Chris July 06, 2016 for Model Number WMH73521CB-0 Hi, I really need your help with my whirlpool microwave. I ordered door switches and decided to replace all three. Now the display says close the door before operating. If I open the door is turn on the microwave in normal operation. There are three switches in this microwave. One is a three prong and the other two are dual prong. Do you know the sequence of how the wires are suppose to be wired up? The three prong switch I have a picture of but its with the others. Please Help! I really appreciate your help and support. Chris
1 Answer Hello Chris. You have it wired wrong. On the 3 wire primary, there is a COM and it should be black. NC should be Orange, and NO should be a white and black wire. Read More...
Ronnie June 04, 2016 for Model Number whirpool microwave model wmh310178b-0 Light stays on when door closed and of course won't work since appears open. When can shut door and light does go off then turntable will also turn when door is open. Which switch would be out?
1 Answer Hello Ronnie, Since the switches are exposed to the same current flow, if one fails, the other two will fail soon after. For this reason the manufacturer recommends to replace all three switches at the same time to prevent a repeat failure. Read More...
Anthony S December 10, 2015 for Model Number WMH5352OCS My unit has a display that says to open and close the door when you try and turn it on. I think it might be a switch not working properly. The issue I have with this thought is there seems to be two switches. If this is the problem which one would it be.
1 Answer Anthony, The most likely switch that would need to be replaced on the unit would be part number W10269460. Read More...
Trying October 16, 2015 for Model Number GMH3204XVS1 When the door is shut and the timer is set, it tells me to open and close the door. I checked door latch switches and found the bottom switch (that should be normally opened), closed. I removed switch and tested again and it tested correctly. It only tests bad with wires attached. Should I get a new switch? Also, where is the 3rd door switch located?
1 Answer Hello Trying, There are two switches in the bottom interlock support WPW10156813. The other is in the upper interlock support WP8206419. Read More...
