Lei October 14, 2012 for Model Number YMH6140XFB-2 Hi there, I have a whirlpool microwave with hood fan, it stopped working, not even the fan and lights. but its clock is still has display. and the those buttons are still clickable, do you think it's the fuse that caused the problem? thanks!!!
1 Answer Lei, It's not likely the fuse, an "open" fuse would also eliminate the display. If you can't activate the lights or vent hood and you can't program a cook cycle, or change the clock time, it's most likely a faulty keypad 4393904. You may want to start there Read More...
James September 02, 2012 for Model Number WHM1162Xvb0 How do I get the control panel off to get to the fuse?
1 Answer Hello James, Unplug the unit first. Now if you run your fingers across the top edge of the unit, you will notice a couple of screws at or near to each end. Removing these two screws will enable you to remove the air grille across the front of the unit. It may have to slide to one side to come completely off. Once removed, you will notice a single screw in the center above the control panel. This screw holds the control panel in position. Once removed, you can slide the control assembly up and it will come off out of its' slots. The ceramic fuse is normally in this opening. Some configurations do not require the removal of the control panel to access the fuse. Read More...
Karla July 05, 2012 for Model Number gh7145xft1 I need to replace the fuse in my microwave but do not know how to get to it?
1 Answer Karla, First you'll need to unplug the power cord, Remove the screws, across the cabinet top, holding the vent grille to the cabinet. Remove the screw that attaches the control panel / keypad assembly to the chassis. Slide the panel up slightly to unhook the tabs and pull the assembly out and off the chassis. The fuse should be mounted on the right sidr of the opening. Be very careful, there are several high voltage components located in this area, and can cause severe shock and burns to your body if you touch them. Read More...
Ernie March 08, 2012 for Model Number GH5184XPS-4 My whirlpool microwave hood stopped working. I opened it pushed the start button and it turned off. Nothing works. What could be the problem?
1 Answer Hello Ernie. You will need to test and see if the thermal fuse W11707984 is bad and will need to be replaced. If so, you will want to test the door switches as well and make sure none of them are bad, and caused the fuse to blow. You can test this with a multi-meter TJMA-DMT3. Here is a link on how to use a multi-meter. Hope this helps. http://forum.appliancepartspros.com/oven-repair-including-ranges-cooktops/4810-how-check-continuity-ohmmeter.html Read More...
Brad March 03, 2012 for Model Number MH1160XSQ-0 The light under the microwave will not work, even with multiple new bulbs tried. It evens beeps when selecting the different light settings. Everything else works great as well. Is there a fuse somewhere for the light fixture or what would be wrong? Model # MH1160XSQ-0 and it's a Whirlpool. Thanks for any help!!
1 Answer Hi Brad. You need to use a volt/ohm meter part # MA-DM1. On the gray wire from the 1P3 wire and the Yellow wire from the 1P2 connector you need 120 vac output as you ask the light to come on. The control panel is part # WPW10164891. Make sure you have clean,tight conections. If you have the voltage output then you need to make sure there are no pinched wires from the panel to the bulb sockets. Thank You. Read More...
Tom February 21, 2012 for Model Number YGH5184XP I was changing a bulp with the MW still plugged in (duh), and there was a large spark and the MW lost all power. No clock, no nothing. I replaced the fuse AP4308182 and I still have nothing.......any advise?
1 Answer Tom, Check for 120 VAC at the new fuse , from the A/C line filter first. Then check the 4 amp fuses on the control board at the P12 connector pin 1 green wire, and pin 4 yellow wire. If either fuse is open, you will eliminate the voltage circuit to the control board. Thanks Read More...

Tom January 09, 2012 for Model Number MH7155XMQ-0 Trying to locate the fuse in my whirlpool over the range microwave. Do I have to remove the microwave from the wall?

Cindy July 07, 2011 for Model Number MH1140XMQ3 My microwave is not working at all, however the clock and the timer do work. Could it be the fuse?
1 Answer Cindy, No, at this point it would not be an in line fuse or thermostat. The timer and clock would not work, if it were. At this point it would be a door switch problem(there are several) or PCB (power control board) 8206534, W10211972 W10269458. The PCB is the more likely issue, at this point. Thanks and Good Luck.
