My electrician showed me on my machine which part is faulty and causing my microwave convection not to turn on. But from the diagrams- I'm not sure if it's part #24 or #31.Both look similar.- the place where my part is located on my machine is behind the top long metal which my electrician removed and it's more towards the left side top inside the machine. I hope you can identify the part so I can order it. Thank you.
Hello Chana, Thank you for the question. The Thermostat to the left is the PartSelect Number PS11736326. We hope this helps.

Hi John, thank you for contacting us. Based on our research, the thermal cut-out, part number PS2370041, that you are referring to is normally closed. If you have no continuity across the terminals, then this part is most likely faulty and may need to be replaced. Glad to be of assistance!

For model number PVM9179SK1SS
Hello Ben, Thank you for your inquiry. Pull out the plastic rack holders and check for any tin foil and pieces of metal that may have gotten caught beneath them, also check the racks for any paint chipping off of them and check the walls behind the rack holders for any paint or cracks in the side of the wall. We hope this helps and if you need help placing an order, customer service is open 7 days a week. Please feel free to give us a call. We look forward to hearing from 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.
The unbelievable happened. Our glass carousel cooking tray developed a crack. Each day the crack got longer. I ordered a new one on Tuesday and it arrived the next morning just before the cracked one completely cracked. I have never experienced such fast service. I highly recommend PartSelect and their helpful service.
