Hotpoint RVM1325WW Microwave Oven - Page 5 - Answered Questions & Fixed issues
Hotpoint stove model RF7640S1HT.
The white colour wires are the common one and should be 0 volts and the red is the live one. The two white wires are because the common connection it usually double in many points since it connect all common of the appliance together. So you are in the correct way the two wires are both common. In your case should be connected together however the voltage difference even the 40V is not normal. However you can check the voltage difference of both the white wires with metal body of your stove which must be 0V.

Will not heat, you can
Your probably hearing just the fan. If the primary part, (the magnatron), is bad you'll get no heating. With the cost of microwaves dropping dramatically you may be better off buying a new one, rather than replaceing the magnatron.
BTW, replacing the magnatron is not a DIY job.

Having just taken delivery of
Somehow in the process of selecting the language, the new selection isn't being "set", and that's usually by hitting some button to change it permanently. Refer to the manual and review your steps. It's entirely possible that the manual is erroneous, and an extra button will have to be pushed to seal it.
I found this blog on manualsonline.com:

Same problem here
When moving the machine into the house the language was accidentally changed to something I can only guess is Czech. Does anyone know how to reset the machine or change the language back to English?
Many many thanks.

RE: language problems
You need to press the bottons stated on the manaual for a few good seconds until it beeps. Once it beeps will turn off, once you turn it back on you can then change the language to English again.
Perhaps that will help.
Anyway, good luck, thanks for using FixYa, and hope this helps.

Oven turns on when I open the door
This
is usually caused by either a bad door switch or a loose door switch
mount, which are pretty simple problems to fix.
Door switch
or mount trouble is usually caused by slamming the door or by opening
the
door while it's cooking without hitting the Stop pad first.
There are
plastic mounts inside the microwave which hold the door switches and
onto which the door latches lock when you close the door.
The screws on these
mounts may be loose. If they get too loose, the switches will not be
activated properly.
Sometimes it's
a broken tab on the switch holder, allowing the switch to rotate just
out of position. This tab
can be hard to see, since it is under the
bottom edge of the switch.
If the switch mount is
broken, it's usually more economical and
safer to add a dab or two of hot glue to the mount to secure the
switch. Let it cool for about 30 minutes before using.
One test that sometimes
helps is to
gently lift up (and/or push down) on the door or handle as you try to
start it. If it works or tries to work, then it's a door switch mount
or
door alignment issue.
You can find links to helpful exploded view
diagrams and part ordering help
here.
I recommend that you bookmark that
link to your favorites.
There
should be a "mini-manual" (tech sheet) hidden inside the unit
behind the
control panel or hidden on the left side behind the grille, which is
very helpful when troubleshooting, testing, and locating
components.
At
our Web site, we have a video
available showing how to remove a typical
over the range control panel assembly in under 5 minutes.

Makes a deep humming sound but nothing gets hot
this sounds like your megertron has burnt out,, best bet is bin it and buy a new one there only £50.00p up now, to fix yours will cost all of that, and dont try fixing it yourself it can kill you, there could well be over 1000 volts inside your unit, tuch that and its a set of wings for you, ok!

Turntable not rotating
HI. The most common issue here will be a failed turn table motor. This motor is located beneath the actual table housing. replace this failed motor.
Note(The uncommon problem area will be a failed relay. although, highly uncommon, this may be the issue. i would advise to inspect the motor control relay located on the main control-board for visible burn marks)

Microwave has power turn table works won't heat
Check your door satey interlock switches.
If these switches fail (do you open the door while the machine is cooking?), the microwave doesnt know the door is shut and will not turn on the magnatron.
If you need more help, let me know.

Some of the buttons on our microwave electronic
They may not be fixable, depending on the type of buttons used. Many devices use a 'snap dome' switch, which is a little metal disk that 'pops' in and out like an oil can. Problem is, sometimes they get pushed too hard, or just get old, and they stay in the 'popped' position. It is sometimes possible to repair them, often not. A repairman is likely to charge more than the cost of a new one: they'd have to take the thing pretty much apart to get to it, and then may not be able to fix it.
Sorry it's not much help.

Model# rvm1435bj01 microwaves display pf &
F3 on a GE / Hotpoint
microwave means you have a shorted membrane keypad.
So until it is repaired,
please leave it unplugged or leave the door
open when it's not in use, and please do not leave it running
unattended.
On this model, the membrane keypad is not
available as a separate part, so you would have to order the control
panel frame assembly, which comes with a new keypad.
At
our Web site, we have a video
available showing how to remove a typical
over the range control panel assembly in under 5 minutes.
Then you disconnect the keypad strip as shown in the attached photo.
Next, move your circuit board into the new frame. That is a simple do-it-yourself job.
You can find
helpful exploded view diagrams and order parts by entering your full
model number here.
The control panel frame assembly with keypad is part number WB07X10874 and you can get it for
$75.98 here. (Compare that to $120.75 from GE!)
We're
happy to help you with free advice and we'd appreciate your
thoughtful rating of our answer.
