1. 

Before contacting us to arrange service, please determine whether your product requires repair. Some questions can be addressed without 
service. Please take a few minutes to review the Troubleshooting or Problem Solver section of the Use and Care Guide,  
or visit http://www.kitchenaid.com/customer-service

2. 

All warranty service is provided exclusively by our authorized KitchenAid Service Providers. In the U.S. and Canada, direct all requests for 
warranty service to: 

KitchenAid Customer eXperience Center

In the U.S.A., call 1-800-422-1230. In Canada, call 1-800-807-6777.

3. 

The consultant will advise whether the microwave qualifies for repair or replacement.

4. 

In the event of repair, you may be directed to forward the product to a KitchenAid designated service center. You are responsible for 
insurance and freight to the designated service center. Please include your name and address on a piece of paper, along with a copy of the 
proof of purchase (register receipt, charge slip, etc.). The microwave should be properly packaged to avoid damage in transit as we will not 
be responsible for any such damage.

5. 

KitchenAid will return the repaired unit or, at our option, an identical or comparable microwave to your door free of charge.

If outside the 50 United States or Canada, contact your authorized KitchenAid dealer to determine whether another warranty applies.
