Just (attempted) to fix my exaust fan inside my microwave by replacing it.
No dice.
Same thing still happens.
Can hear a humming sound & can actually get the fan to start ( w/ microwave apart) if I give it a little help spinning.
?Is theresome sort of switch that may be n/g?
If so, where?
?Part #
Thanks!

Do you mean the hood vent fan? (That would be a large assembly a little smnaller than a loaf of bread, I guess)
If it's this one, I would suggest you check the big starting capacitor on the circuit board and the connections on that cap.
Or do you mean the cooling fan inside, which would be small enough to basically fit in your hand?
In either case, I would measure the line voltage to be sure it's in the 110-125VAC range.
If it's grossly outside this range, you may have a problem with other electronics or light bulbs bblowing or being dim or erratic.
One handy thing about Whirlpools is that behind the control panel they have a mini-manual which is very useful in troubleshooting.
It may be that you have some toruble on your control board, which we repair for customers nationwide.
Please write back with more details if you need further help.
We're happy to help and we appreciate your thoughtful rating of our answer.
Thank you for your post, friend!
Based off the information you have provided you would like the exhaust fan CFM specifications for your Frigidaire microwave. The information I have found is a 300/180 CFM. I hope this information is helpful to you. -Matt

RE: "I would suggest you check the big starting capacitor on the circuit board and the connections on that cap.
How to get to the capacitor?
& since I have no way of actually "Checking" it other than visually, is there an actual part I can replace?
p.s. It is not a Whirlpool, it is a Frigidaire PLMV169cd Microwave.
Do they happen to have that hidden manual as well?
Thanks Again!
