WMH2175XVQ5 Whirlpool Microwave - Instructions

I removed the damaged microwave door and easily replaced it with the newly purchased one.

I had to cut the leads on the thermostat to enable the wire terminal clips to fit on the leads. Not hard at all when the right tools are available. Care must be used because the leads are subject to being damaged. “ Hold leads with narrow needle nose pliers while cutting!

I was sent the wrong fuse by you. I had to procure a fuse in another manner. Very disappointing. The repair was simple. It just took longer because of the failure to send the correct fuse.

Two Mounting plates # PS12074431 were sent to me and both do not fit.
Model number MMV1175JZ-0
Serial number TRX-17. 24546
Manufactured April 2020
Contacted Maytag and even sent pictures to show the problem with alignment of the mounting plate not fit in the back of the microwave.

After removing the over-the-range unit (no small feat!) I had to figure out how to open the case (good puzzle!). Capacitor had already discharged, so it was very easy to reach in, pop the old fuse and install the new one! As per your advice, I found out I was a "28%-er"! Upon re-installation, the microwave "sprang to life"!! Thanks, "Part Select"!! I was already shopping around for a new machine! (Now if you could only tell me an easier way to re-mount this heavy beast over the stove!!!)

Unscrewed glass panel, removed old bulb, cleaned glass panel and installed new bulb. Screwed panel back into place.

when I opened the back cover of microwave, the diode was kind of blackish blown, since there was light bulb and fan were still working, i thought it could be problem with any one of the components like; magnatron or capacitor or diode, so first replaced the diode and mica at the end of the magnatron duct, there was problem with door switch as well. i fixed that too. Now it is working. It cooks bit faster, Wondering why?

I simply lifted out the glass rotating plate and inserted the new support. How complicated can that be?!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

This is an under the counter microwave. Simply removed the two screws holidng the vent grille on top of the unit, lift out the old charcoal filter, clean the vent fan exit surfaces then replace the filter and put the vent grille back. Be careful to not drop either of the two screws after one is installed as you will have to take the grill off and start the screw installation again unless you have a magnetic to retrieve the dropped screw. An easy five minutes at most to change.

took it to Buttermore appliance in Auburn Indiana and he changed the fan and added another fuse

Open compartment, installed bulb, closed compartment

Took the front off and behind a plate was the fuse, so I replaced it for what good that did!!!

Replaced filter which came inrecord time.

slide into place under hood

You had alerted that it was imperative to unplug unit before starting to remove defective bulb. As described, there was silicon on bulb and socket and bulb broke upon my attempt to remove. Had to use needle nose pliers to get metal base of old bulb from socket, then all went well.
