Scott September 15, 2011 for Model Number ygh5184xps We were cooking in our MW, suddenly there was a huge blue spark and the MW stopped working and jumped the breaker. We tried to have it going again but everytime we press start the breaker will jump. The fan, clock and lights are all functionning.
1 Answer Hello Scott. You will need to remove the outer cover off the microwave and see if the inverter W10217710 is burnt or if there is a short inside the microwave. You will look for burnt or broke wires and spots on the control boards. Hope this helps. Read More...
Ray April 09, 2011 for Model Number gh5184xps3 The exhaust fan is nonfunctioning. What are the possible parts that would restore service?
1 Answer Hello Ray. You will need to test and see if your getting power to the fan motor. If so, you will need to replace the fan motor. If no power is present, then you will need to replace the control board. Hope this helps. Read More...
Tonja April 01, 2011 for Model Number Whirlpool MH9181XMQ-0 microwave The power has been reduced in our microwave for about a month after we smelled smoke once during its operation. Now we are getting an F7 error code after the microwave has been operating for a very short time. Can this be something other than the inverter board? It would not be worth it for us to replace the inverter board on this unit.
1 Answer Hello Tonya. Here are a few things to try to determine the problem for an F7 code on your microwave. Microwave will not operate (cook). F7 error code appears on the display. Electrical circuit interruption between L1 and Neutral in the microwave inverter circuit. Possible reasons: 1. Check door, hinge and cavity front alignment and adjust as needed. 2. Check the operation of all interlock switches. 3. Check over temperature protector for the magnatron. 4. Check all Cavity Thermostats for closed circuit. 5. Unplug the oven for at least 40 seconds. If this solves the problem A. Check the Cooling Fan for proper operation or blockage B. Check the resistance of the magnetron thermostat. It should be 0 Ohms, replace if necessary. 6. Check that the control cable to the 1100 watt inverter is properly connected to plug P2 on the display PCB & Adjust or Reconnect 7. If interlock switches operate correctly, replace 1100W inverter. 8. If problem persists, replace control assembly. Hope this helps. Read More...
Greg February 28, 2011 I have a whirpool GH9176XMS-1 microwave that takes about 2 minutes to heat one cup of water to a coffee temperature. I have replaced the maganatron, as well as capacitors WPL 8184092 and W10217709. What else should I be looking at as it seems like I am only getting half the normal power? Thanks.
Mike February 25, 2011 I need to replace the 1100W inverter board on my Kenmore 665.63794304. You show two inverter boards for this model (the AP4364963 and the AP3605831). Can you tell me which is the 1100W board? Thanks!
