Brett - For model number MMV5156AAS

our microwave isn't heating up water (or anything) but everything else is working correctly it seems - lights, glass table turns, clock works, controller appears to be working, yada yada yada... ;-)
help!
this is a Maytag and i'd like to fix it and your site said it was a 95% chance it was a Part Number: PS11747959 or a 25% chance of being a capacitor.
Thanks, Brett
Hi Brett, thank you for asking. If your microwave is not heating, the most likely culprits are the diode, part number PS11747959, the magnetron, part number PS11742817, and the capacitor, part number PS11743000. We suggest that you inspect these parts for any damage and replace the defective part to resolve the issue. If you require assistance to place an order, please contact customer service. We hope that helps!
