I just bought KMHS120ESS KitchenAid mic and didn't think it needed a hood vent. Store rep said it doesn't, but the instructions show a vent. Is the built in Microwave enough venting

You did not note your Make and Model. As there are many different types, all I can give you are basic directions.
First make sure the Power Cord is UN-PLUGGED from the wall.

1. Remove the Top Vent Grille Cover. There are screws holding this on, either Three you can see (one on each side and one in the center), or Open the Door and look for screws at the top of the Frame that go Up Into the grille.
2. Look in cabinet above unit for screws that hold unit up. Usually two (one on each side, front), can be more. Remove.
3. Look where Top Vent Grille Cover was removed. There should be a Long Screw or Screw-Type Lock at each( top) corner. These hold the unit tight on the Wall-Mount Plate. Remove. You should have HELP at this point as you will slide the unit forward until it comes clear of the Support Arms.
GOOD LUCK!!

If it's the one that lights the cooktop, it's normally beneath the bottom cover.

In some cases, it's located in a compartment behind the grille that goes across the top of the unit.

I have a diagram at my site which helps you find & replace many GE cooktop and cavity light bulbs. It may help. It's at http://207.234.249.73/mwd/ge_lamp_replacement.jpg

Please let me know if that helps or not.

SOURCE: No vent for over the range microwave.

Have you selected a microwave yet?

many over the range types can be vented inside if a charcoal filter is used, which you must replace about every six months.

Otherwise, you will need to install a vent system in the kirtchen.

Kitchenaid microwave kmhs120ess door fell apart

Doors for microwave ovens are usually replaced as a complete item.
I would ask the person who forgot to fix the door latches properly back to fix it properly.
If some of the clips were snapped off when removing the door panel, the panel must be replaced or it will fall out again.

KitchenAid microwave oven model # KMHS120ESS-0 When you open the door the light doesn't always come on and you can't get the microwave oven to start because it thinks the door is open.

You either have an intermittent or defective door switch, or the latch assembly is not activating the switches properly.

I bought new Kitchen Aid microwave with hood combination and followed the instructions to install it. Everything was OK until I came to the Wall Venting Installation, step 4. Lift blower motor out of...

Hi,
On this model, item #1 is the only part you will need to invert. Lift out and rotate to allow venting to be possible to the wall. In other words, the open part needs to face the back of the microwave. Also if you removed the blower, you will need to re-install it back and correctly. You could have venting issues if not back in the proper location.
