light bulb burned out
Remove the top of the microwave, regular phillips screws on sides, torque screws on back. Lift up back and slide off cover. Light bulb socket is easily detached and bulb unplugged and replaced. Slide cover from back lifted slightly so lip will slide into front of microwave, than replace screws. Be sure to unplug microwave before you start.
My wife lifted out the broken part and dropped in the new ring guide. It was a direct replacement part that fit perfectly and now works great. She was also the one to diagnose the problem, research and order the part.
Microwave would not heat food evenly with the new rotating ring guide i ordered it was as easy to replace as one, two, three. Took out the old ring guide and replaced it with the new one it was simple because it could only go in one way. i had it done faster than the time it took to write this. i love it works great food heats up evenly and it was a lot cheaper than a new microwave.
Microwave Function Not Working but Speed Cook Okay
Used diagram on the web-site and a screw driver to replace the fuse and just one of the 2-Terminal Micro-Switches. When I looked at the three micro-switches one of them had a brown connector and you could see it had been burned. I just replaced that 2-Terminal Microswitch and the connector and the Fuse. Now the Microwave is working fine.
After reading reviews that there was no power what so ever and a fuse replacement will solve the problem, I tried it. Replacing the fuse is very easy (and I am not handy at all). All you have to do is remove the microwave cover from the top by removing two screws, slide the cover to the left and pulling the cover off. Then remove the grill in front of you, by removing one or two screws. The fuse is in front of you, use pliers and be firm but gentle. Replacing the fuse is easy but it did not solve my problem.
Microwave would only heat food items to a warm condition
Removed microwave cover using screwdriver and anti tamper bit available at local hardware store. Megnetron had broken magnet making discovery of deffective part easy. Removed wire connector and three screws attaching magnetron to case, removed magnetron and installed new item in reverse order. Installed cover and made popcorn for operational check of microwave. Happy days..........
PartSelect had helpful repair instructions on-line which made the repair easier and faster. Unfortunately, there were other problems with the oven that immediately blew the new fuse I had just installed. It was then determined that additional repair would most likely cost almost as much as a new microwave.
First unplugged the microwave, took top grill off, took control panel off, took wires off and used color coded tape to make sure they went back in right places, took fuse out and replaced it and put every thing back and it all worked fine and to top it off my wife did it all. So it was pretty easy.
My service tech removed the cover on the microwave then removed the damaged cord, installed the new cord then the cover. After testing for proper operation placed the microwave back in service
Timer, light and control pad worked. Turn table and heat did not work. Oven would not start up.
I first read where someone had the same problem. Their solution was a burned-out fuse. I ordered a new fuse...installed it and that did not solve my problem. I revisted PartSelect and read how Marla (from Arlington, TX)solved her problem. I purchased a secondary switch and when it arrived, I made a copy of Marla's instructions and followed them to the letter. I installed the new secondary switch into the secondary space, put everything back together and the oven STILL DID NOT WORK. I had to take the latching panel apart again and test each switch to see if there was another bad one. I found that the third switch was burned out. So I took the new switch out of the second slot and installed it into the third slot. I tested the switches before reinstalling the latching panel. This time everything worked. So I put everything back together, reinstalled the microwave on the wall, tested it again, and everything worked perfectly.
The groove inside the microwave that the rotating ring guide traveled was rusted due to moisture; the rusted groove caused the rotating ring guide to lag, putting pressure on the ring guide until it broke. I sanded the rusted area and repainted. The interior of microwave looks like new and the rotating ring guide now has a smooth surface to rotate. The ring guide was very simple to install without any tools.
