I was afraid I needed to replace the microcomputer when my KHHS179L touchpad was unresponsive. I was able to use the ADD A MINUTE feature, so I knew the unit worked. There had been a power outage of less than a minute to my home recently (I was unaware of this until I asked the kids if they had done anything to the microwave). I popped around on fixya.com and really didn't find an easy solution-my favorites. I loaded kitchenaid.com and found the answer in the FAQ's. Although the control lock out icon was NOT LIT-apparently, that power surge locked my controls. By holding the stop button for 5 seconds once and then aagain a second time, miraculously, my touchpad was restored> HOORAY!

hello,

what this code indicate on the screen is that there have been a loose wire connected to the element(heater) of the wave.

what you are to do to fix up this problem is to unscrew the wave the trace the wire down to the element the element is silver in nature or color fix up the wire back to the element and then see if the problem is solve, but if the problem remain then it means that you will have to replace the element

you can get the part at any good technician store around you but note this information make sure that the part you will order for should be same with the old one that need a replacement for easy compatible.

For model KHHS179LWH2, from the tech sheet located behind the controls or found online here:

F7 Power to magnetron interrupted

1. Unplug microwave oven or disconnect power.
2. After 40 seconds, check to see whether this solves the problem. (Possible
reason: Over temperature protection for the magnetron opened.)
3. See safety info here, then check resistance of the magnetron thermostat. It should be close to 0 ohms.
4. Check the magnetron.
5. Check wiring to the 1100W inverter and control system.
6. Check operation of all interlock switches.
7. If switches operate correctly:
- Replace 1100W inverter.
- If problem persists, replace power supply board.
8. Plug in microwave oven or reconnect power.

At our Web site, we have a video available showing how to remove a typical over the range control panel assembly in under 5 minutes.
