79080339310 Kenmore Microwave - Overview

Hello Robert, thank you for writing. The screws are not sold on our site so you can reuse the original ones. The Handle is part PS8689603. To install you will need to remove the inside door panel with a putty knife or flat tool to lift off the inner frame to expose the screws that hold the handle in place. If you need help placing an order, customer service is open 7 days a week. Please feel free to give us a call. We look forward to hearing from you.

Hello Fred, thank you for your question. If the microwave shares a circuit with other appliances and runs at the same time as those appliances, they’ll quickly overload the circuit and trip the breaker. If you don’t have anything else plugged in it could be one of a few things. First, make sure there is no water inside around the turntable then you should check your door switches and capacitor. You can test your door switches with a multimeter. First, unplug your microwave. Some door switches have only two metal prongs extending from the body, while others have three. Those with three terminals will have a common (COM) terminal, a normally closed (N.C.) terminal, and a normally open (N.O.) terminal. Those switches with only two terminals will have either a common terminal and a normally open terminal, or a common terminal and a normally closed terminal. We are providing directions for testing a door switch with three terminals. If you are dealing with a door switch that has only two terminals, ignore the part of this test that does not apply to you. Using caution, remove all wiring harness leads from the switch's terminals. Use your ohmmeter to test your switch for continuity. Touch one meter lead to the COM terminal and the other lead to the N.O. terminal. Do not push in on the actuator. Your meter should give a reading of infinity, meaning the circuit is open, and there is no continuity. Without moving the meter's leads, press down on the actuator until you hear a 'click'. With the 'click' of the actuator, the meter should produce a resistance reading of zero ohms. This means the circuit is closed and continuity is present. (Switches with only two terminals do not 'click' when actuated) Keep the meter lead that is touching the COM terminal in place but move the other meter lead from the N.O. terminal to the N.C. terminal. You should receive a reading of infinity when you push in on the switch's actuator. When the actuator is released, you should receive a resistance reading of zero ohms. Now, set your ohmmeter to its highest resistance scale and touch one meter lead to the N.O. terminal and the other meter lead to the N.C. terminal. The resistance reading between these two leads should be infinite. Finally, take a resistance reading from both the N.C. terminal and the N.O. terminal to any metal mounting hardware that is a part of the switch assembly. You should receive a normal reading of infinity. Any readings that differ from the ones presented here are indicative of a defective door switch that will need to be replaced. Door switch part number PS12071303 and Switch part number PS12071302. You can also test the capacitor with a multi-meter. Make sure after unplugging your capacitor you release any electrical charge. You can do this with a screwdriver that has an insulated handle. When testing your capacitor set your meter to 1000 ohms. Touch your probes to the terminals on the part. If your meter stays on 0 then your capacitor needs to be replaced. Part Number PS12071296. We hope this helps. If you need help placing an order, our customer service is open 7 days a week.

Hi Mike, thank you for reaching out. According to our research, press and hold the "2" button for 5 seconds. It should beep twice, and the sound will turn on. We hope this information helps!

Hello Mary, Thank you for writing. If the Door is closed properly and is level and not lose, this could be an indication of the door switches is faulty and may need to be replaced. We hope this helps!

Hi Valerie, thank you for the question. Based on our understanding, we would recommend checking the high-voltage capacitor, part number PS12071313. It is an electronic device that holds a charge of electricity in the high-voltage circuit of the microwave. You may need to replace it to fix the issue. We hope this sorts out your problem!
