Control pad presses its own buttons, per other comment made on this site. Trying to replace control card inside the door. First, to remove door, the T-10 screw on the top door hinge jams after a couple of turns and won't unscrew further. Is there a trick to getting the door off?
For the KitchenAid microwave, model: KHMS2050SSS2 I found that i did not have to remove the screw. what i did was loosen the screw as much as it would go before getting tight again.(hard to screw) then on the bottom end of the door hinge (lying on its side) i pryed the bottom hinge off its mount. (with flat head screwdriver) from there i was able to get at the screws to separate the black surrounding stuff from the outside door... then finally i could get inside to get at the door panel controls. I noticed a whole bunch of condensation and on the back of the touch panel (electrical board).. i will replace that part as I think that is the culprit as to why the keys get pressed randomly, beeping randomly and wonkiness :)
I'm having the same issue and considering fixing myself with a new control board. Did this work for you? I'm not a pro and don't have a manual but just going to try to wing it.
When you got the door off the hinge were you able to disconnect the wiring and separate the door? I have the same issue but don't want to take the microwave off the wall if I can accomplish that. Just take the door off and bring it to a repair shop or give a self repair a try. Your response would make a world of difference to me. Thanks

The support page for YKHMS2050 series microwaves is here. There you can find your owner's manual, installation instructions, and exploded views with parts lists. It will help with disassembly. You can affordably order Kitchenaid parts from the Pros here.
Actually, I can probably repair your board for half or less than the cost of a new one. But it depends on your detailed symptoms. See my signature link below to e-mail me for full information or other free help.
