How do I remove door on KitchenAid microwave YKHMS2050SS-2 in order to replace the CTRL-ELEC control card inside the door?
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 have a Kitchenaid built-in microwave, model KBMC147HSSO that seems to run OK but will not heat. I suspect it is a bad magnetron. The oven is nearly 17 years old.
I have a Kitchenaid microwave KCMS145JSS0 that had a loud buzzing sound, stopped heating and there was a smell of burning electronics. It is about 19 years old, but can not be replaced because it is built in and you can not find a microwave anywhere that will fit in the opening of the 24 inch cabinet. So I had to fix it. Turns out the problem was the Magnetron. This is what I did to prove the problem. First open the unit, discharged the high voltage capacitor with a short across the terminals using a test lead from my VOM analog meter. Next disconnected the connector to the Magnetron and started the microwave. The buzzing sound was gone. Powered off the microwave and again discharged the capacitor. Using my VOM on the highest ohm value tested between the terminals on the Magnetron to ground and had a reading, it should not read anything, it should read open or infinity - Magnetron Bad. Just to make sure the other high voltage components were good I performed the following tests. Checked for continuity of the 3 different circuits on the high voltage transformer, all were good. Tested the capacitor by removing all the leads connected to it and discharged it once more. With the analog VOM set to the highest value, touched the two terminals on the capacitor. The meter should swing to the right and move back to the left as the capacitor takes on a charge. Did that just fine. There is a high voltage diode connected to one of the capacitor terminals and the other end to ground. With the analog VOM set to the highest ohm setting touched the meter to the disconnected end and ground and got a reading. Reversed the meter test leads and didn't get a reading, infinity. I was very confident the Magnetron was my only issue but decided to replace the diode along with the Magnetron because it was $20 compared to the $160 Magnetron and I had that smell of burning electronics. With the new parts the microwave now works great and no need to reconfigure the cabinet installation.
Would I find the wiring Schematic inside my KitchenAid YKMLS311HBS Microwave?
Yes, unless a technician may have removed it during a previous service. It should be located behind the controller assembly, sometimes in a small envelope.
At my Web site, I have a video showing you how to remove a typical microwave controller in about 5 minutes.

KITCHENAID MICRO/OVEN COMBO, EVERYTHING WORKS (CLOCK, TIMER, LIGHTS, OVEN) EXCEPT THE MICROWAVE. IF I TRY TO USE THE MICROWAVE I GET A "DOOR" MESSAGE DOOR IS CLOSED BUT IT ONLY BEEPS AND SAYS DOOR.
Hi Jill, what the screen indicates is that the door is not closed
There are a number of internal contacts that have to be closed for the microwave to work
If any of them are wrong, they can give you that information.
Depending on the brand there may be between 2 or 3 contacts in the door area that generate that warning
Indicate brand, model and type of equipment you are commenting on, in order to find the best possible solution
I wait your answer
Regards Franco Dosil
Hola Jill, lo que te indica la pantalla es que la puerta no esta cerrada
Hay una serie de contactos internos que tienen que estar cerrados para que el microondas funcione
Si alguno de ellos esta mal puede darte esa informacion
Derpendiendo de la marca pueda haber entre 2 o 3 contactos en la zona de la puerta que generan ese aviso
Indica marca, modelo y tipo de equipo del que estas comentando, para poder encontrar la mejor soluci?n posible
Espero tu respuesta
Saludos Franco Dosil
Replace door handle kitchenaid microwave KHMS155L
Here's a diagram of the door. On the inside of the door is the frame, #2. This can be removed very carefully with a small flat bladed screwdriver and work slowly around. The frame is held in place with plastic tabs on frame. Once frame is removed, you should see the two screws that hold the handle in place. Good Luck!
Is it worth fixing our 9 year old above stove microwave Kitchenaid YKHMS2050SS - 2? Random beeping and now not heating.
I'm sorry to say that it's most likely the magnetron that's shorted out (the high voltage device that produces microwaves). It's usually the case with ovens this old that a compatible replacement won't be available.
There's also the fact that your oven is likely way past it's 'end-of-life' date so even if you could find a replacement, other components will begin to fail as more time passes.
In short, save yourself the money, time, and frustration with a new unit. Good luck!
Kems307dbl6 KitchenAid microwave staying on after you turn it off.
If the magnetron is still operating when off, needless to say , its pretty dangerous. The door lock unit usually has at least 3 microswitches to ensure that the door is closed and ready to operate. 1 of the switches is a safety switch which will cause a dead short if the door is forced open or something goes wrong with the door not closing correctly. This will "blow" the internal fuse in the machine. If the magnetron keeps going, its possible one of these switches have failed or there is an electronic fault causing power to the magnetron in the off position although, I would strongly feel this would be unlikely. These machines are made with a lot of safety devices.
