Maytag Microwave Ovens - Page 3 - Recent Questions, Troubleshooting & Support

I have a few questions that could narrow this down, but FixYa doesn't always notify us of follow-ups. So feel free to contact me directly (see below) and remind me of your model number, FCC ID number, and detailed symptoms. - William E.

Microwave ovens often have a 12-hour clock and have no need for AM/PM.

There are 2 fuses inside the cabinet. One is for the clock and turntable. The other is for the high voltage transformer and the microwave module. If this fuse is blown either the transformer is shorted or the module has failed to cause the fuse to blow. Parts and Labor can get close to the cost of a new one, so get an estimate so you can have information to make your decision

there is fuse inside the microwave.you may have to take the cove off to get to it.caution must be used as there is a high voltage cap.that may need to be discharged for safety!!!!! replace with ONLY the same type of fuse!!!

That sounds like a wave guide cover that protects food splatter from getting into wave guide. will need to replace that cover and thoroughly clean inside of unit ans around cover. Those covers must be kept clean and dry!!!

Typically there is a metal mounting plate screwed to the wall and when you take the screws out of the cabinet above it it will tilt forward toward you and then you have to lift it off of some metal tabs that are on the bottom of that mounting plate. Lift up and pull away from the wall and let the cord pull out of the hole in the bottom of the cabinet. Good luck. I usually do that by myself and hook one arm under it and lift it up, but probably better with two people.

Does everything else work?? If so, its just the turntable motor, simple to replace. there are three or four screws under the bottom. UNPLUG the microwave first. Double check before ordering...but .. Here is the one you need: Turntable Motor DE31 10172C

This should be addressed to the vendor of your unit.

Your touch pad is connected to your board with a ribbon wire, it has probably come loose. Unplug the unit and remove the face plate. Pull it back and you will see the wire, it looks like a ribbon, push it in tight, replace the face plate and it should work properly. I see this happen all the time.

Try a hard rest of the electronics to restore unit to factory defaults. If that does not do it your logic board has failed and if not too expensive you might want to replace it. Check it out at site Search Over 2 1 Million Appliance Parts

Sounds like the magnetron tube is no longer working. Check for a bad fuse but if fuse is good, then .......... Sorry.
