Hotpoint RVM1325WW Microwave Oven - Page 2 - Answered Questions & Fixed issues

None to my knowledge, but common faults include keypad failure (may show error code "F3") and cooktop light failure, both of which can be affordably repaired. (See link below) For more free DIY and other help & advice, feel free to contact me via my site below. Please include FULL model number*, FCC ID number*, + detailed symptom information.

JX-81J is the microwave recirculating charcoal filter for several models of GE and Hotpoint microwaves. The installation instructions will be available from the manufacturer with the model number of the microwave itself. One microwave that uses this filter is the RVM1535MMSA . See http://products.geappliances.com/ApplProducts/Dispatcher?REQUEST=HPSPECPAGE&Sku=RVM1535MMSA#tab1_ for all of the details on this microwave. The owner's manual, http://products.geappliances.com/MarketingObjectRetrieval/Dispatcher?RequestType=PDF&Name=39-40541-1.pdf , shows the installation of the filter on page 34. The guide for installing the microwave above the range is http://products.geappliances.com/MarketingObjectRetrieval/Dispatcher?RequestType=PDF&Name=39-40425.pdf . If you have a different microwave, add a comment with that model number. I hope this helps. Cindy Wells

It may be a bad connection on the fuse holder, an intermittent fuse, a bad connection on one of the thermostats or elsewhere, or a bad connection on the control circuit board. If you want to contact me privately with the model number, I can give you or a friend free DIY troubleshooting help and I also do microwave control circuit board repairs. For more free DIY and other help and advice, feel free to contact me via my site. Always include your FULL model number*, FCC ID number*, and detailed symptom information. * from the tag in the cooking cavity or elsewhere on the oven (or send a clear photo of tag) William E.

Have you tired unplugging the oven for 5 minutes (must be cool if you did a cleaning) and see if it will reset the system and unlock it.

The control buttons are likely defective. Is the MW working?

Can the safety switch is faulty. Try to repair it with a technician before use. If you wish to get some details; check the site linked here. Pull up older posts. http://electro-medical.blogspot.com/

All that is required to crack/break an item that is microwave safe is a fine crack or deep scratch. Water will expand so quickly as the microwave energy heats up the water, it turns to steam and cracks the plate with the pressure build up.

If you mean the plate will continue to turn as long as the microwave is plugged in to electricity, then you have a short in, or a defective circuit board or master control. Very few places repair these, particularly since they are often made overseas, and parts are not readily available. Often your only choice is replacement. God bless your efforts.

Leonid, Here is one place you can try. http://www.repairclinic.com/Shop-For-Parts/a6b95c70d1007401/Model-RVM1325BW02-Hotpoint-Microwave-Handle-Parts

change computer control board

Too many watts on same circuit. Plug it into a different outlet and see what happens, not on same circuit. So one that stays live when micro trips circuit breaker.

Dear Jonathan, Here is a listing of the codes for Hotpoint Hotpoint Fault Codes AppliancePartsPros com . In your case it is a " Stuck touch Pad". Fare. Well.

Having An external battery probably dry cell .

make this test and fix it. God bless you

1. Check the power diodeThis electronic component is responsible for transmitting current in one direction. If the diode becomes defective it will cause your microwave to not heat. Test the diode and replace it if necessary.
2. High voltage capacitorResponsible for storing electricity, this part is a key component in any microwave. Remove, discharge, and test the capacitor to determine if it requires replacement.
3. Damaged magnetronResponsible for generating waves and producing heat. When your microwave is no longer heating properly, replacement will be required.
4. Thermal CutoffsExamine the thermal cutoffs on both the magnetron and the oven itself. Take off one of the leads and using a volt-ohm meter on RX1, check the terminals. If you get a result other than zero, replace the thermal cutoffs.

check for fuses

replace the plastic piece

check if there is an internal fuse attached to the transformer. if there is one and it is nt blown, replace the magnetron.

There can be short in the ribbon connector that connects the control panel to the rest due to some oily deposits. You can try to open it up, remove the ribbon, clean it and put back. It may take a few attempts to align correctly.I am assuming your model is similar to mine.

If you can open up, try to clean the ribbon connector. My oven was sending "1" all the time, filled the memory and caused permanent beeping! I wanted to cut off the "1" connection but after opening I found that the panel was diffuclt to disassemble. I just cleaned the ribbon connector and put it pack. It needed a few attempts to get it to work all the buttons properly. But then it has been working for more than year without problem!

disconnect the power cord from outlet wall by 45 seconds.And try again. and ready.God bless you
