Chad June 09, 2020 for Model Number KHMS2050SSS0 powers up just fine but when i hit start it just shows the door is open. would this be a door switch bad or is it something else?
1 Answer Hello Chad, the control does not see the door closed correctly thru the status of the door interlock switches, to check this the microwave would need to be unplugged, uninstalled, the outer case removed, and the operation of the door/door switches checked, that would include how the door latch pawls align with the bracket that holds the switches,the interlock switches and the switch cams.

Chris P June 08, 2020 for Model Number KHHC2090SSS0 My microwave displays the following message "SAFETY FUNCTION ACTIVATED; Open and close door to resume use." the touchscreen is fully functional and all of the features respond to touch input, but whenever I press start the error message appears, so I cannot get any of the heating features to perform. Also, when I open the door, the interior light DOES NOT illuminate. Is this a door switch problem? If so, how do I access the switches inside the right hand panel? Do I have to dismount the microwave (it is mounted above my stove) to access. Thank you for your assistance.
1 Answer Hello Chris, the control board did not see the door switches open/close correctly. To access/test the switches the microwave would need to be uninstalled, the outer cover removed and the switch tested with a multimeter, also check the switch cams and support brackets for warpage or out of position.

Kristine May 28, 2019 for Model Number KHMS2056SSS3 microwave would run for split second and stop. I purchased 3 door switches.each one has different part number. which part number goes into the top?
Larry February 06, 2019 for Model Number KHMC1857WSSO the interior light (cavity light?) will not turn off. There is a switch on the control panel that gives 3 options, Hi, Low, Off. When you depress the panel switch it makes the beeping sound but does not change the light from HI/Low/Off. Only way to get the light to go off is to unplug it. What's up???? thanks
1 Answer Larry, With the light not going off then you will want to test the door switches to make sure they are good and if they check ok then the control board would be the issue. Read More...
Pat December 26, 2018 for Model Number GH7208XRY3 Towel caught fire in microwave. Exhaust fan works but microwave does not. The door does not close like it used to. It seems sloppy. Would the fire have caused any fuses or switches to malfunction?
1 Answer Pat, You would want to check the door switches and the thermal fuses in the unit for continuity as these would be the likely cause for this issue. Read More...

Gordon January 03, 2018 for Model Number RMC275PVB01 My microwave says "door" on display when trying to use the microwave. It will not work. Why?
1 Answer Hello Gordon, This is most likely a bad door switch W10211972. Since there are three which have the same current flowing through them at the same time, as per the manufacturer, when one fails, the others will fail soon enough that they should all three be replaced at the same time.
