See the next steps. God bless you
a stuck key or non-responsive key, most of the time you will have to
replace the keypad for this microwave oven repair. If your keypad is
connected to your control board by a flat ribbon wire, try disconnecting
it and clean the silver contacts with an ordinary pencil eraser. After
cleaning, plug it back in and try it. If it doesn't fix it, replace
the keypad unit. Some units actually have keypad tests to confirm your
diagnosis of a bad key.If your keypad and control is the same
unit, replace that unit. Another note, unlike stove/oven keypads and
controls, most microwaves do not have error codes or tests to
distinguish whether it is truely the keypad or control. Most of the
time, it is the keypad that needs replacing, but a small percentage of
the time it can be the control. Check the tech sheet if they can point
you to the right part.

Mmmm it's so easy,
First disconect the power, take the cover off, moslitly there would be 5 screws and two tab's on the top.
inside on the right hand side the magnetron it's a sylver box measuring about 4 in x 4 in x 5 in. It will have a plasic cover moslitly that would have to be remove first then on the magnetron there is 4 crews and one connector.
It should fall downard after.
If you have a power supply after the secondary , that may also be your problem.

If you (or someone you know) might want to replace it yourself, I have uploaded a handy guide with pictures showing you what's typically involved.
You can usually find helpful exploded view diagrams and order parts by entering your full model number here: http://tinyurl.com/gv383
There should also be a "mini-manual" hidden inside the unit behind the control panel or hidden on the left side behind the grille, which is very helpful when troubleshooting & testing.
If you would like to have us do this for you, we do that for $39.95 plus part costs.
Please feel free to contact me directly if you need more help.
We're happy to help and we appreciate your thoughtful rating of our answer.

It is not your key panel, but the magnetron inside the microwave that is causing you the problem. The reason it does not short out on defrost or convection is because it is not drawing as much current through the magnetron to short out.

If one of the surface light bulbs burnt out it may have shorted out the control board. Take the control board out and look for a burnt spot on the board. It may be able to be repaired with a drop of solder or solder in a jumper wire. Or you can purchase a new board, which may cost more than you want to put into the microwave.
