Hello Kenny, Thank you for your inquiry. We would recommend checking the following parts to fix your issue: the monitor and secondary door switch, microwave control board, control panel assembly, the thermal cut out thermostat, and the fan thermostat. You can test the parts with a multimeter. If you are unfamiliar with how a multimeter functions, we have videos available to assist you. For safety reasons, since the microwave capacitor can still store electricity even when the microwave is unplugged, it is usually advised that you discharge the capacitor before any attempt at repair. We have included a link on how to do so.

Good luck with your repair.

Hi José, thank you for your inquiry. Based on our understanding of the issue, we would suggest you check the main control board, part number PS3510777, as it is most likely faulty and may need to be replaced. We hope this is helpful!
Microwave went out, change the fuse and the display works now, but it will not heat. Thank you.

Hello Dallas, thank you for your query. To fix the issue, you may need to check the following parts: diode, part number PS239740, secondary door switch, part number PS237421, monitor door switch, part number PS237422, and capacitor, part number PS239187. If this does not solve the problem, then you may need to check the magnetron, part number PS239660. We hope this sorts out your problem!
Microwave door switches. Your diagram does not match my switch assembly. Which is the upper switch and lower switch? WB24X830 or WB24X829. I started with a turntable that continued running when the door opened (microwave worked). After changing both switches now the turntable spins when the door is closed and the microwave doesn’t heat (run) anymore. All I did was change the switches. Upper Switch was defective.

Hi Toong, thank you for the question. According to our research, the upper switch is the monitor door switch, part number PS237422, and the lower switch is the secondary door switch, part number PS237421. You may need to check if you have installed the switches correctly. We hope this is what you are looking for!
Just for others changing door switches…diagram is not correct (or not clear). There are 3 switches - 1 x WB24X830 and 2 x WB24X829. Upper switch is …829, middle is …830, and lower is …829. Easy to mix up. Change one switch at a time.

Hello Toong, Thank you for contacting us. While we receive our parts diagrams directly from the manufacturer, it does mention that there are two of the secondary door switches used and one of the monitor door switch-which is the middle switch. We hope this helps you.
Turned out the issue was easily solved by replacing a single, inexpensive fuse.
First off, UNPLUG THE MICROWAVE.
The fuse is located under the plastic grill at the top of the microwave. It's held on by two screws. Once you've removed the screws and taken off the plastic grill, you go to the right side of the mic
... Read morerowave and remove another screw that holds a small metal grill in place. Removing the small metal grill is probably the toughest part of this repair. You kind of have to rock it back and forth a bit to get it to release. Once that's off, you can get to the fuse. I removed the burnt out one with a pair of needle nose pliers. I also put a small piece of cardboard under the fuse when I did this so I didn't accidentally drop it into the innards of the microwave. I did the same thing when I replaced the new fuse. I then plugged the appliance back in and made sure it worked. Once that was confirmed, I replaced both grills.
Noted on partselect.com that someone else with this problem, found it to be secondary door switch. There are three door switches in this model, but online info noted that one of the three might feel "soft" (in my case, one switch clicked in a rather "jiggly" way, the other two were strong decisive clicks.) To access the door switches on
... Read more this model was the only difficult part. First use a torx bit to remove the two torx screws below the latches inside the microwave. This frees the latching part inside, that holds the door switches, which you will remove after you take off the control panel. The top grill has to come off before you can remove the door panel. Remove the screws above the grill, on the microwave top cover, The grill on this model is covered with a panel that moves out when it vents. After removing the two top screws, the covered grill vent slides left to remove. Be careful, as the sliding tabs are plastic. Wiggle and jiggle it, to slip it off. Below the removed grill, is a small metal grill with one screw in lower center. Remove that screw, and wiggle that out. You'll then see the one screw that holds on the control panel. Remove this screw, and lift the control panel up to remove. Again, go slowly and gently, as the bottom tabs holding the control panel in, are also plastic and easily broken. Lay the control panel on something, (I used the coffee maker) and pull out the wire bundles tucked on the left, that are attached to the latching panel. Wiggle the latching panel gently to lift it up off of it's plastic tabs and pull it out towards you, so you can see the three door switches. Each switch (part number WB24X829) has a little black switch on it. Feel each switch with either your finger, or a screwdriver to see which one doesn't "click" strongly. The weak one is the one you will replace. The door switches are fitted into a tab, and plugged into their wires. Remove the defective switch, pull out the wires, and replace it with the new switch, plugging back the wires, and slipping it back into it's plastic tabs. Then put everything back together in reverse order. The entire job took me fifteen minutes EXCEPT for figuring out how to slide off the upper grill, which I have told you. A repairman would have cost $150, the part was $18. AND, there's a good chance, the other two switches will get "used up" in the next year or so as well, so I'll be ready next time. Thank you, Partselect, why work all day, to make money, only to give it to somebody else, for fifteen minutes of work. All I needed was the knowledge.
