Question About KitchenAid Microwave Oven None
Kitchen Aid KCMS185JSS killed itself...

Not happy. Microwave decided to turn its magnetron on (but not the cooling fan), without anybody pushing any buttons. Smell of burned magnetron. Motherboard must be faulty. Same happened to previous unit (Whirlpool brand, but identical oven). Poor, non-failsafe design. This ought to be a recall!

0 Took the oven apart. Magnetron relay was stuck in the closed position (tested with a meter). Same must have happened to the other oven. I found a picture on another website where somebody had the same exact relay catch fire on their oven. My relay unstuck itself while I was taking it apart. Seems to work fine now, but I need a new relay and a new magnetron to make this oven work again. Amusing thing is - this fancy and expensive Kitchen Aid oven is made from LG parts!
