Your question is not altogether clear. It's normal (and a safety requirement!) for the oven to shut off when the door opens. If it powers on with the door open, that is also a severe safety issue, for which professional service should be immediately engaged. (For referral, use the contact information at https://www.contacthelp.com/kitchenaid/customer-service.)

Also note the following (from KitchenAid).

Firmly close door. On some models, if a packaging spacer is
attached to inside of the door, remove it, then firmly close door.
If a message about the door appears in the display, the door
has been closed for 5 minutes or more without the microwave
oven being started. This happens to avoid unintended starting
of the microwave oven. Open and close the door, then start
the cycle.
