Brian April 26, 2012 for Model Number Control panel AP3597555 Is there any way to test this control panel to see if it is reading the door switches properly?
1 Answer Hello Brian. The is no way of testing the control panel for the door switches. The best way to test the switches is testing the switches themselves. NC and COM should read closed and NO and Com should read open. This should change when the button on the switch is pressed. 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...
Don April 16, 2012 for Model Number kemc308ksso Not sure if you have the same questions that I see pertaining to the micro oven AP2929323 switch holder. What I need to know is that there are eight (80 screws on the face of the micro. Two (2) of the screws I assume are holding the switch. Are there six (6) screws holding on the face or are some of the other screws holding something else. I see the corner screws but it is the two (2) in the middle that I need to know. Are there two swiches? Second question: The light is out in the micro. I have looked and it looks to me that the unit has to be pulled out to get at it. If not how to get at the bulb? Thank You
1 Answer Don, We're sending you some information, that should be a great help to you. It's in your email and will be a lot more helpful than attempting to explain the process in the limited space we have here. Thanks and Good Luck Read More...
Brian March 30, 2012 for Model Number YKEMC308KM01 Supplementary to my last question: Just in case it means anything, for a short time before I began getting a "DOOR" message, the light stopped coming on when the door was opened. However, during that time the light still worked when the microwave oven was operating.
1 Answer Hello Brian. It still sounds like the wiring or the control board are the issues if the switches are working properly. Hope this helps. Read More...
Brian March 30, 2012 for Model Number YKEMC308KM01 Follow up to my last question: I am getting a "DOOR" message when I press START to run my microwave oven. Everything else appears normal. I have now tested all three switches in-situ using the door to activate them and the switches all test okay. What else could cause a "DOOR" message? Thanks for any suggestions.
1 Answer Hello Brian. If the door switches are testing good, with the door closed, then you will need to look for a wiring issue, or the control board 8302346 is bad and is not reading the switches. Be sure and check all connections and wires before replacing the control board in the unit. Hope this helps. Read More...
Brian March 30, 2012 for Model Number YKEMC308KM01 I'm getting a "DOOR" message when I press START to operate my microwave oven. Everything else appears normal. My three door (primary/secondary interlock and monitor) switches test ok. Judging from the clicking sounds I hear when operating the assembled switch activation mechanism by hand, I suspect that these switches are not acting in unison. My Whirlpool literature refers to adjustment of these switches, but I can't see how. Any suggestions?
1 Answer Hello Brian. If the latches and switches are good, then you will need to replace the switch holders W10727408 and W10727408, based on the error code you provided. Hope this helps. Read More...
1 Answer Hello Repairgranny. The switch holder W10727408 is located inside the microwave and you will need to remove the outer cover to access and replace the switch holder on the unit. Hope this helps. Read More...
Mark June 02, 2011 for Model Number kemc308kss01 When I attempt to use my microwave the word (DOOR) appears on the LED screen and the microwave doesn't turn on. Would replacing part # AP3183007 correct this problem?
1 Answer Hello Mark. If the word door appears, you will need to test the door switches W10211972 and see which one is bad. You can test this with a multi-meter TJMA-DMT3.
