KOT-170SW volume of beeper dropped, can barely hear now. Any assistance appreciated. Norm NC3F [email protected]

The manual for model MWV150BKA is here but it does not discuss any adjustment of the beeper volume.

It may have gotten glitched. You might try a hard reset by unplugging the oven for a couple of minutes, plugging it back in, setting the clock, then trying it again.

Please include FULL model number*, FCC ID number*, + detailed symptom information.
* on the tag in cooking cavity or around door frame or control frame or on back

You will most lokely need to replace the "beeper" as its components have become worn ut with time

Hello Friend, thank you for allowing me to assist you!

I see that your question is listed under Frigidaire microwave FFCE2238LW. Typically you will hear a series of beep once your food is done heating or defrosting has finished. For this purpose, the beeping signal cannot be deactivated and I show that the volume is not adjustable for your model. Most microwaves are preset to do this. Best regards! - Z

i went to replace lite bulbs but didnt unplug it..removed cover and shorted out...now no lite and no turntable but does come on & heats food is it fixable.......ewave microwave kot-131uw....

According to the owner's manual (available here), there is a beeper volume on some models in this series. If yours has one, press it and then press 0 to 3 to control the volume (0 mutes the beeper and 3 is loudest).

If your model doesn't have the beeper volume control it's just that the beeper is going bad. They sometimes do that, getting faint or quitting entirely. You can't get a replacement beeper from GE, only the entire control circuit board.

The beeper is a piezoelectric type. Radio Shack sells a variety of beepers. If you know someone who can replace electronic components, they may have one that could be used on the board. Changing the beeper for one not the same as the original would not affect the oven's operation or safety, so that's an option. I'd do that myself if I were repairing this for a friend. But you might not be able to get a professional service shop to do this because of liability concerns. They would most likely replace the entire board.

With luck, your oven just has the volume down. Hope this has helped, and thanks for using Fixya!

Ewave KOT 170SW Microwave, it starts runs for a few mins. then stops. Shorter then time set for.

The beeper sound level can be adjusted.

Press the "BEEPER VOLUME" pad on the keypad, then select 0–3 for mute to loud.

If you can take good photos of both sides of the board, I can probably show you what resistor to remove.

You could replace that with a trimmer potentiometer I can specify for your from Radio Shack.

Feel free to contact me directly if you'd like.

I have Kenmore microwave model 721.61820100.
It has an "Option" button. Press it. The display say "NUMBER"
Then press "1". The display should say "SOUND" and then "OFF".
Press "Start" and that beast turns silent, well not really, but the beeps are goooone.

If for some reason you don't like it this way repeat the sequence and the sound this time will turn "ON".

The beeper sound level can be adjusted. Press the BEEPER VOLUME button, then choose 0–3 for mute, medium or loud.

If that doesn't work, unplug the oven a few minutes, plug it back in, then try again.

If you don't have your owner's manual you can find and download one here:
