OMG NOT KITCHENAID!!!!! Problem is going to be with main control board. The Big Problems is 2 things actually 1 its Kitchenaid. It is going to be expensive to repair. and 2, trying to find a company that actually has the part. If you have the book that came with the unit, see if it has a phone number for warranty service for the unit. It may not be under warranty, but they will be the only ones who will have reasonable access to parts for it. I tell people NO when they call me and say they have a kitchenaid. Just too damn difficult to deal with. GOOD LUCK!!

First I would be sure the outlet is okay. You could try plugging a lamp into that outlet and wiggling the plug to be sure it's okay.
Otherwise, it may be a bad internal connection causing a power loss, or it has a problem with the keypad or control board.

I would suggest to check all the connections from the new installed parts and double check your switches.
Have you followed the user guide from page 35 to try to unlock that key?
If still does not work, there may be two possibilties that the new keypad(timer set-start button) may not work or the magnetron is defective.

Some units will not allow time programming if the door is open - or if the microwave thinks it is due to a bad door switch or door switch mount, etc.
Even though a door switch clicks, it may still be bad inside. Its continuity must be checked.
Switch or mount trouble can be caused by slamming the door or by opening the door while it's cooking without hitting the Stop pad first.

The issue is probably your exhaust fan on your microwave comes on automatically when it detects a certain temperature. Mine does this as well but will turn off automatically after temperature goes down.

"F2" means you have a shorting membrane keypad. The "Pan Heat" key is shorting.
On these models, the membrane keypad is not available as a separate part,
so you would have to order the control panel frame assembly which comes
with a new keypad.
In this case, you simply move your circuit board into the new frame. That is a simple do-it-yourself job.

At
our Web site, we have a video
available showing how to remove a typical
over the range control panel assembly in under 5 minutes.
Then you unplug the keypad (as per the photo below) and move the circuit board into your frame.
Some connectors may have a lock:
