Portable generator was connected to the main power panel of the house apparently the connection was wrong to the point that i presume 220 volts reach the 120 volts receptacles and since that time the micro wave dont turn on and theres no light in the display.I verify the fuses (2) for continuity and are ok.
what parts could be damage or need reemplace?
thanks

Hello Luis, thank you for your question. We would recommend testing the door switches first and if they are found to be ok, the issue is most likely the main control board Control, Electric Part #: PS11756441. I hope this helps!

When I attempt to turn the microwave on, the interior light blinks and nothing happens. Everything else works normally, ie. fan, lights, etc. Have replaced all three door micro switches.
For model number MMV5208WS1
Hi Victor,
Thank you for your question. If you have replaced the door switches and the microwave will still not turn on, there are some other parts that you will need to check to see which one is causing the issue. You will also need to check the line fuse, the light socket, the interlock support, the interlock spring and the cam plate. We hope this helps. Thank you and have a great day.

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.
