Check/replace the fan. Quickly ! If the micro wave generator is not properly cooled down, it will burn out - very expensive replacement !

Hi, you must check the inside fuse. If is burned out, please consider that something happened, you must check further beyond to find the causes.

it's the touchpad, you have to stick a new one, call a technician or buy the touchpad corresponding to your microwave oven model https://www.applianceblog.com/mainforums/threads/51787-Kenmore-Elite-SE-error-code

check your breaker box for a tripped breaker

Planned obsolescence.

It sounds like that outlets GFCI went bad... real bad ....

Most of them you do have to carefully pry. You look on the inside of the door and you will see the choke seal. It runs around the whole outer edge on the inside of the door. Take a butter knife or a small screw driver and start to pop it up and out of the door. Slowly work around the door until it is completely free. Once you get that out you will see the door hook and will just have to look how it is mounted into the door. There will be a spring attached to it to allow it to pull up and down as the door is opened and closed. Make note of where the spring is attached to the inside of the door frame. It will have to hook onto your new part and back on the inner door.

Try contacting the Manufacturer they show have replacement parts available for your unit.

The main displays are not fused, sorry, Also the display itself is not wired to the baord. It is either soldered on or has a conductive rubber pad under it to bring power to the crystal. Get your model number and either call sears or another parts company for a price and availability on the main circuit board.

Check the door switches if one is bad it may think the door is being opened and stop the unit from running. If it is from a bad connection it will get worse as it gets hotter while running.

Is the arm (on/off) switch down into the tray? You may have moved it up during the clean operation and inadvertently shut down the ice maker. Your temps are perfecto.

One quick way would be to look on the top of the unit. Do you see empty screw holes where the screws going through the cabinet above it will go through and screw into the top of that unit? If no open screw holes on top of unit probably not an over the range model. Also, look under the bottom of the machine. do you see feet??? Or just aluminum screen vent filters. If feet and no filters probably a counter top unit.

Well I'm reaching here---if the bulb did not fracture/break then it sounds like a capacitor popped--check your owners manual for reset button but I don't think there is one for the lighting---In addition if you can see the circuit board--look for burn spot or wet spot. GL

TCP is "True Cook Plus" in Kenmore speak. Here is a cut/paste of a section of the manual. *CUSTOMIZING TrueCookPlus' You may find that you prefer TrueCookPlus® to cook your food more or less.
