Tuoya January 10, 2012 for Model Number KEMC308KSSO HI, 1. my microwave light is also not working anymore. Which light bulb should I buy? 2. I pull the microwave/oven combo out but didn't see the light bulb, do I have to unscrew the side panel to find the socket? Is it difficult to do? Is there a diagram on your side that can give me some idea? Thanks for all your help.
1 Answer Tuoya, The part number for the microwave cavity light bulb is WPW10440740. To replace the bulb, in most cases you can remove the control panel, and have access to the bulb. "1. Disconnect the electrical power to the microwave/oven combination. 2. Open the lower oven door. 3. Remove the bottom screw from each of the two side trim pieces. 4. To remove the side trim, pull the bottom out approximately 2?, and slide the top down to free it from the control panel. 5. Remove the screws from the oven control panel.6. To remove the oven control panel, pull it out at the bottom, and lift and unhook it from the oven cabinet support at the top. 7. Pull the ground clip on the end of the green wire from the edge of the metal panel, and disconnect the wire connectors from the board. Set the panel face down on a padded surface to protect the finish. 4. To remove the halogen lamp: a) Unclip the wire retainer and remove it. b) Remove the lamp from the holder and remove the wires from the harness." Hopefully you won't have to separate the microwave from the oven assembly. Thanks and Good Luck Read More...
Tuoya January 10, 2012 for Model Number KEMC308KSSO Thanks for answer my question. If the part needs to be replaced, is there any instructions or diagrams you can provide? Thanks.
1 Answer Hello Tuoya. You will need to uninstall the microwave and remove the side panel on the control side. Once removed, you can access and test the door switches W10211972. NC and COM should read closed and NO and COM should read open. You can test this with a multi-meter TJMA-DMT3. Here is a link on how to use a multi-meter.

Tuoya January 10, 2012 for Model Number KEMC305KSSO HI, I have A kitchaid microwave oven combo model #KEMC308KKO, OVEN WORKS FINE,microwave stopped working while warming up food. If I push the start botton, it gives a beep, if I push other cooking option the display shows "door" Is the door wire broken? Or is the latch broken? What part do I need to replace? I'm pretty handy, replaced the door torsion springs before, can I do it or do I need to hire service people? Please help. Tuoya
1 Answer Hello Tuoya. Based on the information, it sounds like the door switch W10211972 is bad and will need to be replaced. Test the door switches and see if they are bad. You can test this with a multi-meter TJMA-DMT3. Here is a link on how to use a multi-meter. Hope this helps. http://forum.appliancepartspros.com/oven-repair-including-ranges-cooktops/4810-how-check-continuity-ohmmeter.html Read More...
James M November 10, 2011 for Model Number Kemc308ss01 Hi, do you see many control board failures on this model? If so what part of the board is bad? Can the relays be replaced on the boards? Thank you, Jim
1 Answer James, Since it appears you're working on the microwave portion of the wall oven, a loss of power due to an open fuse, power leg or cavity TCO is the most common issue with this style oven. Main control boards don't fail all that often, but it does occurr. Repairing a printed circuit board is not reccomended, by the manufacturer, and would be an awesome chore for a DIY'r. Good Luck and Thanks Read More...
Jim Mills November 09, 2011 for Model Number KEMC308SS01 Hello,I had a bulb go out in the microwave portion of the combo. I replaced the bulb per the manual. The old bulb was bad, I checked it with an ohm meter. Put everything together and still no light and now a "door" message on the display. Ok, pulled the microwave again and checked all three door switches with my ohm meter and all check good. I went ahead and replaced them anyway. In addition I checked them in position by opening and closing the door. All looks good. Problem is I still have the "door" message and no light. I have checked the fuses with an ohm meter and they are also ok. What do you suspect is the problem and what should I check next? Thank you in advance!
1 Answer Jim, The cavity light not working, and the "door" in the display, indicates there is no 120 VAC to the control board. Heres some help, be careful, these are live voltage checks : At the red wire on the primary door switch, there should be 120 VAC to chassis ground, with the power applied to the oven, No voltage would indicate an open fuse, cavity thermal cut out, or broken wire. No 120 VAC at P 8 pin 1 (black) wire, door closed would be a bad door switch or broken wire. No 120 volts at p10 pin 1 (brown) wire, door open would be a bad door switch or broken wire(these checks are at the main control board and made to chassis ground) if voltages are proper you'd have a bad control board. Thanks and Good Luck Read More...
