Thermostat

Tai F. for Model Number Maytag over the range microwave-convection oven MMV6180

Answer Hi. There are three (3) Thermostats in your microwave, and neither has control of the cooling/hood fan. If the cavity thermostat "opens" everything would go blank/dead, until the thermostat cooled down and reset. If the magnetron thermostat were to "open" the microwave would not cook, until it was replaced. At this point it looks like one of the hood fan relays has a "sticky" contact, and you'll need to replace the control board W10259219. Thank You.

Answer Ryan, There are two(2) Thermostats in your microwave, and neither has control of the cooling/hood fan. If the cavity thermostat "opens" everything would go blank/dead, until the thermostat cooled down and reset. if the magnetron thermostat were to "open" the microwave would not cook, until it was repalced. At this point it looks like one of the hood fan relays has a "sticky" contact, and you'll need to replace the control board W10350619. 

Edith H for Model Number MH1160XSD - 1

Answer Edith, First you will need to remove the M/W from the wall, then remove the outer cabinet, so you can access and test the primary door switch, the MW relay on the control board and the thermostat on the magnetron tube, with a multimeter. You will need to be very careful, these are high voltage components and you can hurt yourself if you aren't careful. The additional information we sent you may be a bit more helpful. Thanks and Good Luck 

Mark for Model Number WMH1163XVQ-1 whirlpool microwave

Answer Mark, the magnetron thermostat 8206342 and the cavity thermostat W10269232 are a good place to start. The magnetron thermostat should have reset and would be a closed circuit after the unit cools down. The cavity thermostat is a"one shot" thermostat, when it gets hot and "opens" it stays open. If both thermostats check proper( a closed circuit) then you'll need to check the secondary door swith W10269460 for a "closed" circuit, with the door closed and check for 120 VAC on the Brown wire pin 1 at the control board to the high voltage transformer, you may have a faulty control board W10211457. Thanks and Good Luck 

Tommy A. for Model Number wmh2175xvb1

Answer Hi Tommy. No, Not unless extreme temperatures are reached. With an ohm meter is should read closed. The magnetron part # [wmh2175xvb1 ], and diode part # W10492276 and capacitor part # W10138798 are all in the same circuit that fires togetjher to make "heat." Thank you.
