20 Most Recent Kenmore 80882 Microwave Oven Questions & Answers

Most major manufacturers supply manuals online so if you were to log on to the manufacturer's web site, you may be pleasantly surprised as usually, if available, one is able to download, by model number, Customer Instruction Manuals, Dealer Network for spare part supplies as required.

The information is normally free of charge.

I hope this helps.

could be the magnetron or high voltage diode is on its way out. take to Sears to have it checked out or just buy a new one.

If any wiring on the control panel was or might have been disturbed, I would want to check that. It may be that something (like a sensor) did not get plugged back in. Otherwise, I would verify that the door switches are working properly and the mounts for them are not loose or damaged. If this is a convection model, also check check the damper, damper motor, and damper switch. If you or a friend decide to work on it, we have *critical* safety, disassembly, and troubleshooting info (as well as a text file which helps in diagnosing and repairing door switch problems) at our site, which is linked at our listing here on FixYa: http://tinyurl.com/yzjozk You can find helpful exploded views, and often service manual portions here: http://www3.sears.com/

Grass...I'd go for checking the fuses and the thermosensor...a black plastic button with two wires coming out of it that is about the diameter of a dime and 3/8 inch thick. If either is open, no power to the magnetron. Your unit may have a diagram inside. Have a look. The magnetron...? I doubt it.

It's possible that it is a sign or trouble, but it will make seemingly odd noises when it is switched on and off. For the most part, you can wait until you see more definitive evidence of trouble. Watchful waiting is probably in order here for the next week or so.

Be doubly sure your microwave is unplugged first, of course! Be sure the fuse is not loose in the holder. If you can rotate it in the holder easily with just a thumb and finger, then it's too loose and the holder should also be replaced. That looseness causes a heat buildup, which makes the fuse melt open inside over time. If the new fuse blows as soon as you hit START then you likely have a shorted high-voltage capacitor. If it blows again a few seconds or minutes after you hit START, then you likely have a bad high-voltage transformer or magnetron. It's not inherently unsafe to replace a fuse, as long as you heed the safety rules. The microwave does contain and prodcue voltages that can be instantly lethal.

It turns itself on

1. Interlock switch If your microwave is turning itself on, the first thing to check is the interlock switch. This is usually the first thing to malfunction that could cause this issue. If the interlock switch is bad then it will need to be replaced.
2. Main control board If your microwave is turning itself on and the interlock switch is still working, the probable cause is the main control board. If the control board is defective it will need to be replaced.

But before throwing parts at it give these folks a call... https://www.repairclinic.com/RepairHelp/How-To-Fix-A-Microwave/74-6-878350-/New/Kenmore-Microwave-Turns-On-By-Itself-721-85033010 Best to you

It looks like it is too old. Nothing in Kenmore or Viking. https://www.google.com/search?q=Kenmore+Viking+851.8250800+manual ..

You've found the proper location if you're seeking for the fuse for your Kenmore microwave. The fuse is often found in the microwave's or behind the control panel. You must take off the microwave's exterior cover in order to reach it. After you've identified the fuse, you may see if it has blown. If so, you'll have to swap it out for a new one. It might be preferable to seek professional advice if you are unsure on how to proceed.

If you are getting an F-5 error code on your Kenmore hood combination, it typically indicates a problem with the temperature sensor. This error code may occur when you are trying to use the convection feature, as you have described.

To troubleshoot this issue, try the following steps:

Turn off the power to the unit and unplug it from the electrical outlet.

Wait a few minutes, then plug the unit back in and turn on the power.

Try using the convection feature again and see if the error code reappears.

If the error code persists, you may need to replace the temperature sensor. You can consult the user manual for your Kenmore hood combination or contact Kenmore customer service for assistance with this.

If the unit is still under warranty, it's recommended to contact Kenmore customer service for repair or replacement options.

These are all the top suppliers, but that model number is not showing. If the display has gone dim, you can get an electronics technician to replace the capacitor that runs the display. https://www.google.com/search?q=Kenmore+Microwave+318279601B+parts ..

It sounds like you may be experiencing an issue with your Kenmore stove's timer function. Here are a few steps you can try to resolve this issue:

Check the timer settings to make sure that the correct time and alarm settings have been entered.

Try resetting the timer by turning it off and back on again, or unplugging the stove and waiting a few minutes before plugging it back in.

Make sure that there are no buttons or knobs stuck on the stove, as this could cause the timer to activate repeatedly.

If these steps do not resolve the issue, it may be necessary to contact a professional appliance repair service for further assistance.

I have a godraj 20E 08 SLGX MICROVIEW OVEN .Can you plz tell me can I bake in this if yes then how i preheat it for baking

Maybe get the part here? https://www.partselect.com/Models/790803/

That is the strangest model number for a Kenmore and doesn't follow the normal 3 dot 7 ***.******* format of others. Just measure the front of what you have. They come in standard sizes. https://www.google.com/search?q=kenmore+%22326b1016p001%22+installation+manual ..

Unfortunately, this is not something that can be diagnosed from a distance, unless you had access to a "Kill-a-Watt" meter or equivalent. It could be caused by a bad door switch, a bad relay on the main board, a bad magnetron, or a bad HV diode. (The HV capacitor is probably OK, because if it were bad [shorted], it would blow fuses.)

Yes, a bad door interlock switch would cause this; either the top switch or the bottom switch. (The middle switch is called the Monitor switch. If it were bad, you microwave would blow fuses as soon as you press Start.)
