20 Most Recent Maytag MMV5156AAS Microwave Oven Questions & Answers

Sorry to read about your problem, I hope this helps you out.
you may one of these issues.

1. Blown fuse in HV transformer primary circuit or HV fuse (if used).
2. Bad connections (particularly to magnetron filament).
3. Open thermal protector or thermal fuse.
4. Open HV capacitor, HV diode, HV transformer, or magnetron filament.
5. Shorted HV diode, HV capacitor (will blow a fuse), or magnetron.
6. Damaged protective VDR from filament to chassis (not commonly used).
7. Defective HV relay (not commonly used).

Microwaves must be serviced by technicians due to the inherent dangers involved in repairing these appliances. Internal capacitors can retain a lethal electrical charge even though the unit is completely unplugged. A microwave radiation leakage test must be performed on the unit following any internal component repair.

Check the fuse?

Hello,

To remove the handle, you will be needing a flat-head screwdriver and Phillips screwdriver.

Having got the above tools, follow the instructions below:

Step 1:

Disconnect power to the microwave. Simply unplug from the wall or turn off the breaker in your fuse box.

Step 2:

Open the microwave door. With the flat-head screwdriver, pry off the plastic panel from the inside of the door. Be careful not to break the panel in the process. The two screws securing the door handle to the microwave are located behind this panel.

Step 3:

Unscrew the two screws securing the door handle, then remove the handle. Align the screw holes on the new door handle to the screw holes on the door, then insert the screws and secure the new handle.
Step 4:

Snap back the plastic panel into place, then restore power to the microwave.
Make sure you follow the above instructions closely, and you won't have any problem.

For further assistance, please let me know:

I would say at a reasonable safe height. There is no requirement by the machine governing that measurement.

You perhaps have too many large appliances running on one particular circuit. Try unplugging everything you aren't using (coffee maker, toaster, etc) and if that doesn't work, I would suggest contacting an electrician to evaluate the circuits in your kitchen. You could also replace high wattage appliances for smaller ones, say a 750W microwave,

CHECK OR LOOK FOR SOME ONE TO CHECK THE POWER TRANSFORMER IN YOUR MICROWAVE.IF DO NOT PROVIDE THE VOLT OUTPUT YOU NEED A NEW TRANFOMER AND CHECK FOR BAD CAPACITOR ON POWER SUPPLY.

Go to managemyhome.com and click on the "Manuals" link at the top of the page. Enter your model number and your manuals are available in a .pdf (Adobe) format. You can download a copy or print for FREE. I hope this helps you.

It sounds like the magnetron may have either failed or is not being supplied with the extremely high voltage required to run it.

YOUR SAFETY IS PARAMOUNT

This is a job for a professional but if you are safety clued up, here's instruction.
Make sure the !!!!capacitor is discharged!!!!! before attempting any sort of repair.
Check the door interlock switches first then the high voltage diode with either an AVO model 8 or moving coil meter on high resistance range for short circuit, (DVM's won't show the fault!), the capacitor can fail and go short circuit, the feed fuse on the primary of the high voltage transformer and then finally, the magnetron is best checked by substitution.
Hope that helps.

Load test.

A simple safety test.
Place 1/2 litre of water in a glass container. Measure the temperature of the water.
Place in microwave and heat on full power for 1minute.
Measure the temperature after it has stood for 1minute.
If the temperature difference is more than 9 degrees Celcuis the magnetron is working and producing about 700Watts of heat.
If your microwave is labelled with 900 or 1000Watts. That is about right.
If the temperature is less then the magnetron is not working properly and may need replacing.

This a only a rough guide and any doubts you should consult an authorised service agent.

If you were to log on to the manufacturer's web site, I think you will be pleasantly surprised as usually one is able to download, by model number, Customer Instruction Manuals, and a list of Dealers for spare parts, as required.

Just Google the manufacturer's name and follow the links. Make certain you are directed to the manufacturer's web site as some search engines direct you to other sites and they charge for the information that is normally free of charge.

I hope this helps.

the light is simple take the back of and rplace the globe as for the fan i have looked a t the scematic and i cant see that it runs in line with the globe but it might meaning ounce the globe is fixed the poer will pass through it to the fan if the globe is replaced and the fan does not come on then you have a fault in line to it and it will need further investigation

best of luck happy christmas
please remember to rank my advice

thats weird

The magnetron is what makes a microwave heat. The megnatron can go bad causing no heat but let the rest of the unit work just fine.
partselect,com and daysappliance are excellent sites for parts, prices, diagrams, and more.
