20 Most Recent Amana ACM2160A Microwave Oven Questions & Answers

Nick, Usual life span of a microwave is 7 to 10 years. Unless you are going to try to attempt a repair yourself, I would recommend getting a new microwave. You will at least then be covered by a new warranty as well.

Hope this helps

This model does not list Stainless Steel as a feature. Stainless Steel is used in the interior (CAVITY) of a Microwave if it is a Combination Convection/Microwave Oven. The Convection Oven can reach temperatures of 400+ degreesF. This Temperature would MELT the paint off a painted interior.
Stainless Steel can be tested with a Magnet. It will not be attracted or "Stick" to Stainless.
Hope this answers your concerns!
Thanks!

If the fan in your Amana 10D microwave stays on and doesn't shut off until the unit is unplugged and re-plugged, there could be an issue with the fan motor or the control board. Here are some things to try: 1. Check to make sure the vent is clear and unobstructed. If the vent is blocked, it can cause the fan to stay on. 2. Check the fan motor. The fan motor is responsible for turning the fan on and off. If it is faulty, it can cause the fan to stay on continuously. 3. Check the control board. The control board is responsible for controlling the functions of the microwave, including the fan. If it is faulty, it can cause the fan to stay on or not function properly. If none of these solutions fix the issue, it is possible that there is a problem with the microwave itself. In this case, it is recommended to contact a professional appliance repair service for further assistance.

Your Amana Radarange is overdue for retirement. Best to not even try.

The magnetron is probably the single most difficult component to get to in the microwave. In my opinion I would just buy a new one.

This could be several things: 1 the magnetron that generates the wave. 2. The high voltage diode. 3. The capacitor. Since it is a high voltage device and can injure or kill you, if you are not versed in electrical repair and replacement., call for service.

You can try checking out the installation manual for an idea of how it was installed. It should be sitting on a mounting bracket and not attached to the sheetrock itself. However, you might be pulling on the mounting bracket when you tip it forward. You should have an extra set of hands to help you pull it straight forward and out, instead of tipping it. The installation manual can be found at https://d1vofmza27mmhi.cloudfront.net/product-pdf/amana-amv1150vaw-installation-instructions.pdf. Good luck!

The LV control (mains side) fuse is on the control board. The HV (lethal side) fuse is housed inside a plastic shell, next to the HV capacitor. For both, the outer shell (microwave oven's cover) needs removal. BUT: Mains must be off, preferably about 15 minutes to allow HV capacitor to discharge through it's internal drain resistor. AND: There will probably be one or more security tamper-proof screws on the cover, to prevent accidental injury through electrocution. WHY: Microwave ovens are the most lethal household appliances to open when untrained hands poke around. SUGGEST: Get an experienced tech to check it out. What makes you believe it's a fuse?

You have a serious short circuit, I suggest you call for a service technician
