Janine February 03, 2020 for Model Number Jenn-Air Microwave (30+ years old but appears new) We experienced a costly power surge due to a loose ground wire at the meter and as a result lost several tv's dvd players, radios and the microwave. How can I tell what part I need to remedy the problem. There is absolutely no "life" in the unit. Hopefully, replacing the fuse will do it. Electric company claims no liability so the cost of repair is on me. The microwave matches the oven so hopefully I can repair the unit. The oven escaped damage.
1 Answer Hello Janine, in that case the control board would have been damaged. If you will supply the model number we can then check if the control board is still available. Read More...

Dewayne T June 24, 2016 for Model Number WMH32519CS I have a Whirlpool stove top microwave. The outlet has power and I've changed the fuses twice but get nothing from microwave. The panel lights don't even respond. Please tell me what to check to determine and fix the issue.
1 Answer Dewayne, If the display is working but will not respond then this would most likely be caused by a faulty touchpad. If there is no display then you will want to check the other thermal cutofffs in the microwave to make sure that they have continuity. Read More...
Dewayne June 24, 2016 for Model Number WMH32519CS The microwave does not power up. There are no lights glowing. I have changed the fuse twice, the outlet has power. What are the possible causes of no power at all?
1 Answer Hello Dewayne. You will need to check the power board and the thermostats in the unit. You can test this with a multi-meter TJMA-DMT3. Here is a link on how to use a multi-meter. http://forum.appliancepartspros.com/oven-repair-including-ranges-cooktops/4810-how-check-continuity-ohmmeter.html Read More...
Tom January 09, 2016 for Model Number GH7145XFT1 I just recently noticed that the exhaust fan does not work on our microwave oven. You can hear a hum noise when you depress the fan button, but does not sound like it's actually working (Rotating). I suspect it's either the fan motor itself or more than likely the HV Capacitor. Am I on the correct path?
1 Answer Tom, The HV capacitor would have no bearing on the fan motor. This will most likely be a faulty fan motor. Check the motor to make sure that it is getting 120 vac to it and if it is then the fan motor will need replaced. Read More...

Maw September 07, 2014 for Model Number KBMS1454RSS0 The microwave blows cold air not hot air no heat.
1 Answer Maw, Normally with an issue of a microwave not heating would be caused by a faulty magnetron. You will want to test the magnetron which should have <1 ohms of resistance. If the magnetron reads more than that or open then the magnetron would need to be replaced. Read More...
Ray June 16, 2014 for Model Number vmh 1164xvs 2 Replaced the capacitor hv it lasted about 10 days, but the capacitor was used and hv diode was used to.
