Bernie S. October 15, 2019 for Model Number ME21H706MQS/AA My Samsung microwave model #ME21H706MQS is showing an E83 code.
1 Answer Hello Bernie, This fault code indicates a communication loss between the main PCB and the Sub PCB. As per the service manual, you will need to either replace the communication wire or the control circuit board DE92-03624D. Read More...
Kf August 22, 2018 On my Samsung over the range microwave my control panel went dead. I can slam the door and can get it to light up again but when I try to start it it goes dead again in about 1 second. Is this the door switch? Or what else could it be?
1 Answer KF, The first thing to check would be the door switches to make sure that they are good. If the door switches are good then look for loose connections and replace board if connections are good. Read More...
David Skorupa December 16, 2017 for Model Number SMH9207ST/XAA-0001 The microwave is cold dead, outlet is ok, fuses are ok, overheat cutoff sensors are OK I have a vomm that I am using for testing, any more suggestions? I have discharged the capacitor prior to testing.
1 Answer David, If the fuses are good and the thermal cutoffs are good then you will want to check the door switches to make sure that they are good and if they are then the control board will be the issue. Read More...
Bryan August 02, 2017 for Model Number Kenmore 40185053210 microwave The microwave will cook indefinitely as long as it is plugged in and the door is closed. There is a humming sound, which I believe is the normal hum of the magnetron. The cooling fan and the turntable do not run as the malfunction is occurring. The cooling fan and turntable are operational and function normally when the microwave is commanded on as normal. Once the timer finishes counting down, the turntable and fan stop and the hum and cooking function continue until the door is opened. Closing the door will cause the oven to hum and heat it's contents automatically and indefinitely. What is causing the magnetron to run constantly? Thank you.
1 Answer Bryan, The most likely cause for the microwave to have the magnetron running continuously will be a faulty control board. The part number of the control board will be DE92-02329A. Read More...
Larry February 26, 2015 for Model Number MMV516635NP The microwave runs but does not heat. I believe it is the micro switch from what i have read. Could this be the problem? If yes how do I access the switch to replace?
1 Answer Larry, It would be more likely that the thermostat on the magnetron, the diode or the magnetron has failed as opposed to the microswitch causing the unit not to heat. Read More...

Skeeter June 01, 2014 for Model Number Kenmore 401.8505 My Kenmore microwave is two years old. It can be set for various tasks and it comes on and completes the cycle as usual. The beeper sounds when the cycle as ended. The clock switches back to time of day as normal. Then when the door is opened the microwave starts again. It just sounds like the fan is running but I am not sure. It will do this several times if I keep opening the door. After waiting several minutes the door can be opened without the noise starting. Can you tell me what is causing this malfunction?
1 Answer Hello Skeeter, You will need to replace all three door switches to correct the issue. They are all included in the assembly DE96-00414A. Read More...

1 Answer Hello Tony. One of the door switches are bad and will need to be replaced on the unit. 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...
Josh S November 24, 2012 for Model Number mmv4205baw hello, got this unit new in 2009. Within a week had a repair guy out. The door safety switch mechanism had to be replaced. The repair guy was pretty sharp and knew right away what needed replacement and said it was not uncommon for this to have occured .I was not home so i didnt get to observe the repair, however it took only a couple minutes. how can I repair and what parts do i need ? thanks
1 Answer Josh, Chances are, you won't need anything, but an adjustment. But you may want to have the switch bracket DE66-00168A and switches 3405-001033,WP3405-001034. You didn't mention an issue, but, the bracket or switch mounting tabs, have probably "flexxed" and the switches are not being activated properly. Read More...
David F. December 15, 2011 for Model Number JMV8208BAB My door will not latch. I opened the door to use the oven but when I shut it it would not latch. I can hold the door shut and it works fine. I bought this 2 years ago at sears. Can you give me some advice as to what my problem is?
1 Answer Hello David. Check and see if the latch locks in the door move up and down with tension. If not, you will need to replace the door assembly DE94-01398D. The manufacture does not sell the parts separately. If it is good, you will need to remove the over cover off the microwave and check the latch housing DE66-00168A and see if it is broke. Hope this helps. Read More...
