KitchenAid KMHS120EWH11 / KMHS120ESS11 filters, rack, and turntable parts
KitchenAid Repair Parts List W11550073 Rev. A explicitly covers the full KMHS120EWH11 and KMHS120ESS11 model variants. It lists grease filter W10208631, charcoal filter 8206230, microwave rack W10637159, turntable W11358813, ring W11193601, and driver W11193599. KitchenAid's current Owner Center for base model KMHS120ESS lists charcoal accessory 8206230A, but the inspected page does not document a direct supersession from the printed 8206230 or establish fit for the white variant. Keep both receipts visible and verify the complete label/serial with KitchenAid before treating the numbers as interchangeable.
Safety boundary
- Limit this guide to owner-level filter, rack, and turntable care described in the KitchenAid User Guide. The guide says the charcoal filter cannot be cleaned, the grease filters are on the underside, and the rack should be used only for two-level cooking and removed afterward.
- The KitchenAid guide states that microwave service should be performed only by qualified service personnel. Do not remove the outer cabinet or attempt internal electrical, magnetron, or high-voltage repair.
- If any component does not seat normally, or the exact serial/part mapping is unclear, stop and ask KitchenAid before forcing a part.
Compatibility requires a direct model listing, explicit supersession, or equivalent manufacturer evidence.

Required identifiers
- Complete model label: KMHS120EWH11 (white) or KMHS120ESS11 (stainless); include the final two digits
- Identify the needed component: grease filter, charcoal filter, microwave rack, glass turntable, ring, or turntable driver
- Record any existing part marking and serial number, then verify it against KitchenAid's current parts lookup before ordering
Compatibility rules
- KitchenAid Repair Parts List W11550073 Rev. A explicitly names KMHS120EWH11 and KMHS120ESS11 and maps W10208631 grease filter, 8206230 charcoal filter, W10637159 rack, W11358813 turntable, W11193601 ring, and W11193599 driver to that listed model set.
- KitchenAid's current Owner Center page for base model KMHS120ESS lists charcoal filter accessory 8206230A. The page does not explicitly say that 8206230A supersedes 8206230 for full model KMHS120ESS11 or that it fits KMHS120EWH11; preserve the distinction and verify the exact suffix/serial before ordering.
- The parts-list fitment is bounded to the two full model strings above. Do not extend it to KMHS120ESS base-code variations or other KMHS120 suffixes without an exact manufacturer lookup.
- Use the model-linked W10841420 Use and Care Guide for owner-level filter and rack care; do not interpret this record as a diagnosis of an internal microwave fault.
Never assume
- 8206230 and 8206230A are confirmed equivalents or a documented supersession for every full suffix; the inspected KitchenAid source does not explicitly connect them.
- The current base-model Owner Center accessory list proves fit to the white KMHS120EWH11 variant.
- A similar-sized tray, rack, or filter fits based on appearance alone.
- A turntable rotation symptom identifies which of the listed parts needs replacement.
Full model variants and exact parts list
- KMHS120EWH11 (white) and KMHS120ESS11 (stainless) are the complete models named on KitchenAid repair-parts list W11550073 Rev. A.
- Grease filter W10208631; charcoal filter 8206230; microwave rack W10637159.
- Turntable W11358813; ring W11193601; driver W11193599.
- The manufacturer parts list names W10841420 as the Use and Care Guide for this model group.
Check the charcoal filter number before ordering
KitchenAid's current Owner Center page for base model KMHS120ESS separately lists charcoal filter accessory 8206230A, while the 2021 suffix-specific repair list prints 8206230. The inspected sources do not state whether this is a replacement chain for each full suffix. Check the full appliance label and serial in KitchenAid's current lookup, or ask KitchenAid to confirm the 8206230A listing for your exact variant.
The W10841420 guide says the charcoal filter cannot be cleaned and should be replaced about every six months or when prompted by the filter indicator. It describes accessible owner-level placement behind the front vent grille; use the full guide for the procedure.
Separate owner-care items from internal service
- The guide says grease filters are on the underside and should be cleaned monthly or when prompted by the status indicator; it gives mild soap/water or dishwasher cleaning options.
- The same guide says the rectangular rack is for two-level cooking only and should be removed after use; it is not dishwasher-safe.
- For internal faults or a part that requires cabinet access, stop and use KitchenAid's qualified service channel.
