20 Most Recent Maytag MMV5208W Microwave Oven Questions & Answers

You need to reset the filter timer. Press the "options" button, then "3" for filter timer, then "start". The filter timer should now be reset and you shouldn't see it say clean filter anymore. Hope this helps.

If it is out of warranty, I'd just buy another. Most repairs would cost more than a replacement nowadays.

Here should be what you need, links to the parts lists for each of the colors. The last letter signifies finish, i.e. "S" for stainless, "B" for black, "W" for white, etc. http://www.searspartsdirect.com/partsdirect/part-model/mmv5208w

You can get the manual on the link below.

Hi,

Here is a tip that will help you to figure out what is wrong with your Microwave Oven....

Basic Microwave Oven Troubleshooting Tips

You will need to get a Maytag repairman, this is a systems error problem caused by a faulty systems control board or it has detected a problem in the microwave oven.

The turntable motor is defective and must be replaced, I suggest contacting the Maytag people for service.

alot of these units can just be vented right out front grill of unt. outside would be alot better so that the odors are not being smelled indoors but the fan housing can actually been changed to blow up or you can make it blow out the front grill requireing no venting at all...hope this helps you out good luck

Hi,

You may even see the orange "glow plug" (called a hot surface igniter) glowing orange and so assume that it's OK. Not necessarily!! You have to measure the current/amp drawn by the igniter and compare it to this repair sheet before you can say it's OK or not. The gas valve has a bi-metal that open when a certain amount of current flows through it to heat it up. The igniter is wired in series with the gas valve. As the igniter gets older or weaker, it's resistance increases to the point where not enough current is flowing to the gas valve bimetal to open it up. As a result, the gas valve never opens up. BTW, a common symptom of the early stages of this problem is erratic temperature control in the oven due to delayed firing of the bake burner while cooking.

The hot surface igniter will not come on - check igniter with a ohm meter, you should have continuity through the glow bar, the glow bar can also crack = new igniter time. The glow bar comes on but the main burner will not light - you should have an amp probe to check properly, but often this is a hot surface igniter problem. The hot surface igniter often looses it's ability to get hot enough to open the gas safety valve. The safety valve can fail, but most times it is just a bad hot surface igniter. The hot surface igniter can also quit part way through cooking , in other words the oven may cycle a couple of times and then it just sits there with the red glow from the igniter. See this service sheet for the proper way and amp readings for the hot surface igniter system. Hot surface igniters do weaken and will eventually generate less heat than they normally could. When this happens they can still allow marginally correct current to flow to the oven gas valve for it to open but not get quite hot enough to ignite the gas burner immediately. When this happens, gas released into the oven can sometimes build up to the point where when finally ignited, the amount of gas lit can cause a small explosion inside the oven or cause an odor of gas with out the oven working. Yes, your glow bar igniter can glow orange-red and still be bad!! How a common gas valve works - click here.

Let me know,if needed further assistance.

Hope i helped you.

Thanks for using ' Fixya ' and have a nice day!!

Have you checked inside the microwave? Usually they have the manual hidden in there.

Replace the faulty door switch.

one of micro switch could be bad or the main board issue is there
