I have a KitchenAid KCM2145JSS-1 built-in microwave manufactured in 2002. Today the microwave stopped heating and there is a slight burning smell coming from the unit. The panel still works correctly as does the turntable and light. Any thoughts as to the issue and potential cost to repair?
Everything working is a real good sign. Most likely all thats wrong with your unit is a blown fuse. Go to http://www.partselect.com/MultiModels.aspx?ModelNum=kcms145j&SearchTerm=fuse&RefineSearch=0 and you will find the fuse. It's behind the touch pad with most all the other workings. Very easy to replace and cost only $11.76. It looks like an old round glass car fuse but it's made just for micro waves. It's most likely a 20 amp fuse. To get to it, take all the screws out from the back that hols the case on. once you have removed the case you will be able to locate the fuse. Good luck.

Thank you for the tip! One question. The "screws" in back are a hex design, but there is a pin coming out the middle so a regular tool doesn't seem to work. Is there a specialty tool for this?
