I hope this helps.

Good luck.

take its back to show room give its back its was is in warrenty
do noting if its was in wattrety compny is replaced its free of cost

Suggest you pull the plug out, remove outer cover and place a cup of water into the micro. Set power to minimum then switch on and take note if the fan works or not. If not, switch off immediately and have it replaced(magnatron will burn out if left to run without fan.)

All units have an internal fuse. Of course the unit is still plugged in. Check in the cabinet above the microwave.

Although you gave an incomplete model number, Owners Manuals, Installation Guides, Warranty Guides and Part Lists can be found for the entire MH3184 series on this page: Whirlpool Product Literature/MH3184 Series

Hope this helps!

determined from whirlpool that the f2 display is from the control circuit board. the board's problem is intermittent and needs eventually replacing. not covered by warranty. determined that whirlpool has reduced the warranty for the electronic circuits in its appliances from 5 to 1 year. this is great for consumer confidence in whirlpool. have had trouble with 2 other new whirlpool appliances. probably will not buy another whirlpool appliance.

IS RECP. GROUNDED.

check the operation of the micro switches on the lock motor. that they are open when they should be and closed when they should be. often they need to be cleaned or replaced.
if this doesnt help re post there is some board work to do, i would suggest a tech do this part though. always unplug range when you work on them! If you are good at electronics and stuff and would like to do it yourself then contact me for further support!

This is most often caused by a bad magnetron "scrambling" the controller, a bad connection on the controller, or a controller failure. Try to use the "timer" function of the oven. Make it count down without cooking for about a minute. If it works, then it's more likely to be a bad magnetron. If it still fails, it's probably a problem on the controller. We repair these nationwide by mail for $39.95 in most cases. For more information see our listing here on FixYa: http://tinyurl.com/yzjozk

Downstream of the main 20 amp breaker in the upper right hand corner, is a miniture 4 amp fuse in an inline fuseholder. I replaced this and so far, so good
