When we want to start our microwave, we select cook time, enter the time and press start. Then the display screen tells us “open/close door”, which we do. The microwave will not start. The message continues to scroll across the screen. Please help.
For model number MMV4205DS1
Hello Alison, thank you for your question. That issue is caused by a failed door switch. We would recommend replacing PartSelect Number: PS2361111, PartSelect Number: PS2361113 and PartSelect Number: PS10057151. I hope this helps.

Unit will not heat
For model number MMV4205DS1
Hello, Thank you for your question. There are a few parts you will want to check into, You will want to check the diode, and the fuse. If those test out okay, you will then need to check into your door switches, one of them could possible cause that if the fuse is fine. We hope this helps, good luck with this repair.

WHERE DOES THE CHARCOAL FILTER GO? I DON'T HAVE A MANUAL
For model number MMV4205DS1
Hi Nancy, Thank you for asking. The Charcoal Filter PartSelect Number PS1871363 is located behind the Vent Grille at the top pf the appliance above the door. Thank you for the question!
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.
