Don't try to take off the entire door!!

Lots of different ideas as how to change out this item on Kitchen aid KHMS2056sss2. My success was to remove the panel that holds the controls for vent fan and lights. You will probably need to remove the grease/air filter to reach the fan and light plugs as well as the wiring connected to the door. You will probably need help pulling the wiring bundle once the door panel is ready to be removed. Note there are two screw holding this side panel that can only be reached by having the door fully open. Removing this panel will give you access to the three screws on inside of door panel. There are three screws on inside and three on outside of door panel. There are also two under the door panel. Once you have all eight screws out take a putty knife and with door open push knife between the (black) inside panel and the silver outside (the one with the handle on it) once you have these two separated you can remove outer panel.Pull wiring bundle through the cutout and then you can lay it on a table to remove the cover (black plastic) to access the number/touch board. You will find it is connected to the control board all under this plastic cover. Turns out I need the control board (sort of square circuit board) and not touch board. They allowed me to return the touch panel and all is well with my microwave now.
