I have a Kitchenaid microwave model KCMS145JSS0. It is a built-in. I pushed the door opener button and heard a pop. How do I get to the inside of the microwave panel so that I can see what parts broke?
peteturner07 could be one of the brackets that holds the latch in place or the latch itself that broke. That would be #7 in the diagram.
. The only way to get to it is by disassembling your microwave. Looks like you will need some security Torx screwdrivers to disassemble it. Bit of a PITA since it is a build-in but you need to remove it from the cavity and take it apart. Be ware of the capacitors etc. on a Microwave. There is enough juice on those to provide you with a shocking experience. Do not touch anything unless you have properly discharged the caps.
