Floyd April 21, 2012 for Model Number jmc9158aab the convection oven touch sensor wont work,every thing else works.
1 Answer Floyd, We're not quite clear what you mean by " convection oven touch sensor" If you mean the keypad or button for the convection cycle, you would want to consider a new keypad / membrane assembly 53001135 as the most likely issue, based on your post. Good Luck and Thanks Read More...
Kaykay April 10, 2012 for Model Number KCMS185JSS4 Hello, My microwave is heating but the side panel sparkles as long as the microwave is running. I called somebody and they said it is a magnetron problem. Could there be something else? If it is magnetron, how easy or difficult is it to fix it?
1 Answer Hello, This is a magnetron W10859575 issue. When the unit is run without a load to absorb the microwaves or the unit is run with a metallic item inside the unit, the microwaves are reflected back into the magnetron and burns up the magnetron tube. You should not run the unit in this condition as it may cause more damage which may very possibly be unrepairable. The difficulty is not too bad. Remember that it is a two man job to remove and reinstall the microwave if it is mounted over the range. Also use several towels to protect the range top, especially if it is a glass top unit. The only thing you have to worry about is discharging the high voltage capacitor. Unplug the unit and, using a screwdriver with a wooden or electrically rated handle, contact the unit frame first and slide it into the capacitor terminals, one at a time. Most modern microwaves have a built-in circuit for capacitor discharge, but as soon as you depend on this fact, you will be working on one of the units that isn't equipped with such and before you know it,it's time for a road trip to the hospital. Be careful and wear gloves. Read More...
Ryan March 15, 2012 for Model Number mh6150xms1 My microwave was working great. An hour later went to pop some popcorn and it started smelling like burn plastic not heating and making loud noise. Could this be magnetron?
1 Answer Hello Ryan. Yes, if the unit is making a loud humming/buzzing noise, you will need to replace the diode WP8205489 and the magnetron W10859575. Hope this helps. Read More...
Dwight February 26, 2012 for Model Number GT4175SPB-2 Marnetron number is 2M248J(GS). The bottom number is 6M 14 36 does this number matter?
1 Answer Dwight, the manufacturer replacement magnetron for your Whirlpool Microwave model GT4175SPB2 is part number W10859575. This is the manufacturer replacement magnetron and will work on your appliance. The numbers on the magnetrons shouldn't make a difference at this time. Thanks! Read More...
Dan September 17, 2011 for Model Number KCMS2055-SS0 Just stopped heating a couple seconds after last use. How do I know what part to replace ? The magnetron, diode, or transformer? Thanks
1 Answer Hi Dan. In the control panel/keypad is a tech.sheet that will show the values needed of each part. Do Not test under power or electrically charged ( Capacitor ). Tha magnetron part # is W10859575. The diode part # is WPR9800486 . The capacitor part # isWP8184813 . The usual parts that fail are theese. Thank you. Read More...
Mickey September 11, 2011 for Model Number GT4175SPB-0 My microwave oven stoped working. CTRL pattern looks fine. When hitting "START" button, light comes on and the clock starts countdown. However, table does not turn, no heating. What could be broken?
1 Answer Hello Mickey. It sounds like the door switch 4392027 is bad and will need to be replaced. You will need to test and see which switch is bad. 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...
Cesar June 12, 2011 for Model Number MT4140SKT My Whirlpool microwave oven works on everything except it is not heating. What do you think is the problem?
1 Answer Hello Cesar! If the microwave is not heating it could several different parts. The main parts you will need to look at and test is the magnetron W10859575, transformer WPW10170369 and high voltage diode WP8205489. You can test the parts using a multimeter MA-DM1. Here is a link from our free repair forum you can refer to for help with using a multi meter. Hope this helps, thanks! http://forum.appliancepartspros.com/oven-repair-including-ranges-cooktops/4810-how-check-continuity-ohmmeter.html Read More...
Dave K March 30, 2011 for Model Number kcms145jss1 My microwave quit heating. Everything else seems to be working. Would there be something else than the magnatron being bad. I didn't see a listing for a diode that I read about in your forums? THANK YOU !
1 Answer Hello Dave. You will need to look and see if the magnets on the magnetron are cracked, or if the tip is burnt out. Also test the diode WP8205489 and make sure it is ok. It should only read resistance in one direction. It could also be the H.V. transformer 8172170 causing the unit not to heat. Hope this helps. Read More...
