Just suddenly died while warming up my corn

First I'm not a Kitchen Aid tech.
* The fan is stuck on or the cook cycle has not completed. Either way something is wrong. Try unplug the Micro wave and let it rest for 10 seconds. Power back up and see if the fan still runs. If so then pull the plug. Don't use the M/W
* Check your warranty and call or take it to the service center.
* There are no customer serviced parts in a Micro wave.
*** High Voltage present. High Gauss Magnets present, High voltage storage device hazard present even with power off and disconnected! ***
* Be safe, call for service or get a new unit and dump this one.

the oven is short I suggest checking the capacitors and the power supply lines

SEEING AS HOW YOU USED IT THE NIGHT BEFORE, THE PROBLEM SEEMS TO BE THAT YOU MAY HAVE BLOWN A FUSE OR A THERMAL CUT OUT (TCO) THERE ARE SEVERAL DIFFERENT FUSES IN THIS MICROWAVE. IF YOU'RE INTERESTED IN SALVAGING THE MICROWAVE BECAUSE YOU LIKE IT, I WOULD HIGHLY RECOMMEND CALLING A TRAINED PROFESSIONAL TO FIX THIS UNIT BECAUSE THIS UNIT IS HIGH VOLTAGE WHEN IT'S RUNNING AND HAS VERY HIGH POTENTIAL TO KILL YOU. BE VERY SAFE WHILE INSPECTING ANY FUSE FOR CONTINUITY (0OHMS OF RESISTANCE ON YOUR METER.) NOTE THAT SOME THERMOSTATS IN THIS UNIT LOOK LIKE TCOS.

It may be the oil in the popcorn---do you own one of the covers that go inside to cover so food does not splatter?

you can buy that part online kitchen aid.

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.

most likely the power supply in the microwave is gone. the microwave die probably it is over the oven. heat from the stove cause the microwave to heat up and cold off more than it is on the counter.
counter microwave has fan and air slot in the rear. it keep the motor and microwave cool, and there nothing else to keep it hot. but the over the oven, the only ventalation is from the top. and with the added heat from the stove top and oven.

Plug fuse may have blown. Replace that first or test.
Internal temperature trip may have cut out (if present)
Microwave generator (magnatron) may have failed.
Internal power supply may have failed due to moisture.

Very likely this machine is dead.
Save energy - and cash, by feeding birds stale bread and raw seed and corn.
Hopefully the next microwave oven will last longer.

The cost of repair may be more than the cost of replacement. Ask your nearest repair shop how much to replace the microwave unit, and check the power supply.

Sorry I can't offer a quick fix for you.

Sounds just like a bad door switch or door switch mount. Probably the upper one. Safety info, disassembly tips, and door switch test and replacement info are all available at our Web site. See http://tinyurl.com/yzjozk
