Problem for Frigidaire FMV156DC 950 Watts Microwave Oven
Our microwave will not cook when the door is
Our microwave will not cook when the door is closed and time is input on the keyboard. We had it repaired under warranty last March (2009) and the repairman replaced a switch inside the unit where the door engages the lock. It has worked okay until recently. Now when you close the door, it won't cook anymore, however, if you press in on the door and/or lift it slightly, the microwave will cook. Of course, it's aggravating to stand there and hold the door. Do you have a manual and/or procedure for adjusting the switch? It should be just a slight adjustment but I'm not sure how to get inside the unit to do it. Can you help?? Thanks. Jerry.

please dont even try this, fix it yourself job!!! yes it is an easy fix!! if you know what you are doing,, but if you dont know what you are doing,,,, well to be blunt,
you could just be finding a fast way of killing yourself!
even with the power plug pulled out the wall scocket and stood on a rubber mat!!! just one tuch across the capacitor and you could very well grow wings!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
do you realy wont to die??? call the guy back to fit a new micro switch in the door lock as its set back deep in side the unit and its a cheep part as well
but just like all fixes,,, its not the parts you pay for,
its knowing how to fit them in that costs you so much
this not knowing could cost you your life???????
play it safe,, please,,

Thank you for your input! I did not know about the capacitor and how lethal it could be. I'm glad that I asked before attempting the repair! Thanks
