JMC9158BAS13 Jenn-Air Microwave - Instructions

Disconnected power and removed Microwave housing cover, observed burned end plastic connector of wire connecting to the thermostat (or thermal overload sensor); slightly wiggle one of the 2 wires to the thermostat would cause microwave power to cut out (when plugged in power). When powered on, I would try to run it but power cuts out after just a few seconds. Removed the 2 wires from the old thermostat, removed the 2 screws that fasten down the thermostat, replaced with new thermostat and reapplied the 2 screws; cut off burned part of wire and resolder to new wire connector; reconnect both wires to new thermostat and reinstall MW housing cover. MW works good as new again. Thank you PartSelect!

hardest part was taking the microwave down off of the wall to gain access to the diode. Thought if was the transformer but ended up being just a blown diode. remove and replace and bench test. that part took 15 minutes . moral of the story don't boil water under the side of the microwave that holds the electric components.
