Hello Jimmy Hester,
This could be a GREAT TIME to consider
calling in a PROFESSIONAL...
They walk in... pull out the wall plug... pull
out the PC board... Poke the soldering iron at a
BAD (cold solder) joint... BINGO ... all is well.
Mishandling a CIRCUIT BOARD could change
a minor issue to a MAJOR FAILURE... EASY.
There are a couple of REALLY great reasons these
appliances say ...
"NO USER SERVICEABLE PARTS INSIDE"
- Primary: novices & amateurs (where EVERYBODY
real actually started) need to be trained to wear
STATIC Protection... $6 (for a good one, see below).
A simple wrist strap. Electro-STATIC spark you might
not even feel is enough to DESTROY any semiconductor

Could also be a simple PC Board "re-seat"...
if it is done with the POWER ON... the oven gets
ruined.
You really ought consider adding in the
MAKE & MODEL.. You will be rewarded with
much better than scary stories...
If you do manage to get a wrist band... actually
remove POWER... & get that control board (PC)
out... Look at the solder side... Check for soot or
obvious cracks.
Use a really bright light and a jewelers loop.
We can guide you with a solder sucker... good iron,
soldering wick... goggles... burn proof flooring, clothes
and furniture...
But as you start adding up all the costs... and the remote
chance of success...
Would it NOT BE EASIER... to look up a 5 STAR repair
shop... (not my normal recommendation)
I'm just saying... Soldering is not as EASY as it looks.

With the cover off, disconnect the primary of the power transformer. Now, with a good fuse try again. If the fuse blows again check the three microswitches in the latch assembly. If the fuse doesn't blow than the magnetron or diode are shorted.
the Magnetron has gone (yes it's really called that) that's the part of the microwave that emits radio waves and cooks your food... 30 years ago when this tech (Microwave cooking) was new and expensive it was cheaper to replace that part than buy new... now it's the other way around... at least you still have a working electric convection oven.
it's very rare that a Magnetron go bad, so look for an old one of the same model and use that one for parts if it's that loved.
I assume the display is hard to see but otherwise the unit function correctly? I'm going to gear my answer to this issue. If everything on unit functions but just can't see clock and temp. settings, you have a bad display. That's gonna be part #2. I'm not how to upload video but go to youtube and type in Kitchenaid slide in electric control replacement. The top video should give you a good idea on how to change display board out. Good Luck
Go to Kitchenaid's web site and see if you can order replacement accessories. If not, try contacting their support group. Usually, if you search for:

You either have an intermittent or defective door switch, or the latch assembly is not activating the switches properly. If you need further help, I’m available over the phone at https://www.6ya.com/expert/david_29ad5d1dd86564b0
The door handles on most appliances, like outside cars & truck handles, are secured with screws from inside the door.
You will need to take the door completely apart to tighten the screws. This may be a very hard job, as it needs to be reassembled as well. God bless your efforts.
It may be what I call the "overdesigned door circuit," as shown in the attached drawing.
If you'd like more help with this, I'd need your full model number and FCC ID number form the tag in the cooking cavity or elsewhere on the oven.
Feel free to contact me via microwavecontrol.com with your detailed symptoms.
Erratic behavior sometimes occurs when microwaves are not plugged into grounded outlets. Make sure it is actually grounded. If so, you might have a defective control panel. If you need further help, I’m available over the phone at https://www.6ya.com/expert/david_29ad5d1dd86564b0
