Kitchen Aid microwave door -- outer glass
Lisa, I do not have a solution, but have the same problem. My KA superba micro has been used about 10 times. While it was off, and while no one was home, the outer glass in the door shattered. I suspect this may be a defect.

This KitchenAid combination wall oven and
Good Question. I work on all brands of appliances, and I swear by KitchenAid-Whirlpool appliances. That being said, I do not recommend oven-microwave combinations, because the ovens will last 30 to 40 years, but the microwaves start having major repairs from 6-10 years on. I would bite the bullet and put in a separate Panasonic microwave (with an inverter) and a seperate KitchenAid Oven. You also need to install a 2000 Joule or higher surge protector, for your microwave oven. Panasonic microwave ovens are better than the KitcheAid ovens at this time.
I would suspect that the touch panel-control board failure may have been caused by the repairman, just because the timing is a little too close to the mag repair. No way to tell you for sure, and I myself have had control board failures the same day that we changed a light bulb, so anything is possible. Usually a factory defect is going to show up before 8 years. In the last 4 years in the greater Seattle area, 70 - 80% of our business is from power surges hitting the electonics in the different appliances, so this could also have been what has caused your repairs. On a 240 volt Oven, the only way to protect it from power surges is to have a whole-house surge protector installed on your house electrical panel. You still need to have individual surge protectors, above 2000 joules, for your appliances that are 120 volts. Good Luck, Appliance Specialists
F5E1 or FSE1 error code DOOR LOCKED LATCH NOT OPERATING
On this double oven, each door has it's own latch
mechanism that consists of a motor, a position switch, and the door
switch used to activate the cavity lights. Because the error indicated a
latch failure (and the bottom door was locked), Start by cycling
the power to the unit. Each time the power is removed and then applied
to these ovens, both latches will lock then unlock the doors to ensure
they are in the home open position. By doing so, you might be able to get the
bottom oven door opened allowing me access to the latch assembly. With
the latch removed, I try to begin a clean cycle so you could watch the
motor operate and you will probably find that it will start to turn, but never would rotate
enough to lock the door. Since the position switch was not actuated at
the end of the motor operation, the F5 E1 error was again displayed. Replace the motor assembly E
The oven will not heat up, it will say start, I
Good morning, the fan noise is probably the cooling fan in the control compartment. With an electric oven, it could be a resettable thermostat that tripped and needs to be reset. Or it could be a bad heating element. Display will display lot if it can't bring the oven temp up. Hope that helps.
Temperature probe guide won't quit beeping
you have a bad computer board or clock assy. same thing the most common thing that cooks the board is heat and usually from self cleaning the oven,next time send the model number,if this is a slide in stove under the oven door is a drawer,open it and look at the frame,you'll see a tag with model and serial numbers,if that functions by itself you have a bad board.
I have a two ear old Kitchenaid gas range
You will need a new igniter module. The igniter module is told to spark by the control panel. There is also a flame detection for electronic start and that could be bad too.
