As a landlord I have fixed many appliances via the internet, I was ready to replace a tenant's microwave but after watching your video I am ready to take a look inside and see if I can fix it, Excellent video - very clear concise and easy to understand.
Probably the most thorough and informative video I have seen in a long time on explaining something in laymen's terms. Most people either leave things out that may be obvious to the video maker or professional but are important to diys. Very nice job. I
This guy gets to the point. Other "how to videos" waste way too much time with common sense/ basic mechanical/electrical knowledge stuff. Which btw, if you don't know the basics of some of this stuff, you better not even be messing with this High Voltage stuff!!! You will either blow off a finger or electrocute yourself!!! This video was very helpful in figuring out what the hell was wrong with my Magic Chef. Thanks Daniel!
I have a Maytag built in over the stove microwave too. I used it a lot last Sunday and I was thinking it over heated. When I walked back into kitchen there were no lights on. It must have shut off during cooking. I electrical outlet does have power. Everything is plugged in but no lights are on ? Does it have a fuse? What do you think could be going on? Thank you
Hi Dan, my husband would like to ask you a question…should the fan be spinning when the microwave is on? We are trying to Dx the problem, however it doesn't seem to be the High Voltage part you are mostly talking about here, it heats everything just fine, we turn the microwave on, the fan is NOT spinning and it's making a pretty loud noise, it is not the turntable we turned it off. We have a KitchenAid it is the same exact one in this video. Hope you get this. Lora
Hi, My Kenmore OTR microwave is over 15+ years old, the problem, the VENT fan kept running, the only way to turn it off is to unplug the microwave power. All buttons work except the vent fan off button. The microwave still look brand new, we hardly home and it hardly been used and since it still heats up food I hate to throw it away, please help.
I wonder why they would not waterproof the area, or keep condensation out of the area of the circuits. I guess it all remains on cost. Thank you for you video. I use be in school for HVAC. Do you have a License that allows you to buy part; that people without License can't buy?
Hi Dan. I have a GE Profile Microwave over the range. It started "sparking". When I turn the microwave on, it starts making noise. Also, I something starts lighting up behind a rectangular flap on the right side of the microwave internally. Once this stops, it cooks my food. Is this a sign that the magnetron tube is going bad?
Dan, The whirlpool under counter microwave I have stopped working today. The timer will count down but nothing happens. So If I put 2 mins in it will start counting down but the microwave is silent. I tried starting the vent fan and it worked so I shut it down and started to try it without the fan. Now neither of them work. The timer still works though but the microwave is silent. The exterior and interior lights aren't working either but I'll try replacing the bulbs before I dig further on that. I googled around and found that it could be the Diode or and the thermal fuse. any suggestions? could it be the door switch? I was thinking it was a fuse cause it worked than didn't. if you think it is the fuse or diode where is it located? behind the panel or on the side of the microwave? Thanks
Hey Daniel, I have an Emerson microwave that is making that same sound EXCEPT the timer is not set to cook. All you have to do is shut the door and that humming starts. I have unplugged it and left it for a couple of hours and plugged it back in. Shut the door and the humming starts. It still heats food but it seems as though it heats it even faster than normal. Any suggestions?
I have a GE under counter microwave that is not heating. When I set it and close the door I hear it running and a humming noise starts on and off but it does not heat the food or water I used to check it. What can be the problem?
To answer questions: 1. yes fan runs during cooking 2. the arc lightning is literally fixed if you replace the only removable plate in the microwave. On the wall that has electronics, remove and get to manufacturer /ebay site and enter model to buy a total fix for 5$.
no, i do have a wholesale account at a parts store, however that part , the high voltage transformer was unavailable. I could have gotten one at a used parts store, however it just easier sometimes, with microwave to just get a new one.
Hey I need your help ... I have a Whirlpool Microwave it blew the fuse which I replaced. Now it is starting but stops after 2 sec. What could be the problem
I have a Panasonic genius #NNSD780S about 4 years old. When I open the door the oven begins to operate spontaneously. I tried hitting stop/reset and unplugged it. The problem persists. Is it worth fixing?
Hi Dan, Thanks for the good video, I just have a question, my microwave is turn on. All the bottom are working , but when I press the start bottom it 's very quite , no noise...I just wonder what wrong and what part should I replace . Thanks again,
whats happening when I go to start unit it trips the breaker. stove and microwave are on same circuit. I tried unplugging stove but it still keeps tripping breaker
I have a Samsung model smh1713s , runs but doesn't heat at all, I did run it one time the other day with using the timer but caught it was actually running it in cook mode, seems like right after that it stopped heating, I have changed out the door switch before last year, seeing videos on here suggest its the magnetron, I'm handy to work on things would like to change this myself any way of testing these so I know exactly what part it is for sure? thanks, cant find a video on here that shows how to change the magnetron on my model. also why do they sell these if steam is going to run these, I run my fans all the time but half the time the steam doesn't even get pulled up through the exhaust
i have a 2001 wirlpool microwave,model#MH8150xjb-0 and when i put something in it i get a hum ,light works but nothing happens a a F6 appears whats up?
I have a 2009 that the keypad quit lighting up a few years ago after the door got slammed so I'm thinking fuse.. I want to replace it myself because of no money to call someone out but afraid of the capacitor lol Do you have any tips? I've heard to touch the terminals with an insulated handled screwdriver but still scares me.
So after my microwave made a very loud grinding noise. it still comes on, but all i hear is that buzzing sound.... I know the Magnetron is still working because I test that by putting in a simple chocolate treat to see if it was heating. and yes it is heating. but its very quite now. like normally you turn on a microwave, you get the buzz, then it like ramps up, or a fan or something comes on, that is not happening. And Ideas?
Daniel Hawk I kinda go with Bill. It is normally that diode, capacitor, magnatron tube or transformer are wore off in future. Trust me, I have seem tranformer and capacitor blow up in real life. That time I misused mircowave capacitor which is why termal is pop up (or crash on top).
***** It can be fuse blow up on filter most likely. check it with multimeter in ohm mode. it should be 0.001 to 1 ohm. if it is still L0 then fuse is already blow up.
>>>>PLEASE HELP DAN!>>>>My 2007 over the range model#MH1160XSY-1, was also turned on while having a lot of condensation in it, and did the blue- loud- spark thing and flipped the breaker. I then tried it later, same thing. It seems to run fine for about 20-25 sec.,then kicks the breaker off. A new one will cost me $500, so I really need to try to fix this thing.>>>>What would you recommend to check first?>>>> Any info, will be greatly appreciated! >>>>Thanks so much for the awesome video!
Thanks for this. Turns out now I know my transformer is bad and have found a used one for $25 on ebay. My next step is to figure out how not to kill myself discharging the capacitor.

