1 Answer Brent, the door switches would need to be checked after unplugging the power supply cord. With the switches accessed, the door would need to be opened and closed multiple times to identify if the switches are being activated by the door hook each time. If not, it is possible that the door is sagging and not closing properly. If the switches are activating every time, the failure would likely be in the main control. However, it appears a number is missing at the end of the model. If the model number could be verified and provided in a new question, this will allow the most accurate information to be presented.

Rodell Widemon May 09, 2023 for Model Number WMH31017HZ2 Can you show a video of how to replace the microwave bulb that lights up the cooktop? The reason I ask is that the original bulb had a ground on it and any bulb you buy from the store doesn't. Does the bulb have to be grounded to the microwave?
1 Answer Rodell, There does not need to be a ground on the light bulb and you simply just install the bulb. Read More...
Earl February 07, 2023 for Model Number mvh250c When you put a timed amount with touch pad it races through without keeping proper time.
1 Answer Earl, this would be a main control failure. Unfortunately, the main control R0000349 has been discontinued by the manufacturer and is no longer available. Read More...
Mark R October 29, 2022 for Model Number WMH32519HZ3 I had a lightbulb burn out on the one that lights up the cooktop below. When my tenant went to unscrew from socket the glass separated from the threads and sparked. I was able to retrieve the male part of the bulb. Put in a new bulb and the light didn't work. I went ahead and ordered a new socket thinking the sparking may have compromised it. After replacing the socket, I tested, and the light still didn't come on. I checked the wires for voltage that attach to the socket and was getting 120v. I turned the light on and off at the touchpad, but the voltage remained on at the socket even in the off position. The display was showing the light on in the hi and low position but wouldn't light up the bulb. Do you think the main circuit board was compromised from the arcing that happened? All the other functions of the microwave work except for the surface light.
1 Answer Mark, Yes, this would be an issue that when there was a spark it caused a problem with the main control board. Read More...

Tana July 15, 2022 for Model Number WMH31017HZ The hood light for my over the range Whirlpool microwave burned out. I have tried at least 5 different bulbs. All fit and come on but will not dim or turn off. Information on the original bulb is KEI 125v 40w. Do you have a correct replacement bulb for my appliance?
1 Answer Hello Tana, The problem is not the bulb when it will not dim. The control sends different voltages to the bulb for different levels of light. The issue will be with the board so to give you the proper part number for the board for your unit, we will need you to please post a new question including the complete model number of the unit in your home. There will be a digit after the "Z" that is necessary to provide the correct board. Thank you for your patience and understanding in this matter. Read More...
