Microwave Grease Filter
★★★★★
★★★★★
(29)
Part #5230W1A012B
This is a single grease filter manufactured for a microwave. The microwave grease filter filters the exhaust air and traps any grease flowing out of the appliance. It is important to keep the filter clean and intact by cleaning it regularly and replacing it when needed. A clogged air filter can cause your appliance to run inefficiently and possibly alter the taste and smell of your food. This filter is approximately 7.5 inches wide and 5 inches deep. This part is sold separately. No tools are required for this repair, the filter simply slides in and out using the easy-pull tab on the filter.

Micro Switch
★★★★★

(14)
Part #3B73362F
This microwave door switch provides power to the various components in the microwave when the door is in a closed position, and interrupts power when the door is open. This door switch is approximately 1 1/2 inches long, and has 2 metal prongs called terminals that extend from its body. If your microwave will not turn or heat properly, there could be an issue with the door switch. You can check the switch for continuity using a multi-meter. With the actuator button depressed, you should see continuity between these terminals. If there is no continuity the switch will need to be replaced. NOTE: Before you begin this repair, first make sure your microwave is unplugged, and that your capacitor is discharged. A capacitor stores large amounts of electricity even when your microwave is unplugged.

The fuse-time delay may also be known as a line fuse or a microwave fuse, and it is a piece for your microwave. The function of this part is to shut off the microwave if there is a power surge, in order to protect your microwave from damage. You should consider having a service technician install this part as the high-voltage capacitors in a microwave can contain a very harmful electrical charge, even when the microwave is unplugged and has been inactive for some time.

This part is made of clear glass. If the glass on the existing light bulb is broken, you may need to use a pair of needle nose pliers to remove it.

Part #6549W1S013H
If the turntable on your microwave does not rotate, or you can hear a grinding noise, the problem may be with the motor. The motor is typically located below the floor of the oven, and is accessed through the bottom. The motor is normally held in place with a retaining screw and will have two wires attached to it as well. If the motor is making a grinding noise it will need to be replaced. If the motor does not turn, you can check for voltage or continuity with a multi-meter. Make sure the power is disconnected from your microwave before beginning this repair.

Diode (Cable, Assembly)
★★★★★
★★★★★
(1)
Part #6851W1A002E
Usually found kitchen appliances, this OEM-certified diode cable assembly helps to convert power from the transformer to the magnetron, to heat up your food. A damaged cable assembly will cause your appliance to heat food inconsistently or to not work at all. You might notice a burning smell or a loud buzzing sound coming from your appliance. If you do not replace a broken cable assembly, the components that produce heat in your appliance can overheat and fail. To replace your cable assembly, start by unplugging your appliance from any electrical source. Remove any protective casing from the assembly by unthreading any screws or clips. Disconnect the cable assembly from the transformer and the magnetron with pliers. Reinstalling a new cable assembly requires you to reverse the previous steps. Please keep in mind that this cable assembly is sold individually.

Sandy - For model number 72186013010
December 14, 2023
I just now ordered the thermal fuse/thermostat PS3530468 from you but I need to know the location of this part in my combo microwave/convection oven. Do you have it on a diagram? How is it accessed? Thank you! Problem…I was cooking a pizza at 450 degrees (I’ve never used this high of a setting before now, but the pizza required it) and the oven stopped suddenly, and although microwave part works fine, the oven will not heat at all. All controls work like normal.
Chris Boyle Profile
Hi Sandy, thank you for the great question. This thermostat is located on the air guide, behind the control panel. You will need to remove the top case in order to access the thermal fuse. We hope that helps!

Kenmore microwave hood combo try to run it, and it counts down but no heat. Then saw f5 or 5f not sure which.
Chris Boyle Profile
Hey Sarah, thank you for your question. We have researched your model and found that the f5 error code issue is probably due to the humidity sensor, part number FIX3529192. If you have already taken care of that, then the problem is most likely to be related to the thermistor, part number FIX3528960. If you require assistance to place an order, please contact customer service. We hope that helps!

Broken door micro switch. (unit does not start heating)
37 of 68 people found this instruction helpful.
  • JAMES from BILLINGS, MT
  • Very Easy
  • 30 - 60 mins
  • Screw drivers
Unplug the unit before servicing. Need phillips screwdriver. Open door. Use step ladder to access and remove 2 small screws from top of the room air diffuser at top of unit. Slide diffuser slightly to the left to align the diffuser's plastic tab on the left side to rotate toward you. (The wires for the front control panel are at the far l eft side of this difuser, but difuser is slotted for easy removal). Once the difuser is removed you will see 1 screw at the top that secures the pannel cover on the left side of the unit. Remove screw and slide this panel slightly up and out. This exposes the plastic frame that holds the upper and lower door switches. To locate the door switches and observe how they work, close and open the door and watch the door (bayonets) open and close the micro switches. Do the (red) buttons on top of the switches move up and down when the door bayonets push and release? If the buttons do not "pop" up when opened the switch is defective. The switch frame is secured with 2 screws. Remove screws and rotate the unit out for easy access to the micro switch(s). The internal (spring?) on my unit that is suposed to allow the red (visible) button on top of the switch to "pop" up when the door is opened was broken. Carefully pry the switch outward while being careful to lift the plastic holder-piece that holds the switch in place. Be careful, there is a small pin on the frame, so rotate the switch OUT toward you while lifting (carefully) the plastic holder-piece (you will see it on top of the switch). You can use an ohm meter to test the continuity of the switches. But if the buttons don't "pop" they are defective. Replace switch and reassemble.

  • Randall from ARCADIA, CA
  • A Bit Difficult
  • 1- 2 hours
  • Pliers, Screw drivers
Watched a couple of repair videos on Youtube by searching for the model number. Found out what to do in order not to get shocked by the powerful capacitor.
Ordered the two switches (To be sure, I could have ordered a third switch as suggested in the videos.)
Bought a tamper-proof star bit to get the cover off. Followed the dir ections to replace the switches. - I broke the harness and had to use some super glue, but it's all good. I should have removed the harness instead of trying to get a switch out while it was still in place.
It's all back together, and the wife is happy!!
