you require a new timer unit to be installed

The correct model number is located on the appliance data plate. It's usually located on the door jamb (built-in) or back or bottom (for a countertop unit). Sears uses a 123.456789123456 type of designation (where the first three numbers/letters are the manufacturer. The data plate will clearly state "Model" followed by the number.

The model number 721.80032 is a partial model number; it indicates the build series. I found the Kenmore microwave, 721.80032700. The final 3 digits indicate the panel color and similar details. Assuming the microwave was installed properly, it should work as a hood fan. Press the touch pad with the fan icon (underneath it says Hi/Low/Off) to get the desired fan speed. The icon is on the lower left of the control panel; it's below the Cook Time button and to the left of the Light button. The manual for the 721.80032700 is available here: https://www.searspartsdirect.com/partsdirect/user-manuals/72180032700-kenmore-parts-manual?manualIndex=0 . The direct link to the Owner's Manual is https://c.searspartsdirect.com/mmh/pd_download/lis_pdf/OWNM/L0710653.pdf . See pages 9 and 14 for using the exhaust fan. I hope this helps. Cindy Wells

ManualsLib Makes it easy to find manuals online try the link below and search on model for service manual or try other free manual sites.

A microwave service tech will have to check your magnetron.

I may be able to help you or a friend troubleshoot it, but I would need the FCC ID number from the model tag to look it up. FixYa doesn't always notify us of follow-ups, so feel free to contact me directly (see below). It could be an issue with your control board, and I regularly repair these at an affordable cost. - William E.

Your model's owner's manual (download here) does not mention it, so you cannot adjust or turn off the bump with the controller. You would have to remove or disconnect the beeper, which would involve disassembly. More on that in this video. Got more questions? Please contact me directly for full details since FixYa doesn't always inform us of follow-up questions. Remind me of the full model number and FCC ID number from the tag and your detailed symptoms. - William E.

Hi, Sorry to tell you but Dont use this again you need to buy a new one or second hand one. Please leave me feed back: Malcolm Campbell, Thanks.

Remove outer cabinet. Identify the bad switch in the latch assembly. The microswitches are held in by a plastic tab. Remove the electrical connections and note their location.Carefully push tab aside and the switch will pivot on one of the mounting holes. Be careful. The plastic tab can easily be broken if you use excessive force.

Could the "grinding noise" be arcing? If yes, then the problem could be the Magnetron.The Magnetron can be replaced but at approximately $75, It is rarely worth the effort. It will be at least twice that amount to have a repair shop do it.

Sounds like you blew a fuse. If the unit has a user-replaceable fuse, or fusible link, it will say so in the manual. There is probably a "Troubleshooting" section in the manual.

unplug it for 12 hours or more and try again. Failing that the button or circuit for it may be broken, also make sure nothing is blocking the vent or nothing in the vent assembly is damaged. if you are opening the microwave make sure you know what you are doing of get a pro to do it for you. get an estimate and compare that to the price of a new one. Especially if the microwave is old or cheap.

When platter doesn't turn, food will not cook evenly. The motor must be replaced. No harm will come to the oven if you continue to use it.

Check those 3 micro switches in the door latch assembly. A bad microswitch can blow the main fuse. This usually ruins the microswitch.

First off, if you are not sure of what you are doing, I do not recommend you doing any electrical repair to a microwave. Magnetrons are high voltage and could kill you. But if you are okay with that and because it is a Kenmore, go to Sears Online In Store Shopping Appliances Clothing More . They are great at providing information on replacement parts on whatever Sears component you have.

Why do you need to "reset" the microwave? The is no reset for a microwave.
