Frigidaire 1.6 Cu. Ft. Over-the-Range Microwave Questions & Answers
How do I get the turntable turned back on when using sensor reheat.
I appreciate your post, friend!
I see you are having trouble with the turntable motor on your Frigidaire microwave. The best way to reset your microwave is to disconnect power from it for roughly ten minutes. You can do that by flipping the household circuit breaker off. I hope that helps. -Matt
Microwave runs when door is open
Hey friend, thanks for your post!
From my understanding your Frigidaire microwave is running when the door is opened. I have identified a few possibilities could be the control panel or your door. Since it could be any one of these underlying issues I would recommend having a professional come and properly diagnose your appliance. -Matt
How do I change a microwave door switch
Good Afternoon Friend,
I understand you are trying to change the door switch in your Frigidaire microwave. Typically, this is not a do it yourself repair, as there are no step by step instruction manuals. I suggest, especially when dealing with your microwave, contacting your local authorized technician for further assistance. They have been trained on your appliance and should be able to change the door switch with ease. Hope this is helpful.

Frigidaire gallery otr microwave vent not working
Hello Lori Wilson - Thanks for your post! Generally speaking, the vent is not very strong. Try to place a single paper towel on the underside of the microwave. With the vent on, it should suction the paper towel to the bottom of the microwave. If not, I personally recommend contacting the installer to verify that the vent fan is installed properly and the exhaust outer is correct.
No heat in microwave
Do you have power and lights within the unit? If so, and the only thing that does not work is the heat, more than likely you are looking at replacing the magentron. If you dont have power and like, it could be a control board issue. This is not a typical do it yourself job, please consult a professional or your manufacturer.

Yes! I agree with Chris the turntable motor will need to be replaced, please remember there are lethal voltages present, so remember to unplug and short the high voltage capacitor across the 2 points with a long screwdriver.
Frigidaire microwave not heating over the range
Hello
Try to cook something simple such as microwave popcorn. If the unit does not light up or turn on, check the outlet with another appliance to make sure the outlet is functioning correctly.
Check the fuses or circuit breakers in you house. If the outlet does not work after testing it with another appliance, try to plug the microwave in a different outlet.
Check the hinges and door hooks to make sure the door is closing properly. Look to see whether a small piece of food is clinging to the door, preventing it from closing all the way. Check the release mechanism and the rotating plate to make sure they can move freely as well.
Plug in the microwave and start it a the bag of microwave popcorn inside. If the lights go on but it is not producing heat, listen and try to hear whether the unit sounds the way it usually does. If it does not, there might be problems with the circuit board. This will need to be repaired by a certified Frigidaire professional.
Check the display that shows the time and power. If the display is flickering but it does not alter the operation of the microwave, it is not a problem. If, however, the lights flicker and your food is not heating, there may be a problem in the microwave cabinet.
Listen for buzzing sounds. If there is a buzzing sound and no heat is being produced, you may have to get a new magnetron, power diode, or high-voltage capacitor. These can be purchased from a Frigidaire retailer.
Look at the handle on the door. The most common complaint about all models of the Frigidaire microwave, according to Consumeraffairs.com, was cracked or broken door handles. Frigidaire will replace faulty handles while the oven is under warranty. In many cases, they will replace the handle even after the warranty expires for a "reasonable" amount of time.
