Door Switch

Hello Jeff, Thank you for the question. Yes, the most common part replaced for this issue is the door switches. You can test for continuity with a multi meter as well before replacing the switch. Thank you for your inquiry, good luck with this repair!

Hello Gregory and thanks for writing. It sounds like a faulty Door switch PS12071302 check and replace if needed. We hope this helps. Please contact us anytime.

Hello Jake, thank you for your question. Yes, this is the middle switch, Part Number: PS12071302. Good luck with your repair!

Hi Shirley, thank you for your question. It could be yes. There are a few parts that could cause this issue however. You may also want to check your two other door switches and your fuse as well. Good luck with your repair.

Hello Tom, Thank you for contacting us. We have researched the model you have provided and have found the part you are looking for is Part #: PS12071302 and Part #: PS12071303 (two required) for the Door Switches. The Fuse is PartSelect Number PS12071294, To access the Fuse you will need to remove the appliance from the mount and remove the screws at the back of the appliance to remove the casing of the appliance. We hope this helps!

Hello Josh, thank you for your question. You can test your door switches with a multimeter. First, unplug your microwave. Some door switches have only two metal prongs extending from the body, while others have three. Those with three terminals will have a common (COM) terminal, a normally closed (N.C.) terminal, and a normally open (N.O.) terminal. Those switches with only two terminals will have either a common terminal and a normally open terminal, or a common terminal and a normally closed terminal. We are providing directions for testing a door switch with three terminals. If you are dealing with a door switch that has only two terminals, ignore the part of this test that does not apply to you. Using caution, remove all wiring harness leads from the switch's terminals. Use your ohmmeter to test your switch for continuity. Begin by setting your ohmmeter to measure resistance at a scale of Rx1. If you are using an analog meter, touch the metal tips of the test leads together and zero your ohmmeter by adjusting the thumbwheel in the front of the meter until the needle reads '0' on the scale. Touch one meter lead to the COM terminal and the other lead to the N.O. terminal. Do not push in on the actuator. Your meter should give a reading of infinity, meaning the circuit is open, and there is no continuity. Without moving the meter's leads, press down on the actuator until you hear a 'click'. With the 'click' of the actuator, the meter should produce a resistance reading of zero ohms. This means the circuit is closed and continuity is present. (switches with only two terminals do not 'click' when actuated) Keep the meter lead that is touching the COM terminal in place, but move the other meter lead from the N.O. terminal to the N.C. terminal. You should receive a reading of infinity when you push in on the switch's actuator. When the actuator is released, you should receive a resistance reading of zero ohms. Now, set your ohmmeter to its highest resistance scale and touch one meter lead to the N.O. terminal and the other meter lead to the N.C. terminal. The resistance reading between these two leads should be infinite. Finally, take a resistance reading from both the N.C. terminal and the N.O. terminal to any metal mounting hardware that is a part of the switch assembly. You should receive a normal reading of infinity. Any readings that differ from the ones presented here are indicative of a defective door switch that will need to be replaced. Door switch part number PS12071302 and Switch part number PS12071303. We hope this helps.

Hello Robert, thank you for your question. There are 2 of one type of switch and one of another. You will need to test all three. The part number of the switch of which there are two is PS12071303(NLA) and the other is PS12071302. 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.

Hello Shane, thank you for your question. We have researched your model and found that the issue is probably with the Diode, part number PS12071314. If that does not take care of the issue, then the problem is most likely to be related to Magnetron, part number PS12705729. If you require assistance to place an order, please contact customer service. We hope that helps!

Hi Mark, Thank you for your question. There are 2 door switches listed for your microwave. The part number listed under your model number for the switches are PS12071303 and PS12071302. If you need help placing an order for them, customer service is open 7 days a week and anyone will be happy to assist you. Please feel free to give us a call. We look forward to hearing from you!

Hello Michael, thank you for your question. Each microwave door has 3 switches in the door interlock There are two of these PS12071303 in your door interlock. And, there is only one of PS12071302. Good luck with your repair.
