Potentialbuyer June 04, 2021 for Model Number JVM3160RF2SS A response from Sep 25, 2020 seems to indicate that this 70V range thermostat WB27X11213 thermostat actually will not show continuity at room temperature. Please confirm. If the Sep 25, 2020 response is correct, please indicate how to safely induce a close of the 70V range thermostat WB27X11213. Would heating it (while outside of the microwave) with a standard hair dryer generate enough heat to induce a close?
1 Answer PotentialBuyer, the thermostat WB27X11213 is going to be the blower thermostat and is located on the bottom right of the microwave base. It closes at approximately 158°F where it will cause the blower fan to operate. This can be done with a hairdryer when it is not mounted in the microwave. Read More...
Potentialbuyer June 02, 2021 for Model Number JVM3160RF2SS When checking for continuity and when door is closed - so their buttons would not be pressed, should door switches WB24X10204 and WB24X10146 NOT beep? Similarly, when the door is open - so their buttons are pressed, should they beep to convey continuity? Both my door switches do not beep when their buttons have not been pressed and beep for continuity when their buttons are pressed.
1 Answer Potential Buyer, This will really depend on the switch. Some switches will be normally open which means that when the button is pushed there will be no continuity and there will be continuity when the button is pressed. Some are normally closed which would be the opposite of Normally open. The switches that you have, appear to be normally open switches and would have continuity when the button is pushed.

Colin C January 13, 2018 for Model Number JVM3160RF1SS Microwave pops curcit breaker when start button is pushed. It is on a dedicated line. Tried it on different dedicated line and still breaker pops. Clock, light, timer set work. Only pops the breaker when I push start button. It Has steadily gotten worse in last month. Can not use at all now. Unit is only abought 15 months old
1 Answer Colin, You will want to check the door switches on the unit to make sure that the switches are good. If the switches check ok then look for any damaged wiring. These will be the most likely cause that would cause the microwave to pop the breaker. Read More...
