Chances are you have a bad stirrer motor or the stirrer blade is jamming or loose on the motor shaft.

Your owner's manual should tell you how to remove the stirrer cover to check it.

If for some reason you don't have your owner's manual, you can download it free here, as well as the parts manual for your model.

You can also find helpful exploded view diagrams and order parts by entering your full model number here.

"F2" means your membrane keypad is shorting.

If and when an oven is coming on or doing anything by itself, this is very dangerous and can result in a fire.

So until it is repaired, please leave it unplugged or leave the door open when it's not in use, and of course, never leave an oven cooking unattended.

You can order the control panel frame assembly with a keypad already installed here .

You can also find handy exploded views there. Just do a search by full your model number (KHMS155LSS1, KHMS155LSS2, KHMS155LSS3, KHMS155LSS4, etc.).

You first unplug the oven and remove your control panel assembly as per the video at our site.

Then disconnect the keypad strip as per the picture below.


Then you take out the screws holding your circuit board to the old frame and put it in your new frame

Be careful, since the display is glass.

Reassembly is the reverse of disassembly.

I had the same problem with the same model of KitchenAid Microwave. KitchenAid customer service will act like they never heard of the problem, although if you google it, you will find that this is a very common problem. Ask to be transferred to the safety department. After more than 6 months of complaining and several repair attempts (they replaced control panel and switches), KitchenAid finally gave me a full refund. This is a serious safety defect for which they have no fix. The product needs to be recalled, and I am willing to testify that KitchenAid was criminally negligent when this product finally causes a house fire and possibly serious injury or death.

Hi,

If the unit quit working while cooking then your not in a good situation. There are 3 fuses/cut off thermostats inside the unit that if they break when in use--means something else caused them to break and you have another problem.

You will have to pull the unit completely down and then take off the outer case of the unit to look inside. The most common fuse that breaks is located just behind the control panel and it's a 1" long ceramic cylinder fuse. If it has no continuity then get another and see what happens when you start the cycle.

I should warn you that microwaves are the one appliance not recommended for do-it-yourselfers because they store a charge in the capacitor and if not handled correctly and you touch the wrong wire it can actually KILL you.

Let me know,if needed further assistance.

Hope i helped you.

Thanks for using ' Fixya ' and have a nice day!!
