Janet May 21, 2013 for Model Number mh2175xst0 My microwave just lost all power with no warning. Is there a fuse in it or something else that would make it do this? I have checked the power outlet and it is fine.
1 Answer Hello Janet. Yes, you will need to remove the oter cover and test the fuse and the door switches in the unit. You can test this with a multi-meter TJMA-DMT3.

Mikez November 18, 2012 for Model Number WMH2175XVQ-2 We have this 2 year old microwave and everything works but it does not heat. Is the magnetron my issue?
1 Answer Hello MikeZ. You can test the magnetron. It should read less than 1 ohm and have no broken magnets. If bad, you need to replace the magnetron and the diode on the unit. Read More...
Beth March 10, 2012 for Model Number MMV1153WW0 Does a technician have to replace the magnetron? If not, is it a hard job to do or are we just as well off to replace the microwave?
1 Answer Hello Beth. I don't see why you couldn't do it yourself. As long as you pay attention to the dis-assembly and can re-assemble as it came apart. It really isn't that hard to change the magnetron W10754299. The hardest thing about it is if it's an over-the-range microwave. Removal and re-installation is the worst part of the job. Just put a few thick towels on the range and remember that the over-the-range microwave removal and re-installation is considered a two man job to prevent back injuries. Hope this was helpful and have a great day! Read More...

Ted September 23, 2011 for Model Number VMH1164XVS1 Microwave is in a rental apt. 2 years old and has barely been used but out of warranty. Everything works fine except it doesn't heat anything. Will replacing the magnetron fix this- if not which parts should I order? Thank You
1 Answer Hello Ted. The model number you provided is not working. It sounds like you may need to replace the magnetron and the diode. Look for cracks and burnt spots in the magnets and the tip of the magnetron. The diode should only read on a meter in one direction. You can test this with a multi-meter TJMA-DMT3.
