Microwave, Kitchenaid Model:KHHS179LSS, is above stove, Kitchenaid Model:KERC608LSSO, (cut into cabinet) and has exhaust fan for stove. Fan was running and noticed high intensity light turning bright orange for no reason at all. Microwave was not being used. Opened door and the light shut off. Closed door light came on again. It would not shut off when cancel button was pushed on microwave. I was afraid this could cause fire. I played with fan settings and it seemed to take care of problem and now oven is working ok. I did unplug it and did not want to take any chances of fire since the light went on automatically when the exhaust fan was used. Any ideas what caused this? Is it safe to use the microwave? Did radiation occur when I opened door with orange light? What is the corrective action? Any suggestions would be appreciated.
You have a shorted grille relay on your control board. I can repair this for $69.95, which includes insured return shipping.

SOURCE: Replace door handle on microwave
You will need to access the door handle mounting screws and remove it to replace the door handle. To access the screws on MOST microwave ovens, you must remove the inner door panel that goes around the perimeter of the glass. This can be accomplished by using a small screwdriver or putty knife to carefully insert in the seam and pry the plastic up. Work your way slowly around the perimiter of the glass to pop the panel loose. Most microwave ovens also have grooves in the panel that you can insert the screwdriver into. Use care not to pry against the glass. The glass is tempered and also has an RF shield that shields you from harmful microwaves.
With the inner panel removed, the door handle screws are visibile and easily be accessed with a screwdriver. Simply remove the broken handle and install the new one. Re-insert the inner door panel carefully and gradually work your way around the perimeter of the door glass and make sure it snaps back into place and seats properly.
This repair can be done with the door in place, or you can remove it for easier access. If you decide the remove the door, open it all the way and lift straight up at the hinges. The door will lift off of the hinge pins. On some microwaves, you may have to remove the upper grill cover over the door (if equipped) to accommodate door removal. Place on a hard flat surface with some towels under it for padding. This protects the door facing from scatches.
NOTE: Some doors have a hinge pin that needs to be removed, or screws holding the door in place at the hinge.
If you have any questions, or require additional assistance, please let me know. I hope this helps you.

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.

Hi, F3H mean that Humidity Sensor Failure. You have to refer to the Tech Sheet and test the sensor.
Hello
& Welcome to FixYa
The
problem is with the fuse or the high voltage transformer that is bad and needs
replacement. Replacing the fuse will cost you under $100 from a professional
and getting the transformer replaced will cost you around $200. As the unit has
very high voltage inside so we don't recommend that this should be done by the
user. Please get back to me if you have any other questions.
