does not include a probe. The sensor cooking means that the Microwave will automatically adjust the cooking time based on a menu of preprogrammed menu driven cycles. We hope this helps!

Q: QuestionIf we replace a KCMS185J microwave with KMCS1016GSS, will the trim kit we have - MK1197XHS- fit? Thank you.

Asked 5 years ago by Sue.

• A:Answer The KCMS185J unit has dimensions HxWxD 13 9/16x18 13/16x23 7/8 and the KMCS1016GSS unit has dimensions 13x17 1/4x21 3/4. I could not find the center opening dimensions of your trim kit but it seems from the microwave dimensions that the KMCS1026GSS has smaller size than your original unit. The new unit should fit but will have extra space around the sides and top where you will be able to see into the opening the trim kit is surrounding. The other thing you should consider is the finish of the trim kit compared to the finish of the microwave unit you are considering.
