Kenmore Microwave Ovens - Page 4 - Recent Questions, Troubleshooting & Support

Deanna: There is a door sensor in the door frame of your microwave that tells the microwave if the door is open or shut. That sensor is not working for some reason. The sensor is near the latch mechanism and is made of plastic and has probably broken and needs to be replaced. I would take it to a small appliance repair shop. Microwaves are nothing to fool with if you do not know what you are doing.

I suppose it is possible you pressed the wrong button - if you disconnect it from the power for a few minutes it should cancel whatever action you might have taken, though realistically it is more likely your microwave has developed a fault that is best tackled by the repair shop.

There are parts inside the unit that fail and can cause this. One such part is the high voltage diode. You can repair it yourself but if you dont know electronics, I dont recommend it.

Unplug the unit for 5 minutes then plug back in. If that doesn't work, contact an authorized technician. Danger, High voltage inside.

I DON'T KNOW. BE VERY CAREFUL AROUND MICROWAVES DUE TO HIGH VOLTAGES AND RADIATION ALWAYS UNPLUG IT BEFORE SERVICING THEM. YOUR SYMPTOMS SUGGEST THE DOOR SWITCH NEEDS TO BE REINSTALLED OR REPLACED. IT SEEMS IT IS IN THE 'OPEN DOOR' POSITION. . I RECENTLY REPAIRED ONE. I UNPLUGGED IT AND REMOVED THE OUTER SHELL. I COULD SEE THE VARIOUS OFF/ON SWITCHES AND THEY JUST SNAPPED INTO PLACE INTO PLASTIC HOLDERS. I USED IDENTICAL SWITCHES FROM OLDE THROW AWAY MICROWAVE.OF A DIFFERENT BRAND, TO MY SURPRISE, THEY BOTH USED SAME SWITCHES.

I Agee with Ray - You can gain access to the lamp holder by removing the outter wrapper - unplug the power before you start

Electricity is stored in the microwave, and before removing the panel to remove the fuse, you must wait several hours with the power off, and the power plug disconnected. You really may not be the right person to attempt this, as you could be seriously injured if shocked. https://www.searspartsdirect.com/model/1koh14z3g3-000582

These sensors are made for particular temperature after achieving that temperature they cut off the supply for the product safety.

It shows that is there is some direct short circuit in the product if you are technical person then only check one by one HT diode,HT capacitor and finally HT transformer & megnatron.

I would suggest unplugging it for a minute and then plugging it back in and setting the clock to see if that fixes it. Sometimes the unit will go in demonstration mode or otherwise get glitchy. Ed Miller http://www.microwavecontrol.com

sounds like there may be a malfinction this can happen if the unit has been struck by lighting or if it gets to old, you can purchase the same unit here or purchase a new one>>>www.discountbargainprices.com

Check the fuse in the network module and after the high voltage diode

There are a couple of other parts which could render the oven "dead," but the fuse is located on a noise filter circuit board located behind the controller.

You need to remove the grill at least, then you may be able to see the fuse, but if not, you will also need to remove the controller assembly.

At my web site I have a video showing you how to remove a typical over-the-counter grill and controller assembly in about 5 minutes.

after you see the video, if you have other questions, please feel free to contact me by email through my site.

that should be clarified in your operator/user manual. look there for the codes.

What is your question?
