Internal light does not come on
Relay RY1 on the control circuit board has probably failed.

I have a Kenmore model 665.68611891 micro. The door pops open
Per se there is no real adjustment, but the linkage that holds the two nylon hooks on the door in may need to be lubricated with some lithium grease made for nylon or neoprene parts. The sliding neoprene part that holds the hooks in place is not sliding all the way down into position. That part once you take the cover off is right up against the right front hand side of your microwave exactly inline with the two hooks and next to the control panel assembly. Take the cover off and manually opening and closing the door you will see how that part moves up and down to release and secure the door in place. You will be able to see where to apply the lubricant which should be anywhere two or more nylon or neoprene parts rub against one another. Let me know how it goes or if you need more guidance.
Kenmore over range microwave oven / no power at all
Unfortunately, there is a good chance that when the bulb shorted out, it damaged the control board. The only way to know for sure is to do some electrical testing with a volt/ohm meter and the wiring diagram located within the appliance. The relays for the fan and the lights are part of the board. The power should always be disconnected when these bulbs are replaced or the board will be damaged. We would have an appliance repair person take a look to see what the deal is with the microwave.

Everthing shut off as if there is no power getting to it.
I would suspect the internal fuse, the magnetron TCO (thermostat/thermal cutout) or the oven cavity TCO (thermostat/thermal cutout).
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.To find helpful exploded view diagrams and get part numbers, you can just enter your full
model number at the Sears
parts site.
But Sears parts can usually be obtained for far less here by entering either the part number.Accessing some components for testing and possible replacement (such as the oven cavity TCO) will require you to remove the oven from the wall.If
so, the installation instructions are very handy, and it's best to have
two people since the microwave can be heavy and awkward.You may be able to download the installation instructions from the Sears
parts site. Just enter your model number there.
On the resulting page, look to the right for the blue "View manuals"
button. Click there.
That Sears-related site has many free manuals. While the manuals they
list there are all free, they will ask you to register.
Many times, the owner's manual will have the installation instructions
inside.
If yours is not listed there for free, you would have to order it
through the Sears
parts site.

Turntable will not turn
If everything works, light and micro heating.. then I have 4 possibles for you to check... 1st make sure you don't have a button that allow you to turn the turntable on/off... 2nd take the glass table out and check the center plastic spinner(pull it out) and see if its broken. 3rd your turntable motor is bad, and 4th the relay for your turntable on control board is bad... helpfully that will do it for ya.. good luck.. mike
Down lights/night light not working
I'll do my best w/out model#... remove 2 screws top of the air vent grill to remove grill.. remove 1 screw at top of touch pad.. you will see maybe 2 or 3 diff fuse area...thats how you get to the fuse for your question.. but I think the relay in your control for the light is bad. unforturnately you have to replace the whole board (in most over the range micro) good luck.. mike
Makes a loud buzzing noise and does not get hot
Have seen this many times.
Sounds like a bad CAP since a bad diode would blow the fuse and a bad mag would likely do the same thing.
Since yours is making the loud 60hz buzz you need to replace the capacator that will likely fix the problem. A $10 fix
Kenmore Microwave door adjustment
Depends on the door. It likely can be adjusted they have 2 screws on the door bracket you may have to remove the cover to see them. But it also needs to be checked with a leakage meter to make sure its not leaking.
RadioShack used to make a low cost meter not certified or anything but a good way to see if its leaking.
F9 error
Your Microwave uses "UltraWave technology"
I'll explain a few things about this wonderful technology...
The control board (accepts the pushbutton commands) has to talk to the inverter board to tell it how much power should be applied to the magnetron. The inverter board will then power the magnetron and inform the control board if the magnetron is working OK.
If there is something wrong with the magnetron or inverter board or a there is a communication breakdown between the control board and the inverter board...WA-LA-----F9----
A pretty reliable test for the Magnetron is to operate the oven and listen for a ticking sound 5-6 times about a second apart. If you can hear the ticking....The magnetron has failed..if no ticking, the control or inverter board failed.
The Magnetron sells for about $78.00 and is simple to replace. Check your owners manual for limited warranty on the MAG and electronic parts.
Microwave keypad issue
You have a failed
membrane keypad.
Most of the time, this is an economical fix. But shockingly, this keypad runs a whopping $110!
If you (or someone you
know) might want to replace it yourself, I have uploaded a handy guide with pictures showing you what's typically
involved.
You can usually find
exploded views and order parts by entering your model number at the Sears
parts site.
A full Sears/Kenmore
model number has 3 digits, a dot, then 8 more digits, such as

There
should also be a "mini-manual" hidden inside the unit behind the

Microwave won't heat
The two possible causes are a faulty door switch and a bad magnatron. You can pull the top cover off of the unit and check all of the door switches (there are 2-6 of them all on a common rail, me normally closed)). If the door switches all check out, replace the magnatron,
diodes, and capacitor
Microwave touchpad don't work
it can be repaired , but i would try to get an estimate for repairing the or replacing the chip board that controls the time and start up of microwave , if its going to be more than it woth to you , then you would ofcourse would want to get a new one , and being that is ten yrs you might just want to get a new one anyway .

Where is the capacitor located in the Kenmore Elite?
It depends on the model. It's usually behind the grille or control panel.
There
should also be a "mini-manual" 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.

our site, we have a video showing how to remove a typical
over the range control panel assembly in under 5 minutes.
