Hi Michael, Thank you for your question. If the microwave is not starting, there are some parts that you will need to check to see which one is causing the issue. You will need to check the line fuse, the door switches, the thermostat, the oven lamp and the diode cable. We hope this helps. Thank you and have a great day.

My wife was microwaving an item and it quit working. Interior light comes on, the touch pad works and will set time and even count down after start button is engaged. No fans come on, the turn table does not turn and no heat is produced. What should i test to determine the failure? Thanks, love your web site and information. Hugh

Hello Hugh, thank you for your question. There are a few parts that could cause these symptoms. It may mean the door switch is broken. The door switch can also be called an interlock switch. Part number: PS237015. Use a multi-meter to check the switches while depressing the actuator button. If there is no continuity at that point, replace the switch. Ensure that the door hooks which trigger the door switch are working properly, as that could also cause this issue. Part number: PS227745. There could be a problem with the high voltage diode. Test the diode for continuity using a multi-meter; there should be low resistance in one direction and high resistance in the other in a working diode. If the resistance is low in both directions or has no continuity, the diode needs to be replaced. Part number: PS239148. It could also be the magnetron. Part number: PS12722595. Test the magnetron by disconnecting its attached wires and attaching the leads of a multi-meter to the magnetron terminals. The continuity should show two to three ohms of resistance between the terminals. The magnetron will need to be replaced if it shows no continuity, or shows continuity between the terminals and the grounded outer case of the magnetron. If your test with the multi-meter comes back normal, then further testing might need to be done by a certified technician. Before you begin any repair, please unplug the appliance from the electrical outlet. Good luck with your repair!

How do you remove the control panel, It has 1 screw on the upper right, but still cannot remove, HELP
For model number PEB9159SF1SS
PartSelect logo
Hi Richard, thank you for your question. To remove the control panel you need to follow these instructions. 1. Remove the left and right screws which are at the top of the mounting grill. 2. Open the door and slide the grill to detach, this will make the control panel screw visible. 3. Remove the control panel screw. 4. Unfasten the control panel by lifting it up. Good luck with your repair!

Microwave completely stopped working
Turned out the issue was easily solved by replacing a single, inexpensive fuse.

First off, UNPLUG THE MICROWAVE.

The fuse is located under the plastic grill at the top of the microwave. It's held on by two screws. Once you've removed the screws and taken off the plastic grill, you go to the right side of the microwave and remove another screw that holds a small metal grill in place. Removing the small metal grill is probably the toughest part of this repair. You kind of have to rock it back and forth a bit to get it to release. Once that's off, you can get to the fuse. I removed the burnt out one with a pair of needle nose pliers. I also put a small piece of cardboard under the fuse when I did this so I didn't accidentally drop it into the innards of the microwave. I did the same thing when I replaced the new fuse. I then plugged the appliance back in and made sure it worked. Once that was confirmed, I replaced both grills.

Bulb Replacement
Remove shroud . Two black philips head screws on side, and several on the back side. The two bottom screws on the back are special screws that a philips,straight slot, or hex screwdriver will not remove. I took a dremel tool with a thin metal grinding disc and created a straight slot through the centr of the two bottom screws. This allowed their removal with a straight slot screwdriver. Slide the cover straight back and off. The bulb is located on the top of the microwave connected with one screw. Replaced the bulb. It has two prongs that fit into the holder. Replace screw. Slide cover back on. It slides into retaining splines on 3 sides. Replace screws, and you're in business.
