Kenmore Microwave 401.85059010 (40185059010, 401 85059010) Parts

I attempted to diagnose the four thermostats/thermal switches in the microwave....two right behind the control panel, one on top of the cooking cabin, and one under a metal shroud above the magnetron. While checking continuity with a voltmeter, i questioned one of them behind the control panel and the one above the magnetron. I then noticed a burn mark on the plastic connector sleeve for the one above the magnetron. I took a scrap piece of 14 gage copper wire and beat the ends flat with a... Read more

Opened up hinged bottom of microwave and saw that the old motor had come loose from its secure position. I decided to replace the old motor with the new one and secured it into place, which was very simple--just a matter of unplugging the old motor's connection; plugging in the new one; securing the motor in place with one screw; closing up the hinged bottom; putting in the new coupler; and checking to see if it works. It did! Read more

• broken bulb

Our microwave is mounted over the range, and has dual lights underneath that light up the range. A while back in trying to replace burned out bulbs, one of the bulbs broke and in trying to remove the rest of the bulb from the socket, I accidentally destroyed the socket. We worked fine with the remaining bulb for a year or so, but it finally burned out. Unfortunately all of the replacement bulbs would only last 1-2 days before burning out again in the one socket. When I'd originally destroyed... Read more

Main Fuse did not open, only fuse for high voltage section was opened. Prior to the fuse blowing a louder than normal hum was heard from microwave for 1-2 seconds prior. Easy fix is the high voltage capacitor, so first checked the voltage across the capacitor terminals to ensure capacitor was discharged. Typically should be reasonably discharged within 30sec-1min assuming drain resistor is still in place. Removed the high voltage cap, and checked the capacitance and did not get a reading....

Found the hi voltage transformer burnt out due to just being tired, checked all other components and every thing checked out ok.

Well continue to use your products in the future. Read more

I used a voltmeter to test continuity on parts. I found 2 thermostats burnt out. I replaced all of the thermostats and also changed a capacitor. It now works well! Read more

Replaced the part by watching YouTube videos. Read more

Once I figured out what this was, I saw a video on replacing it. Was super easy and I found the parts on Appliance Parts Pros. Ordered it and got it in a few days. Popped it in and it was good to go. After my wife accidentally melted the cover, I thought I was going to have to trash it and get a new one. Saved myself hundreds of dollars by doing a little research. I’ve used Appliance Parts Pros many times and everything from them has been great! Read more
