Maytag microwave overheated and shut off - Model #MMV5165BA

SOURCE: Maytag MMV5165BA Over The Range Microwave

We had this problem. It was installed improperly - to recirculate instead of to vent.

SOURCE: Panasonic Model No. NN-S933BF Microwave Oven

could it be that i didn't follow the manuel because i got it second hand or is it because something is wrong with it,and i have to get it fixed.

SOURCE: Maytag Microwave model MMV5165BA has error E-13

E-13 - T1 Max time error (oven did not preheat properly). PCB assembly may need reset or may be bad.

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 maybe an hour. Then let us know if the hard reset does not fix it.

Otherwise, Since it's less than one year old, it should be fully covered under warranty.I'd suggest contacting the manufacturer to get it fixed free.

SOURCE: When the micorwave is running the display lights flicker and the unit shuts down

That looks as a faulty control board.

SOURCE: the handle on my maytag microwave oven broke off

The door handle can easily be replaced without the assistance of a repairman. This is a common problem with some microwave oven doors.

This is not difficult. To access the door handle mounting screws on MOST microwave ovens, you have to remove the inner door panel that goes around the perimeter of the glass. You can use a small screwdriver to carefully pry the plastic up and work your way slowly around the perimiter of the glass. Most microwave ovens also have grooves in the panel that you can insert the screwdriver into. Use care not to pry against the glass. The glass is tempered and also has an RF shield that prevents harmful microwaves from potentially harming the consumer. If you break the glass, you will need to purchase a new door.

The door handle screws are located behind the inner panel. Simply remove the broken handle and install the new one. Re-insert the inner door panel carefully and gradually work your way around the perimeter of the door glass and make sure it snaps back into place.
