First, you need to uninstall the microwave (MW) from the cabinet by removing the screws that hold it in place at the top. Open the cabinet doors above the MW to locate the screws.
You will need someone to help you at this point in removing the screws and dropping the MW down. Be sure and unplug the MW before you remove the screws.
Next, you need to take the cover/shell off by locating and removing screws A/R. They are mostly across the back and side bottom.
From there on out, you should be able to methodically find and locate the various fasteners that will get to the button pad.

Does not heat. It would sometimes cook and sometimes not, until it quit cooking altogether

Sounds like the magnetron shorted out. This is the part that heats the food. Unfortunately, this part is almost more cost than a new microwave so I would recommend just getting a new microwave. If you would rather try replacing this part, you can order a new one from repairclinic.com and find one by searching with your model number. Let me know if you need anything else.

You'd have to separate the door panels (as shown in the attached photo) to get to the inner parts.

You can also watch a YouTube video (not a video I made) that demonstrates how it's done.

Error flashing on display KHHS179LSS

If you pull off the top louver (it just pulls straight off) usually (mine does) there is a small technician manual (is a small black plastic bag) on the right side above the control panel. It shows all the error codes and what they mean. It shows how to enter test mode and exit which may clear the error. Hope this helps.

KitchenAid KHHS179lss, fried magnitron?

If your magnetron was shorted, the unit would not heat at all.

The sound of a shorted magnetron is usually a loud hum-- but no or very little smell and no smoke.

Components in the High Voltage section -capacitor, diode- give problems if they short out.
