If you go to the link below, you can view the entire parts diagrams for your Sharp microwave. You can also use this as a basis for the assembly / dis-assembly of your unit. It goes without saying you can also order the part directly from Sears Parts Direct. I will tell you that the cost of the part is almost relative to purchasing as new microwave. After you fathom in your labor and the cost of the part ($100+ and shipping), it almost makes sense that a new unit would be more economical and reliable. This is just the first part to fail and, although it will probably work, there is no guarantee. Just something to think about.

Door catches.

One of the latches may be damaged or misaligned and is not lifting the other latch clear of the housing. Remove from any power source, remove the cover of the cabinet. Slacken off the clamp mechanism and ease the clamp over the guide to allow the door to open. When the door levers are in place, the door may be easily adjusted by slackening off the screws that clamp the door catch/actuators in place whilst holding the door closed and then tightening the screws. The rear of the door may be adjusted by slackening the lower door hinge screws and adjusting as required.
I hope that helps.

Door switches

If one of the door interlock switches is not switching properly or there is a condensation problem on the sensor control panel, either can cause the turntable/light/oven to come on even though the "Start" button has not been depressed due to the wiring of the switches.
Check for faulty door switches and/or contaminated actuators.
I hope that helps.

Microwave Oven Basic Troubleshooting Tips

If everything works, but the microwave oven does not heat, this is commonly caused by a failed magnetron. The magnetron is essentially, the heart of the oven that produces the RF energy that is used to heat your food. In order to replace a defective magnetron, you will need to consider the following:

1. You will need to uninstall the oven from over the range in order to replace the part (you will need to do this anyway, if you decide to buy a replacement oven).
2. Ensure the oven is UNPLUGGED before servicing anything inside the cabinet and remove the exterior case in order to access the magnetron. There are several websites that you can use that illustrate how the oven is assembled:
searspartsdirect.com pcappliancerepair.com appliancepartspros.com
NOTE: If you've never repaired an appliance on your own before, a microwave oven is usually not a recommended appliance to start with. Some models can be rather involved in taking apart.
3. The magnetron replacement part number for the model you have listed is 505137 and is listed as item 1-12 in the parts index. It costs about $100. 4. This model also has a thermperature fuse, listed as item 1-10 that can also cause the same symptoms if blown. The fuse is essentially a thermostat acts as a fuse if the oven cavity overheats. The part number is 46-1518457-3. You will need to remove the thermostat from the oven and take a resistance check across the component terminals to determine if it is good or not. A low resistance reading indicates a good thermostat. An infinite reading, indicates a blown thermostat and needs to be replaced. The average replacement cost is about $10. I would recommend you check all fuse associated with the oven before assuming the magnetron has failed.
Review the parts illustrations at the recommended websites to see if this is something that you may be able easily take apart and reassemble.
If you have any questions, please post back and let me know. I hope you find this information helpful.


CAUTION: DO NOT operate a microwave oven with the exterior cover off. The voltage inside the High Voltage network where the magnetron is installed can exceed 3,000 volts!

Chances are the display does not really need to be replaced.

On these models, there is a conductive rubber "zebra" strip that's used to connect the keypad and dis0play to the connections on the circuit board.

Sometimes steam or grease gets in the connection.

The solution is to disassemble and clean the area with 50% or better isopropyl alcohol then put it back together.

The service manual gives you step by step disassembly information and we have uploaded it to our site here to help you.

If you prefer, we regular perform this service for $39.95 nationwide.

We're happy to help you with free advice and we'd appreciate your thoughtful rating of our answer.

Thinkind about it, if you open the door, the light is on and you canset time etc but no start function.
Check/replace the door interlock switches as I think there will be a faulty one or the small internal fuse has blown if it has two fuses.
Hope this helps.

If the owner's manual doesn't cover it and there's no obvious cover on the side or rear, you'll have to remove the outer wrapper.

The light is probably located on the right side in the air duct attached to the magnetron or on the top of the oven cavity.

Most bulbs can be matched up at hardware stores, home improvement centers, and places like Wal-Mart or even large grocery stores.

If the oven is still heating, but the carousel isn't turning, this problem is commonly attributed to a turntable motor that has worn out and may need to be replaced. The motor is attached to the center plastic piece (called a turntable shaft, turntable ring or coupler) under the middle of the glass tray. The following link explains how to access and replace the motor:

This is a very simple repair, that usually is not expensive. The price will be determined by the model and manufacturer. This repair can also be performed on an over the range model microwave oven WITHOUT uninstalling it.

You can refer to any of the following websites for comparison:

searspartsdirect.com
pcappliancerepair.com
appliancepartspros.com
repairclinic.com

The first three sites listed have helpful exploded view diagrams to assist you with locating and properly identifying the part(s) you may need.

The average price for a motor is about $35 to $45. If your model number is not listed at all the sites, use the part numbers from the Sears site and use them for your search criteria. The model numbers don't always cross reference, but the part numbers do. If you need assistance identifying the correct part number, please post back with your complete MODEL NUMBER and I can assist you. I hope you find this information helpful.


NOTE: Even though the carousel may not be turning, you can still use the microwave while awaiting parts. You will need to physically rotate whatever you are heating about midway through the cook time to ensure even heating. Early model microwave ovens were not equipped with a rotating carousel and this was the common routine.

The service manual is at our site here.

In most cases, disassembly and cleaning is all that's required.


If you would like to have us do this repair for you, we do that for $39.95 nationwide.

Our Sharp R899 microwave also uses one of these. After much cross referencing I found that a FMOTDA057WRK0 would work. Purchased from Kitchenware Online and all working fine.
