Welcome to fixya Hello I have a solution for this Press Ok, Accept or replay so we may get started Your pre-solution is coming up shortly PLEASE
REPLY OR LEAVE COMMENT TO CONFIRM YOU RECEIVED THIS EMAIL My name is Bruce
Jonny, there is a sensor inside your kitchenaid unit. It probably became wet when cleaned. This is actually very common. If you need to use the unit right away, then get a dry cloth and clean out the inside of your unit. The sensor is probably still wet!!!! If you unplug your unit from the wall and wait several minutes before plugging it back in, your unit will reset and work again. Try this and if it does not work, we will try something else to reset it.
please see the embedded comments, you may have to tap on the plus sign in the fixya web screen to see the rest of the comments.
John, let me know if you still have problems..

If there is no heating please do not switch on unless you have confirmed the fault. It is possible that the Magnetron is faulty, the temperature cut off is faulty or the main capacitor is short. It is also quite possible that insect can get into the oven and create soft spots. When you switch on these will create a short and make the voltage jump and in the long run damage the magnetron.
So Remove cover after disconnecting , check for dirt/moisture in the cabin, if so wipe clean and dry, check the magnetron and area clean and use an jet air to clean off.
Now keeping clear of the microwave, switch on, use a cup of water inside to test.
If you notice any sparks shut off as the magnetron or the main HT capacitor can be faulty. replace with same type.
If there is heating without any issues, you can use the microwave safely
The flashing can be sparking of the magnetron please do not switch on unless you have confirmed the fault. It is possible that the Magnetron is leaking and sparking to the ground. If this was stored, it is quite possible that insect can get into the oven and create soft spots. When you switch on these will create a short and make the voltage jump and in the long run damage the magnetron.

The magnetron or the main HT capacitor or the temperature cut off unit mounted on the side of the cabin can be faulty. replace with same type.

If you notice any buring smell shut off as the magnetron or the main HT capacitor can be faulty. replace with same type.
If there is no heating the magnetron/capacitor/temperature cut off is faulty
