Parts for Maytag MMV5000ADA: 05 - Internal Controls Parts

The Fuse is an OEM part for Whirlpool microwaves. It is a crucial safety component designed to protect the microwave from electrical surges and potential short circuits by breaking the circuit if the current flow exceeds safe levels.

Causes of a bad microwave fuse can include electrical surges, faulty wiring, or normal wear and tear over time. A blown fuse will render the microwave inoperable, as it cuts off the power supply to prevent further damage or hazards.

Symptoms of a bad microwave fuse include:

• The microwave not powering on
• The microwave stopping mid-operation
• No response from the control panel or keypad
• Sudden loss of power during use

This OEM part is also compatible with Maytag, KitchenAid, Jenn-Air, Amana, Magic Chef, Admiral, Norge, Roper, and Kenmore models.

This fuse block is the appliance electrical terminal used to secure and connect a fuse or wire harness, restoring a safe electrical path for heating and motor circuits. It helps maintain reliable power transfer inside the appliance. What it does:

• Provides a secure mounting point and electrical connection for a fuse or inline connection
• Enables proper power flow between the control and high-voltage components
• Can cause loss of power, intermittent operation, or heating issues when damaged or corroded
• Replaces a worn, cracked, or melted terminal block to restore safe connections

• Disconnect power to the appliance before starting any work
• Handle wiring carefully; secure all splices and fasteners to manufacturer torque recommendations

The Diode is an OEM part for Whirlpool microwaves. It plays a crucial role in the microwave's operation by allowing electrical current to flow in one direction, essential for converting AC power to DC power, which is necessary for the microwave's components to function correctly.

Over time, the diode can fail due to electrical surges, general wear and tear, or exposure to high heat. A bad diode can disrupt the microwave's ability to heat food properly, leading to inefficient performance or complete appliance failure.

Symptoms of a bad diode include:

• Microwave not heating
• Sparking or unusual noises during operation
• Burning smell from the microwave
•  Microwave shutting down shortly after starting

This OEM part is also compatible with Maytag, KitchenAid, Jenn-Air, Amana, Magic Chef, Admiral, Norge, Roper, and Kenmore models.

This primary door interlock switch lets the microwave know the door is fully closed so cooking can start. Replacing a worn or sticking switch restores reliable start/stop response and helps prevent intermittent operation tied to door-latch signaling. What it does

• Confirms the door is closed to allow the control to power the cook circuit
• Common symptoms of a failed switch: won't start, stops when the door is jostled, or only runs when pressing on the door
• Installs on the latch/door switch bracket alongside secondary/monitor switches
• Helps correct inconsistent or no response when pressing Start

• One primary door interlock switch

• Disconnect power at the breaker; microwaves contain high-voltage components that can retain a dangerous charge
• Access the latch/switch bracket, then release the switch from its clip or screws
• Move wires to the same terminals on the new switch; match orientation/actuator position
• After reassembly, verify the unit does not run with the door open and starts consistently with the door closed
