1 Answer Hello Earl, there are a number of possible causes for no heat, an open fuse would cut the power to the microwave completely. To find the root cause would require step by step testing with a multimeter, a schematic and a basic knowledge of electrical/microwave operation. Read More...
Tom May 17, 2023 for Model Number WML555011HWO6 After two seconds the unit stops working. Power remains on, lights work and door can be opened using electronic pad.
1 Answer Tom, if there is a beep prior to the microwave stopping, the failure would be in the keypad W11219784. If the heat and the turntable stop but the timer still counts down, the failure is in the relay control W11443147. If there is not a beep and the microwave stops as if the cycle has been canceled, the user HMI control W11443148 is the likely cause of failure. Read More...
1 Answer Patrick, the fuse W11707984 would be located behind the control just to the left of the capacitor. Read More...
Christopher December 14, 2020 for Model Number WMH31017FB-0 Unit has no power, Outlet & circuit breaker are good, do I have to remove microwave from hood to find fuse. Thank you
1 Answer Christopher, If you remove the air grill at the top, there will be a screw behind it that holds the control panel in place. Once you have the screw removed then lift the control panel and behind it, there should be a fuse. This fuse will most likely be blown and if it is then it will need to be replaced and the door switches will need to be tested to make sure that they are good. Read More...
Ozzie November 05, 2019 for Model Number WMH32517AS1 Microwave is dead.. no power. Not circuit breaker. Removed fuse so can replace fuse Will this help?
1 Answer Ozzie, with the power cord unplugged, the fuse, door switches, and cavity thermostat will need to be tested for proper operation through continuity. The fuse W11707984 and cavity thermostat W10269232 should read continuity. The microswitches will need to be tested when the door is closed and opened. When the door is open, the primary W10727360 (switch at the top farthest from the control) and secondary W10269460 (bottom switch) switches should read open continuity and the monitor W10269458 switch (switch at top closest to the control) should read closed continuity. With the door closed, the primary and secondary switches will read closed and the monitor switch will read open. If any of these fail, they will need to be replaced. If these check good, then the noise filter board WPW10452535 would need to be tested for incoming and outgoing voltage once everything is plugged back in and the power cord is plugged into an outlet. The board should have 120VAC from the power cord, and 120VAC exiting to the main control. If 120VAc is leaving the filter board and going to the main control, then the main control WPW10476501 has failed. Read More...

1 Answer Hello Jerry, the fuse should be located on the noise filters, the power cord is connected to this board. Hope this helps! Read More...
Russ S. July 19, 2019 for Model Number WMH1163XVQ1 I have a whirlpool WMH1163XVQ1 that the bottom door latch got stuck . I got the latch open, but when I plugged it back in the breaker blow. I turned the breaker back on, the microwave came on, but when I opened the door, there was a pop and the microwave went dark. I thought the breaker trip again, but it was fine. I did some research and found out about the fuse in the unit, ordered a new one and put it in, and nothing happened after I plugged it back in. The microwave is still dark. Is there something else that would keep the unit from powering up?
1 Answer Hello Russ, if the unit is acting like it's dead but it shows power in, the board on the unit could be the culprit. Thanks! Read More...
Kelly May 19, 2019 for Model Number MH1150XMQ-1 Only the top half of the buttons on my control panel work, the numbers don't so I can't specify a cook time or control the vent. Is this a fuse problem or something more serious?
1 Answer Kelly, you would need a new keypad/control panel assembly, part 8185286, however the part has been discontinued by the manufacturer and is no longer available. Read More...
Dave November 11, 2018 for Model Number whirlpool wmh53520ch-4 range light bulb burned out and broke off in socket when I attempted replacement. I forgot to unplug unit when I removed bulb base from socket, shorted, sparks flew. New bulb doesn't work, assuming there is a fuse somewhere that needs replaced. Is this correct? How do I proceed? Thank you in advance for your help.
1 Answer Dave, If it blew a fuse the unit would be dead. However, you have voltage always sitting at one line so when you grounded it there is possibly a short and damaged the relay in the control. You should have 120 vac when the light is on or supposed to be on. No voltage and i would have to say the control would need replaced. Read More...
Misty H April 17, 2018 for Model Number WMH32519FS0 the fan will not work...? what could be the cause and how do i fix?
1 Answer Misty, If the fan is not working then you will want to make sure that the fan is getting power to it. If there is power to it then the fan is faulty and if there is not then the control board will be the issue. Read More...
