Whirlpool microwave wont shut off when the door is closed or after pushing off

Electrolux has had this issue across all tank machines for years and it has to do with the orientation of the bag. The bags are model specific and must be installed properly. Consult your manual for the proper filter bags and how to install them. The door on the bag will pop open and shut down the machine if the bags are not the proper ones and don't fit precisely. It is supposed to be a safety feature but it annoys the devil out of people and has for years. Their machines are very powerful and well made, but if the bag does not seal properly around the hose inlet or the gasket around the door and bag chamber leak, then you will have this happen.

Hello there, the mechanism for opening microwaves is such that when the button is depressed it raises the hooks which hold the door back. In some microwaves the hooks also have another part which pushes the door out while some units have door hinges which have spring mechanisms which pushes out the door. Depending on what is obtainable on your unit the problem might differ. What you want to do is this, when the door is open press the button and see if the hooks which are supposed to hold the door in place move as expected but considering that the door opens when you pull the problem is more likely from the spring mechanism which is supposed to push the door out.
Try cleaning the hinges and the space in between the door and the control panel. Try this and let me know as any other process might require a replacement part.
Hope this solution has been helpful?
Thank you for visiting FixYa.

The door switch when closed seems to give a feedback to the processor which is triggering continuosly the circuit.
Please check on the board for insect secretion or dirt that seems to RUN the board when the door is shut.
Wash the board and replace, check the connectors to be tight and test.
if not there are errors in the board/ control panel which could be stuck with the start button in ON state. remove panel to confirm.

Sounds like the door thinks something is in the way. Verify the alignment of the photo sensor system, located at each side of the door, about 4 to 6 inches off of the floor.

If the motor is jumping in the closed position then something is likely causing a safety stop. The two reasons most commonly are that something is blocking the sensor or the torque is too high. As the door will open Torque is not the probable cause. It is likely something in the protective door block circuit preventing it from going closed. If you press and hold the close button will the door close momentarily? If so then there is definitely something telling it that it is not safe for it to close. If neither of those Solutions work then you probably have a circuit failure which was the cause of the fuse failure in which case the solution is to replace the genie.

Hi,

1. Push the power cord all the way into the outlet in case it became loose and is causing the problem. If the microwave still isn't working, check for a blown circuit fuse, and repair it.
   
2. Step 2 Check that the controls on the microwave are programmed correctly according to the owner's manual. If they aren't, program them.
   
3. Step 3 Close the microwave door firmly. Touch the cook function on the Start Pad, not the timer. Check if the microwave works. If not, continue to step 4.
   
4. Step 4 Program the Power Level correctly. If it's not programmed properly, the microwave will cook the food too quickly or too slowly.
   
5. Step 5 Use only microwave safe dishes. Make sure food is evenly shaped and defrosted before placing it in the Amana Radarange microwave.
   

Thanks.

Sounds like you have a valve arm not operating properly. The valve door sould spring open when you lower the handle and will shut when the handle is raised and pushes down on the rear valve arm. See a parts diagram and look at parts 39-41 and 19.

Hey Debs
Ive got a Sebo Felix. Unfold the bag (if its folded) and drop it into the top of the bin. Once you've aligned the plastic parts the two nibs which are pointing outwards towards the handle, make sure the plastic collar is sitting on the rest of the surround.

Now the most important aspect is the plastic flap - not the dust cap - but if standing behind the Felix, there is a green flap on the left hand side of the bag which must be pushed down over the spring (looks like a large staple). Once that is folded over and locked in, the lid should close. If the lid still doesn't close check that the top hose fitting has been securely locked and is dust free. Dont forget to rate, ty.
