Jenn-Air Microwave Ovens - Recent Questions, Troubleshooting & Support

Question edited for clarity. Question moved from Laundry Dryers. Check the circuit breaker or if it has a 13 amp UK plug, check the fuse inside the plug. There may be a fuse on the the control board, but getting to it is not safe. https://www.fixya.com/support/r29874712-repairing_microwave_ovens ..

I have this same problem occasionally. Pull the vent grill open and look for a white cam that rotates when the microwave is on. To the right of that cam, there are two gray switches. The bottom switch should have a red tab that pops out. When the vent grill opens and closes continuously, the red tab is stuck in. Take a flat screwdriver or tooth pick and push gently in on the red tab to release it. It must get stuck due to grease or dirt accumulation. Good luck.

More than likely the magnetron is the only fault.

Hi Doug, Did you ever figure out how to replace the light bulb in the microwave? I have the same problem and can't get to the bulb. My email is [email protected] you have any info to help. Thanks.

Nope! They never make it easy to change microwave oven light bulbs!

The grease filter is in the center between the lights. See the interior and ventilation diagram available here: https://www.searspartsdirect.com/model-number/jmv9196cs3/1266/0123370.html . However, you might have this: https://www.partselect.com/Models/JMV9196CS3/Sections/04-Interior-And-Ventilation-Parts/?ModelID=7548870&ModelNum=JMV9196CS3&mfgModelNum=&ManufactureID=1&Selected=0794E2BFBF59CB9582BAA592BE0124B3C5F48AE9.gif&Position=4&mfg=Maytag&Type=&Mark=4 . The base (33) is secured by the door hinge (part 32). I'd suggest you try pushing up on the sides of the base and seeing if it will then rotate down. Unfortunately, I don't see any details about Jennaire microwaves with this type of base. I hope this helps. Cindy Wells

Share this conversation Answered in 1 hour by: 6/5/2012 Appliance Technician: Ed Michaels Ed Michaels : Hi, your machine is long out of production and installation instructions usually come with the machine and are not published. you have a standard size 24" built in machine, and most 24" machines will fit the space. I would click on Jenn Air or call 1-800-JENN-AIR (536-6247) and ask for a replacement recommendation and a copy of old installation instructions for planning with designer or installer. They have access to records if anyone does and an interest in serving you. Alternatively, talk to another seller and discuss installation. they will also want to help. Let me know if I can help further.ed

Microwave ovens emit powerful radio waves and in general for safety reason should only be used when in perfect working order. It usually costs more to repair an older microwave oven than to simply replace it. Suggest buy a new one.

Hello - I cannot give you instruction on how to remove the kit(?) surrounding your microwave. I can provide you with information which may help you decide if arranging for an repair technician authorized to service your JennAir microwave is the best option compared to replacing it. I refer you to the information from Angie's List: https://www.angieslist.com/articles/microwave-repair-and-what-it-costs.htm Best wishes.

Be advised that they are heavy. You may need 2 people to check this. The bracket may have a lip on the wall section that you have to take the weight off of to move it.

Check internal fuse first.

Do you have the installation instructions that came with the oven? An electric oven requires a 220V circuit and the cable coming out of the wall you described is a 110 V circuit.
