Short Review of Whirlpool Microwave over the Range: WMH31017HS

1.7 cu. ft. Over the Range Microwave in Stainless Steel with Electronic Touch Controls
I got this recently from home depot. This is a short review of the microwave. It costs roughly $200

The microwave does require some work before you install it above the stove if you have a hood vent or wall vent. This is the first time I've had to remove and rearrange the fan motor?

Can you temporarily stop the turntable

[@angrymathdude]

I don't believe so. Some whirlpool microwaves have a button to pause or stop the turntable but not this model

How far do it sticks out from cabinet door

[@angrymathdude]

The microwave is about 1/2 to 3/4 of in inch from the wall to the microwave
From the front of the microwave (not including the handle) to the back of the wall... it's 16 1/4 inches deep.
This microwave is deeper then my original samsung over the range microwave.

When I hit the light button, it shows Off, Full, and Half. I don’t know how to get it to turn on light!!! Thank you!!!

[@angrymathdude]

The light button should control the light below your microwave.
So if you press light.. you should see a light below your microwave.
Pressing it again.. should turn on the light half.
Finally pressing it a 3rd time will turn off the light.
IF it's not working.. I do think something is broken... maybe the lightbulb is broken? How long have you owned the microwave?

[@trudyjohns5150]

@@angrymathdude I’ve owned the microwave for 1 1/2 years. The light doesn’t turn on. I’ll check the light bulb when I find someone to help. I can’t get the cover off. Thanks for replying so quickly!!!

I bought the same microwave but the problem now is stops after 3 seconds or every three seconds
So any of you knows what’s the problem?
It’s new, but that was on display at the store

[@angrymathdude]

Hmmm. I hope its an easy fix.
Maybe try unplugging the microwave to restart it..
Or check the door is properly closing. Whatever you can check that's easy.
Good luck:
