SOURCE: Kitchenaid microwave (builtin) door jammed

I believe the only way of gaining access to the door latch assembly is by removing the cover. You can use needle nose pliers to grip the sides of the screws to slowly turn them out. You might want to visit this web site www.applianceaid.com enter your model number then scroll down until you see an exploded view of your model. Click to enlarge the diagram of your model exposing the latch assembly. I hope this is of help to you. If you found any of these suggestions helpful, please rate my solution. D. Lange

If one of your door springs has failed, you will need to replace both, as well as any associated hardware that has failed.

SOURCE: The door press opener button of my kitchenaid

What usually breaks is the door open lever, but it may also be that the rear side of the door open button has worn down too far to work.

On a counter top model, the outer cover will need to be removed to diagnose and repair this. On an over-the-range model, usually only the control panel needs to be removed.

Once it is apart, you'll be able to see how the door open button would press against the door open lever, which would then lift up against the door latch heads (hook-like projections on the door) and the door should open.

SOURCE: Kitchenaid superba combo. Microwave gives

HI, this is an indication of a failed door switch. When the switch fails, the control cannot recognize the closed door signal. Simply replacing the door latch mechanism will solve this issue.

Replace the door latch assembly, asap.

Kitchenaid KEMS308SSS00: when I open the microwave door now, instead of light coming on, the turn table turns!

It's a guess, but something mis-connected on that new board. They usually have a number of edge connectors and you have two on the wrong pins. A guess never the less.

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.

My Kitchenaid microwave model YKCMS1555RSS-1 continues to run. The microwave will only stop once the door is open or the unit is unplugged. Any ideas what this could be?

One of your three door switches is bad. They are cheap. replace them all. Careful some are normally open and some are normally closed. Don't get them confused or you will get other symptoms like a blown fuse

Door open button won't work on KitchenAid microwave model YKCMS135H

Page 3 of the exploded view here shows the door open parts 24510L and 250201 (or 23551B if your full model number is YKCMS135HSS).

What look like part numbers seem to be reference numbers.

Microwave not turning off when door opened during operation

It is likely a bad door switch or mount. See the help file here.

On some models, the door switches, fuses, and TCOs / thermal cutouts / thermostats must be checked, too. See photo below.

There should be a "mini-manual" (tech sheet) hidden inside the unit - behind the back, behind the control panel, or hidden on the left side behind the grille - which is very helpful when troubleshooting, testing, and locating components.

You can find helpful exploded view diagrams and order parts by entering your full model number from the tag on the oven here.

I own a KitchenAid KEHC309JSS05 and the microwave just stopped working. When you open the microwave door the light doesnt come on. Also if you press any button it beeps three times and displays...

common problem with lots of MWs - the door switches are not set and secured properly. Now they are totally off. Need to pull apart and reset. Not a task for an average homeowner. Mine (Whirlpool) did that 1 week after I got it - exchanged for a new one.
