    ALWAYS discharge the high-voltage capacitor first if you even think your hands will come close to any HIGH VOLTAGE components.

    Jeff mentions this: Anything in the high voltage ( magnetron, capacitor, diode, wires to and from ):
    ...Use a metal ( not the shiny chrome type ) screw driver with a insulated handle to short across ( touch both at the same time ) the terminals of the high voltage capacitor to discharge it.

What are my options here? Couldn't find the part or front panel by searching online/parts site. Also called KitchenAid and unfortunately they don't carry the part and suggested replacing the whole unit.

It is just a plastic button, new microwave will cost upwards of $500 and if I have the specs of the button I could probably just 3D print one, but not sure it will be reliable or even work. Or if I can find a used microwave or broken one that have this button I can use. Any help will be appreciated.
