The cover has to come off the microwave to access the bulb. There are several screws around the back and sides. Remove these and the cover should lift off, revealing the bulb. For your own safety, make sure that the microwave has been unplugged from the outlet for several hours before attempting this repair.

Hi!!
Yes it is possible, just do the following:

• Remove the front panel screws located on the inside of the door.
• Have someone assist you holding the door while you remove the screws.
• Unscrew two screws (ea) on bottom of plastic retainers, one on each side of door .
• Remove door.
• Reverse order to install.

Good Luck!! A HELPFUL, 4 THUMBS UP rating for this solution would be greatly appreciated. Thank you for using FixYa!!

It sounds like the magnetron may have either failed or is not being supplied with the extremely high voltage required to run it.
Make sure the !!!!capacitor is discharged!!!!! before attempting any sort of repair.
Check the door interlock switches first then the high voltage diode with either an AVO model 8 on high resistance range for short circuit, the capacitor can fail and go short circuit, the feed fuse on the primary of the high voltage transformer and then finally, the magnetron is best checked by substitution.
Hope that helps.

Sorry to read about your problem, I hope this helps you out.

it is not easy to work on door spring issues, I suggest you contact a service company.
it should be well under a 1 hour service call.

I tried to help you. Please help me and Rate/Vote on my response, thanks and good luck

Most often when a MW oven will not go, it is to do with the Magnetron and or the High voltage Diode breaking down under load, and or the power supply.
The absence of any indication of power also indicates a problem with the internal power supply, either the fault, has caused the power supply's protection circuitry to shut it down, or the fault has caused the Power Supply to fail as well. It's not really possible to tell until one actually investigates inside the unit.
MW's are very dangerous to service and these especially are best left to the professionals.
You need to contact the KitchenAid head or local office, and ask for a referral to an authorised service center, now when here, ask for a 'Quote" for the repair before allowing any repair work to proceed. this way you can make an informed decision as to repair or replace, as with many repairs, it can all quickly add up.

The back of the door will have a moulded surround that will be fixed with allen heads or small screws. Remove the inside cover of the door and you will see the holes for the handle.

Its a built in microwave and the bulb is inaccessible according to manufacturer which really means If it is past warranty you need to remove the unit. This is the document for proper installation: http://shared.whirlpoolcorp.com/assets/pdfs/literature/Installation%20Instructions%20-%208205303.pdf

So just follow the steps in reverse, then you will have to take the top of the unit apart here is a link to an exploded view of you'r microwave along with the parts list http://shared.whirlpoolcorp.com/assets/pdfs/literature/Repair%20Part%20List%20-%208205649.pdf
I guess they think the bulb will last a long time you probably got a dud;)

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.

I am a bit late on this question, but just ended up in a rabbit hole of unanswered Kitchenaid questions The self cleaning features only serves to keep manufacturers in steady sales of parts. Quite simply the oven can only take those temperatures a few times until they break. The heat burns out elements, damages fans, door locks and worst of all damages control boards which are not far enough from the heat source. You problem sounds like the walls of the oven have buckled in the heat so the racks no longer fit. Too late now, but you should have taken Kitchenaid to court, the oven was not fit for purpose under the description they used to sell it to you. Never use the self cleaning feature as stated here https://www.google.com/search?q=self-cleaning+oven+temperature Never Ever use the self clean feature. We see damage here every couple of weeks. The worst was a burned control board on an oven that all parts were obsolete, so the self clean cost a thousand bucks! Self-cleaning ovens bring the heat so you don't have to spend hours scrubbing. Traditional self-cleaning cycles heat the oven between 800°F and 900°F, helping turn soil and spills to a powdery ash you can then wipe away. They utilize only heat-no chemicals-and are built to withstand high temperatures. (Says Maytag who love selling elements, door locks and other parts),

I'm not familiar with that particular model, but with many of their models (and many other manufacturer models as well), unfortunately the beep cannot be turned off.

Question moved from Cars and Trucks category. No wiring schematic exists, but this does show there is an internal fuse. https://www.repairclinic.com/ProductDetail/2145587 Service manuals aren't generally available, because the insides are so dangerous!

It's a guess, but something mis-connected on that new board. They usually have a number of edge connectors and you have two on the wrong pins. A guess never the less.

There is a Service Manual here Paul. https://www.allrepairmanuals.com/kitchenaid-electric-oven.htm?model_number=KEMC308KSS0+&manual_type=SERVICE ..
