Door will not latch when closed
For model number AMV2307PFS0
Hi Rob,
Thank you for your question. If your door is not shutting correctly, there are some parts that you will need to check to see which one is causing the issue. You will need to check door switches, the door interlocks the cam plate and the interlock spring. We hope this helps! Good luck with the repair!
replaced the burnt-out bulb under the microwave, but the light stays on and unable to turn off.
For model number AMV2307PFS0
Hi Charles, thank you for reaching out. We have researched the model and would recommend checking the door switch, part number PS2361113, and the interlock switch, part number PS2361111, for continuity using a multimeter. If they are working fine, the issue might be with the light socket, part number PS2342199, or the control board, part number PS16620227. We hope this helps, good luck with this repair!
When it starts it makes a loder sound than it used to
For model number AMV2307PFS0
Hi Skip, thank you for asking. According to our research, if your microwave is loud or noisy, it could be a result of a defective magnetron tube. The magnetron tube uses high-voltage, high-current DC power that generates the microwave frequency, which cooks the food and is meant to be nearly silent. If it is burned out or damaged, it can emit a high-pitched, growling, or clicking sound. It is a warning that the magnetron is on its last legs and needs replacing as soon as possible. You may need to check the magnetron, part number PS11703077, to fix the issue. Good luck with this repair!

The nightmare was that this microwave is installed under the cabinet....in order to get to the light bulb I had to pull out my stove then squeeze into the space between the stove and counter....my old microwave light bult was much easier to change.....Shame on Whirlpool for making this so difficult.....must be a better way to cover the light bulb so that we do not need a screwdriver to remove the door to get to the light bulb
Unless you have a very comfortable background with electronics and electricity, I don't necessarily recommend taking apart a microwave. If you are very handy and are going to be VERY cautious to follow the rules of discharging caps and testing voltages before moving forward, then go for it. That said, I took the microwave off and apart. Not knowing where to find the parts, I was fortunate that the installer put the instruction book for the microwave inside the front vent slot above the touchpad for reference. it details the location of every part and it tells you very clearly what each part you test should show specific to this microwave on your multimeter. Find this guide online if you don't have it. Turn on the microwave for 20 seconds with a glass of water to make sure it's not heating - that with the noise means it's eeither the magnetron, cap, or diode. Read the notes on this site for all of the basic things to look for with the magnetron, diode, and capacitor. Once comfortable with the guide, locations of those devices, and how to test, then take it down and apart. Unfortunately, I didn't do all those things in that order, and it only wasted a lot of time trying to find the parts. Once I found the parts and put all the screws and covers back for all the areas that didn't need to be accessed for the repair, testing went quickly. The diode was bad. Ordered a new one and had it in 3 days or so. That means your microwave will be apart and sitting somewhere for a little while until you get the part and have time to repair it. Putting the diode back isn't too bad. Reassemble the microwave and put it back up again. If i had to do it again, it would take me 20 to 30 minutes once the microwave was down and on a table. Also, I used some bricks with towels over them or you could use some sawhorses to keep the microwave elevated so you can plug it in and run it after installing the new component. Again, make sure you discharge the cap before touching anything again even if you didn't run it, but just plugged it in.
