Cory May 12, 2023 for Model Number LMV1680ST I purchased a turntable motor for my LG microwave but it still isn't rotating or heating. I am now thinking it's the door switch that I need to replace. If the door switch is faulty would that prevent the turntable from rotating and no heat?
1 Answer It would and it is recommend to replace all three door switches at the same time. This assembly 3501W1A019D would do the trick. Read More...
Nader March 05, 2023 for Model Number 72186003010 Turntable runs when the door is open. Can you tell me what is wrong. When the door is open and I push the upper door switch. the turn table (carousel) stop turning.
Sas September 16, 2022 for Model Number LMHM2237ST Why do I have to slam the door of my LG microwave model LMHM2237ST for it to start working and heating? Can I fix it myself?
1 Answer Sas, Thanks for the question!!! Slamming the door points to a bad door switch. All three switches should be replaced at the same time. Thankfully LG makes this easy by offering an assembly (latch and all three switches together). The assembly is part number 3501W1A019S. Read More...
Arlene April 27, 2022 for Model Number 721 80039700 My Kenmore over the Cooktop Oven does not heat food. What replacement part do I need to repair my microwave oven?
1 Answer Arlene, this failure could be caused by a few things. The thermostats would need to be tested for continuity and all of them will have continuity with the exception of the blower thermostat (usually identified by the thinner wires going to it). The upper and lower door switches 3B73362F would need to be tested for continuity as well and should have continuity when the door is closed. If these test good and the unit did not sound like it was trying to heat, the failure would likely be in the main control 6871W1A497C (part has been discontinued by the manufacturer and is no longer available).

Ralph September 12, 2020 for Model Number Panasonic 721.63352300 When I open the door it starts running. The light comes on and the turntable goes around. I have tested the 3 door micro switches and they seem to test ok. Can a switch be bad even though it tests ok?
1 Answer Ralph, when the microwave is unplugged and the door is open, the top primary switch 3B73362F and the bottom door sensing 3B73362F switch should show open when testing for continuity. The middle monitor switch 6600W1K001C would show continuity when the door is open. When the door is closed the readings should be opposite. Based on the information provided, it sounds like either the door is not activating the switches properly due to the switch mount having moved, or the door switches have failed. Read More...

Oc December 28, 2019 for Model Number 721.85063010 My 7 yr old Kenmore Microwave won't power on, no lights on the panel. I've checked the fuse and it had continuity and power when plugged in. Any idea what could be bad? I don't see anything burned or damaged. Thanks for your help.
1 Answer Hello OC, at this point you will need a multimeter and will need to uninstall the microwave, remove the outer case, and with the microwave unplugged, check the thermal fuses, thermostats for continuity. If the microwave is plugged in check that there is 120v going to the board. Read More...
