Maytag Microwave Ovens - Page 2 - Recent Questions, Troubleshooting & Support

If you have a stargate chassis maybe look near the power cord, and least they are not on the Antares board of my buggy AKZ 430 : Whirlpool Oven AKZ430 goes to F03 mode in couple of minutes even after...

all microwaves have flame sensors that will cut the power in case of fire, this sensor will most likely have to be replaced. this will require you to drop the m/w and remove the case.

Find your model's support page here: http://shared.whirlpoolcorp.com/product_literature/search_results.jsp?searchTerm=&siteCd=WHRCOM&userType=Consumer Then enter your full model number in the "Search again" box.

The arcing that caused the fire also caused the microwave generator be over loaded and sent stray voltage into the chassis. Microwaves MUST have the proper coating in the oven or aching will occur all the time. IF the coating is damaged and it can be damaged in areas that you cannot see, you will be money and heartache ahead if you replace the whole thing now.

Okay, that's a Maytag MVP series model CMV1000ADW. Thanks.

Your membrane keypad has failed, and in this case, it's a pretty simple thing for the average do-it-yourselfer to fix.

You can order the control panel frame with keypad (part # AP4060316) for $65.76 plus shipping here.

You can also find helpful exploded views at that link.

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.

Then you disconnect the keypad strip from the circuit board, as shown in the photo below.

Next, move your circuit board to the new control panel frame, reconnect everything, and you're done.

If you would like to have us do this repair for you, we do that for $39.95 plus part costs.

If there is no indication of power present, check the main fuse.

Remove waveguide cover and clean thoroughly.

You are going to need the installation template and the mounting bracket. You should be able to get these from the original manufacturer.

There are three micro switches inside the latch assembly. One of these absolutely prevents the possibility of the Magnetron being energized while the door is open. The way it works is if the door is open and the Magnetron is energized, it will act as a direct short circuit and that will blow the fuse. It works very well, unfortunately, that tremendous surge of current ruins the microswitch. Replace the switch. You will find this same information on the instruction sheet inside the cabinet.
