KitchenAid KHHC2090 - Touch panel no longer working. Is there a fix?

SOURCE: Microwave came on by itself

Yes this is usually caused by the touch assy, but $278 !!!!! Thats kinda steep considering the panel assy is only around 30-60 bucks!!! It will need the touch assy and even possibly the control board, because sometimes the logic IC gets fried and causes "ghost issues" as well.

SOURCE: Hi I have KitchenAid microwave model

hello,

what this code indicate on the screen is that there have been a loose wire connected to the element(heater) of the wave.

what you are to do to fix up this problem is to unscrew the wave the trace the wire down to the element the element is silver in nature or color fix up the wire back to the element and then see if the problem is solve, but if the problem remain then it means that you will have to replace the element

you can get the part at any good technician store around you but note this information make sure that the part you will order for should be same with the old one that need a replacement for easy compatible.

thank you and thanks for using fixya.

SOURCE: my KHHS179LSS-3 will not let you control microwave

I was afraid I needed to replace the microcomputer when my KHHS179L touchpad was unresponsive. I was able to use the ADD A MINUTE feature, so I knew the unit worked. There had been a power outage of less than a minute to my home recently (I was unaware of this until I asked the kids if they had done anything to the microwave). I popped around on fixya.com and really didn't find an easy solution-my favorites. I loaded kitchenaid.com and found the answer in the FAQ's. Although the control lock out icon was NOT LIT-apparently, that power surge locked my controls. By holding the stop button for 5 seconds once and then aagain a second time, miraculously, my touchpad was restored> HOORAY!
