Did you ever find a fix? Mine is doing the same thing!! Uggghhh!

faulty keypad

I had the same problem with the same model of KitchenAid Microwave. KitchenAid customer service will act like they never heard of the problem, although if you google it, you will find that this is a very common problem. Ask to be transferred to the safety department. After more than 6 months of complaining and several repair attempts (they replaced control panel and switches), KitchenAid finally gave me a full refund. This is a serious safety defect for which they have no fix. The product needs to be recalled, and I am willing to testify that KitchenAid was criminally negligent when this product finally causes a house fire and possibly serious injury or death.

"F2" means your membrane keypad is shorting.

If and when an oven is coming on or doing anything by itself, this is very dangerous and can result in a fire.

So until it is repaired, please leave it unplugged or leave the door open when it's not in use, and of course, never leave an oven cooking unattended.

You can order the control panel frame assembly with a keypad already installed here .

You can also find handy exploded views there. Just do a search by full your model number (KHMS155LSS1, KHMS155LSS2, KHMS155LSS3, KHMS155LSS4, etc.).

You first unplug the oven and remove your control panel assembly as per the video at our site.

Then disconnect the keypad strip as per the picture below.


Then you take out the screws holding your circuit board to the old frame and put it in your new frame

Be careful, since the display is glass.

Reassembly is the reverse of disassembly.

HI. the key pad, or touch pad board has failed. I recommended replacing this damaged key pad asap. this will correct this issue.

F2 on a KitchenAid mike usually means a Keypad short. Beware if it is a KHMS155LSS, it can self start on its own with a KeyPad short. A real stunning defect.

F2 on this model means you have a shorting membrane keypad.

If and when an oven is coming on or doing anything by itself, this is very dangerous and can result in a fire.

So until it is repaired, please leave it unplugged or leave the door open when it's not in use, and please do not leave it running unattended.

On this model, the membrane keypad is available already mounted on a new control panel frame. It runs a little more, but saves a lot of time consuming and aggravating work.

In this case, you simply move your circuit board into the new frame.

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.

Then you remove a few more screws and disconnect the wires.

It is part # AP3673562 (same as 8205018) and runs $80.97 + shipping here.
