20 Most Recent Frigidaire Built-In Microwave Questions & Answers

replace your magnetron While the cabinet is open check the thermal cutoffs and look for melted wires Tap the relay in case it sticks Check the circuit board for burnt traces or components etc

Replace touch key pad

You probably have a bad door switch or door switch mount. See this file.

The first thing I would suggest is a hard reset. Unplug the unit for a minute or so. Then plug it back in, set the clock and try again.

If that doesn't work, leave it unplugged for about 5 minutes.

Feel free to contact me directly (and please remind me of your full model number from the tag on the unit) for more information & help.

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

Microwave Oven Control Panel Repair Nationwide

Hello :

That problem could happen because of a bad door switch .
There are plastic mounts inside the microwave which hold the door switches and onto which the door latches lock when you close the door.

The screws on these mounts may be loose. If they get too loose, the switches will not be activated properly .

That could happen because of slamming the door and not closing it gently .

WARNING : A microwave oven is capable of giving you a serious electrical shock, even when it is unplugged. I strongly recommend you seek the assistance of an appliance repair technician when conducting any microwave oven repair .

good luck .

Sounds like you have a bad mag tube. If this is a counter top model, it will be cheaper to replace the unit. The mag tube will run around $120.00 and you still have a used unit. A new unit will cost you from $65.00 to $120.00. If you decide to repair, go to www.partselect.com and enter your model number. This will bring up diagrams of your unit. Find the magnetron and this is the part you will need. You also may need the capacitor and diode. Good luck

Any burned material must be removed as it is CONDUCTIVE and will absorb further energy from the microwave.

Never run the microwave without adequate food/water/etc as that can cause arcing.

Sounds like the magnetron has failed. This is the component that produces the microwaves that heats the food.

The cost of the magnetron is about 95% of the cost of a microwave oven. Most people don't, for this reason, replace the magnetron, they replace the whole oven which is probably what you will end up doing.

There is a possibility that the circuit that provides power to the magnetron is faulty and you need to take it apart, find the proper electrical leads and test them with a volt meter. To do this you have to remove it from its mounting and take it apart. It is a fairly lengthy process however.

My 2021 Frigidaire also turned on by itself 2 days ago. It also got hot and would not turn off except at the breaker. After 10 minutes I turned breaker on and the microwave was still on. Turned breaker on the next morning and all good. We are afraid to leave house unless we turn breaker off. Any suggestions? Do I need a new microwave?

I would check the door switches.

The control board probably has failed.

fuses inside oven, sure. (i had to guess) all UWAVE do that when the 3 or 4 door switches CONTRADICT. this is so it does no cook a persons eyeballs.(no really ) what we do is replace them all as a set, 4x5=$20 set. I am on my 3rd set here, ( 18 year span) so i even bought a new whole spare fuse panel (behind the controller) with new switch set pre loaded.all -in- one fix. then when it fails i can replace it all in 30min flat. mine is built in fancy uwave and do not want top put in any alien Uwave here and now wood cabinets must be modified. see? good luck,

Question edited for clarity. No you can't. The turntable needs to rotate the food or the microwave energy will burn holes in your food. The rotation spreads the heat evenly throughout the food. You can test it by removing the turntable and put a plate on the base with a pound of butter on it. Microwave on full power for a minute. Notice the holes?

It sounds like you may have an issue with the plug that connects the microwave portion of your Frigidaire PLEB27M9ECD built-in oven/microwave to the electrical supply. Here are a few things you can try:

1. Check the power supply: Make sure that the oven/microwave is properly plugged into a working outlet and that the circuit breaker is not tripped.
2. Inspect the plug: Look for any visible damage on the plug and make sure that the connections are secure.
3. Check the wiring: Make sure that the wiring inside the oven/microwave is not damaged or loose.
4. Test the outlet: Using a multimeter, test the outlet to see if it's providing power.
5. Test the microwave: If you have access to a known good microwave, you can test the plug by plugging it into the known good microwave and see if it works.

If none of these solutions work, it's likely that there is an issue with the electronic control board or the plug itself, which will require professional repair. It's best to contact the manufacturer or a professional technician for repair. They will be able to diagnose the issue more accurately and repair it.

F3 means the key pad is faulty. Probably replaceable if you can find a service agent in your area/town/city/country.

Try cutting the power to it for 15 minutes to effect a power reset to the mainboard. It is still does it, you need a service call or a new one. It is a known issue. https://www.google.com/search?q=Frigidaire+Gallery+microwave.+The+internal+light+and+internal+fan+stays+on ..

The sounder is an integral part of the control board.

I had the same problem with this POS microwave. Bought it September 2019 and the plastic at top is brittle and breaking plus the door latch springs are WAY too stiff for this application. I'm 6'4" and it is hard for me to open and close. The spring tension causes the latches to slam down on the thin edge of the plastic catch causing divot wear. The INCESSANT beeping when food is done is worse than nails on a chalkboard plus there are Way too many levels and button presses to simply soften butter or cream cheese! What a TOTAL mess that I Absolutely regret buying! As for this issue with the blown fuses (on a 20 AMP circuit with nothing else on it); I read about replacing the switches so that is where I started but it didn't work. I noticed the wear in the latch catch so I ordered a replacement and that fixed the problem. I also found a video showing how to remove the door and change the latch. I did not need a new latch, but I did want to replace the spring. I have a box of springs at home and found one that was slightly shorter but the same diameter. It had about half the pull strength and now the door opens and closes reasonably! I hope this helps

Time for a new one!
