Maytag 2.0 Cu. Ft. Over-the-Range Microwave - Answered Questions & Fixed issues

This should be addressed to the vendor of your unit.

That can usually be economically repaired. Details are here.

Had to of these to do this at work means it's time to replace it not worth fixing u can replace it for allmost for what's its worth

Generally the magnetron (the part that heats the food) is the cause if everything else still works. Unfortunately replacing the magnetron is barely cheaper than buying a new microwave though you can check out repairclinic.com to decide whether you want to attempt replacing the part.

Let me know how this works out for you.

"SE" means you have a shorted / shorting membrane keypad. It's not uncommon for it to be intermittent or partially operable.

On some models, the membrane keypad is not available as a separate part, so you would have to order the control panel frame assembly which comes with a new keypad.

In this case, you simply move your circuit board into the new frame. That is a simple do it yourself job.

You can find helpful exploded view diagrams and order parts by entering your full model number (with suffix) from the tag on the oven here.

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.

Then you unplug the keypad (as per the photo below) and move the circuit board into your frame.



Some connectors on the relays may have a lock:




On other models, you peel off the old one and stick on a new one.

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. It's here.

Or we can do that for you.

sounds like you have acontrol issue or maybe the transformer has failed not sending power over tho the mag... may even be one of the door switched has failed and the unit thinks the door is still opened......i would recommend calling manufacture as a unit only nine months should still be fully under warranty at worst you should only have to pay service fee for a servicer to come look at it...

It depends greatly on the ventilation but if you use 20" above the hob, as a good starting point. If you have extractor fans, maybe less. Don't forget the grill gets hot on top of the oven but there should be at least 10" clearence between the grill top and the microwave base, more if it is gas!

That model is not showing up. You should check the tag on it to be sure.

You can download Maytag owner's manuals and installation instructions here.

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

the fuse is usually mounted inside the unit on the same side as the control panel near the back end where the power cord is.......the cover must be removed to get access to it.

The new microwave oven dimensions are 29 7/8" wide, with a depth of 15 1/2" and a height of 16 15/16". These measurements are listed on page 3 of your installation manual. If you do not have an installation manual, you can go to managemylife.com and type in the model number you provided under the "Manuals" link. The owner's and installation manuals are both listed in .pdf (Adobe) format that you can download or print for FREE.

So...to answer your initial question, "Yes", this model microwave oven will fit in the space that your old one previously occupied.

If you have any questions, please post back and let me know. I hope this helps you.

If it is a loud buzzing noise it is either the diode or magnetron. Working with the high voltage of a Microwave oven I would never recommend anyone other than a trained professional to attempt this repair.

replace the hole unit

Talk about vice versa? Well it should be the exact opposite. It MUST have a microprocessor fault, unless someone swapped the wires... You will have to get it "looked at" this is a weird one.

In all likelihood the mangnetron has failed, or perhaps even the Power Supply. or a fault that is shutting the system down for safety reasons You need to have it serviced by a reputable service centre/man. Ensure you get a firm "Quote" before proceeding, and remember these days the cost of repair can equal or exceed the price of a new one

Sounds like the magnatron has given up the ghost. That is the thing that makes the microwaves. I would get a new oven.

The owner's manual covers that on page 24.
