try to turn the coupling, either stripped broken coupling, or bad gear in drive motor. should not be able to turn by hand

have it inspectied my a real company . if it was wired wrong, such as the oven was 220 volts and the microwave was 110 volt they tried to split the 220 down to 110 and wired it wrong. my question is was there a oven there before, if not did they run new wires for that oven . 220 volt needs 4 wires to run it , to be right. It sounds like 220 was put to the microwave.

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.

If you're referring to the cavity light, it's possible the bulb is just loose in its socket. The cover has to be removed to access the bulb.

Hello Jimmy Hester, This could be a GREAT TIME to consider calling in a PROFESSIONAL... They walk in... pull out the wall plug... pull out the PC board... Poke the soldering iron at a BAD (cold solder) joint... BINGO ... all is well. Mishandling a CIRCUIT BOARD could change a minor issue to a MAJOR FAILURE... EASY. There are a couple of REALLY great reasons these appliances say ...

A simple wrist strap. Electro-STATIC spark you might not even feel is enough to DESTROY any semiconductor Amazon com Rosewill ESD Anti Static Wrist Strap Components RTK 002 Black... Could also be a simple PC Board "re-seat"... if it is done with the POWER ON... the oven gets ruined. You really ought consider adding in the MAKE & MODEL.. You will be rewarded with much better than scary stories... If you do manage to get a wrist band... actually remove POWER... & get that control board (PC) out... Look at the solder side... Check for soot or obvious cracks. Use a really bright light and a jewelers loop. We can guide you with a solder sucker... good iron, soldering wick... goggles... burn proof flooring, clothes and furniture... But as you start adding up all the costs... and the remote chance of success... Would it NOT BE EASIER... to look up a 5 STAR repair shop... (not my normal recommendation) I'm just saying...

Checking and replacing the three microswitches would help.

I assume the display is hard to see but otherwise the unit function correctly? I'm going to gear my answer to this issue. If everything on unit functions but just can't see clock and temp. settings, you have a bad display. That's gonna be part #2. I'm not how to upload video but go to youtube and type in Kitchenaid slide in electric control replacement. The top video should give you a good idea on how to change display board out. Good Luck

With the cover off, disconnect the primary of the power transformer. Now, with a good fuse try again. If the fuse blows again check the three microswitches in the latch assembly. If the fuse doesn't blow than the magnetron or diode are shorted.

the Magnetron has gone (yes it's really called that) that's the part of the microwave that emits radio waves and cooks your food... 30 years ago when this tech (Microwave cooking) was new and expensive it was cheaper to replace that part than buy new... now it's the other way around... at least you still have a working electric convection oven. it's very rare that a Magnetron go bad, so look for an old one of the same model and use that one for parts if it's that loved.

I am a bit late on this question, but just ended up in a rabbit hole of unanswered Kitchenaid questions The self cleaning features only serves to keep manufacturers in steady sales of parts. Quite simply the oven can only take those temperatures a few times until they break. The heat burns out elements, damages fans, door locks and worst of all damages control boards which are not far enough from the heat source. You problem sounds like the walls of the oven have buckled in the heat so the racks no longer fit. Too late now, but you should have taken Kitchenaid to court, the oven was not fit for purpose under the description they used to sell it to you. Never use the self cleaning feature as stated here https://www.google.com/search?q=self-cleaning+oven+temperature Never Ever use the self clean feature. We see damage here every couple of weeks. The worst was a burned control board on an oven that all parts were obsolete, so the self clean cost a thousand bucks! Self-cleaning ovens bring the heat so you don't have to spend hours scrubbing. Traditional self-cleaning cycles heat the oven between 800°F and 900°F, helping turn soil and spills to a powdery ash you can then wipe away. They utilize only heat-no chemicals-and are built to withstand high temperatures. (Says Maytag who love selling elements, door locks and other parts),

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 :)

You either have an intermittent or defective door switch, or the latch assembly is not activating the switches properly. If you need further help, I’m available over the phone at https://www.6ya.com/expert/david_29ad5d1dd86564b0

Get rid of it and buy a new one. This sounds like a dangerous item to continue to use. ...

Go to Kitchenaid's web site and see if you can order replacement accessories. If not, try contacting their support group. Usually, if you search for: Make Model replacement parts you will find web sites that carry the item you seek. ..

The door handles on most appliances, like outside cars & truck handles, are secured with screws from inside the door. You will need to take the door completely apart to tighten the screws. This may be a very hard job, as it needs to be reassembled as well. God bless your efforts.

It may be what I call the "overdesigned door circuit," as shown in the attached drawing. If you'd like more help with this, I'd need your full model number and FCC ID number form the tag in the cooking cavity or elsewhere on the oven. Feel free to contact me via microwavecontrol.com with your detailed symptoms.

Erratic behavior sometimes occurs when microwaves are not plugged into grounded outlets. Make sure it is actually grounded. If so, you might have a defective control panel. If you need further help, I’m available over the phone at https://www.6ya.com/expert/david_29ad5d1dd86564b0