I am glad you demonstrated the buzzing sound. I was stuck in my repair process because both the magnetron and the diode tested fire.

Dan, mine seems fine but it will not heat, then we smell electronics burning but nothing looks burn. What do you think? Thank you

Very good, it was exactly what I need to diagnose my Microwave.
Question: My Microwave starts with door shut, What could be the culprit?
Frigidaire noise filter blown any idea of why? If replaced will it fail again from faulty parts or just a fluke component failure
Hi Dan, Thanks for the good video, I just have a question, my microwave is turn on. All the bottom are working , but when I press the start bottom it 's very quite , no noise...I just wonder what wrong and what part should I replace .
Thanks again,
What was the problem
whats happening when I go to start unit it trips the breaker. stove and microwave are on same circuit. I tried unplugging stove but it still keeps tripping breaker
I have a Samsung model smh1713s , runs but doesn't heat at all, I did run it one time the other day with using the timer but caught it was actually running it in cook mode, seems like right after that it stopped heating, I have changed out the door switch before last year, seeing videos on here suggest its the magnetron, I'm handy to work on things would like to change this myself any way of testing these so I know exactly what part it is for sure? thanks, cant find a video on here that shows how to change the magnetron on my model. also why do they sell these if steam is going to run these, I run my fans all the time but half the time the steam doesn't even get pulled up through the exhaust
How do you fix a turntable that does not turn? Everything else works fine.
i have a 2001 wirlpool microwave,model#MH8150xjb-0 and when i put something in it i get a hum ,light works but nothing happens a a F6 appears whats up?
What was the problem
pls i have a microwave that trips my breaker off on a dedicated circuit, but when i put another one on the circuit no problem.
I have a 2009 that the keypad quit lighting up a few years ago after the door got slammed so I'm thinking fuse.. I want to replace it myself because of no money to call someone out but afraid of the capacitor lol Do you have any tips? I've heard to touch the terminals with an insulated handled screwdriver but still scares me.
oops 2009 whirlpool
Our microwave beeps, and I get a N T C message- call for service ---- how do I clear this it works fine otherwise
So after my microwave made a very loud grinding noise. it still comes on, but all i hear is that buzzing sound.... I know the Magnetron is still working because I test that by putting in a simple chocolate treat to see if it was heating. and yes it is heating. but its very quite now. like normally you turn on a microwave, you get the buzz, then it like ramps up, or a fan or something comes on, that is not happening. And Ideas?
What was the problem
My DEFY microwave is tripping the electricity when I put it on. What can be the problem?
Raymond Masemola
side note: in my county in Ca we don't throw microwaves away. Our county hazardous waste will take them for free.
what do you say?can you repeat please
Would the microwave not run at all, no lights, etc, if the limit switch is bad? and where could I buy one? Thank you for your video!
Have you checked the fuse?
We finally had to give up troubleshooting and get another. Thanks, though for your input!
What about the diode? What about the capacitor? One of these plus the magnatron tube is normally the problem.
its hard to cover every possible problem .
Daniel Hawk I kinda go with Bill. It is normally that diode, capacitor, magnatron tube or transformer are wore off in future. Trust me, I have seem tranformer and capacitor blow up in real life. That time I misused mircowave capacitor which is why termal is pop up (or crash on top).

Thanks. Answered my question merry Christmas. Lol
how to change micowave transformer from a 60hz to work 50hz transformer
very nice video, and now im ready to take a part my microwave, it wont heats!!!
What was the problem
Did you fixed it ?
Great video thank you.
Maytag microwave works for under 2 minutes more than that it shuts off
Thanks for this. Turns out now I know my transformer is bad and have found a used one for $25 on ebay. My next step is to figure out how not to kill myself discharging the capacitor.
How did you know the transformer went bad !
@@scottvan1898 To be honest, I don't remember now. It was a long time ago. Sorry.
THANKS!
h8tr lol
u obviously wasnt using it anyway
YES!
