How do I remove the control panel on model JE2160

Maybe it have clips on it pls check well

If your appliance has absolutely no functions at all, remove it from the mains supply, remove the case, it may be a Torx15 or Allen style screw head, and see where the mains lead goes in to the appliance and follow the cable until you find the main fuse.
ONLY USE THE SAME TYPE AND RATING OF FUSE TO REPLACE IT.

Information on where to aquire a special fuse can be got from the manufacturers web site and browse for dealers.The usual cause of this fuse failure is the door switches are contaminated or sticking. Check the door switches before putting power back on to the appliance.
Hope this helps.

F3 is a shorted key you need a new keypad control panel. For the JE2160 series countertop model this should be the part#WB27X10681

You have a serioius problem which requires professional intervention. Your oven should Never 'arc' between the door and the cabinet. Evidently, the oven is charging the door (which should not happen) and the charge is not properly leaking to a proper ground.

Thanks for your interest in FixYa.com

There should be a "mini-manual" (tech sheet) hidden inside the unit behind the control panel or hidden on the left side behind the grille, which is very helpful when troubleshooting, testing, and locating components.



Also 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.

Sounds like one of your door switces is bad. Could be a thermal fuse. Make sure the cost of a new unit is not in the same range as having it repaired. This product works with high voltage and it is not recommended for the do-it-yourselfer to repair!

This is usually caused by either a bad door switch or a loose door switch mount, which are pretty simple problems to fix.

Even though a door switch clicks, it may still be bad inside.

Door switch or mount trouble is usually caused by slamming the door or by opening the door while it's cooking without hitting the Stop pad first.

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.

Sometimes it's a broken tab on the switch holder, allowing the switch to rotate just out of position. This tab can be hard to see, since it is under the bottom edge of the switch.
