I would at least have a service tech look at it. Here are the comon items to check most of the time when a microwave just quits. 1 the internal fuse. 2 the power diode 3 the large capacitor 4. door open / closed micro-switches 5 the magnetron. The least likely suspect is the control panel yet can also cause the problem. You should still be able to keep this unit in service cost effectively. Until I had it checked out I would not give up on it.

Ed Michaels : Hi, your machine is long out of production and installation instructions usually come with the machine and are not published. you have a standard size 24" built in machine, and most 24" machines will fit the space. I would click on Jenn Air or call 1-800-JENN-AIR (536-6247) and ask for a replacement recommendation and a copy of old installation instructions for planning with designer or installer. They have access to records if anyone does and an interest in serving you. Alternatively, talk to another seller and discuss installation. they will also want to help. Let me know if I can help further.ed

Microwave quit working, timer, number buttons timer, all functions on micro side of control panel quit working , timer numbers start etc.

Check to see if the fuse went. If negative then something is wrong with the electronic pad for the unit.

JennAir Microwave works perfectly but won't quit running.

One or two of the micro switches have failed, you will need a professional to remedy the situation.

I have a Jenn-Air M170 & parts of the inner door have cracked and broken, exposing the interior metal. Can the door be repaired or do I need to replace the unit? Does Jenn-Air still make this model?

Yes you will have to replace it, and yes, i am fairly sure they still have that part in stock. please use the direct link below to ask and obtain the part you need.
Also please ask them for the service manual too, this will make the task ever so much easier.. However the replacement parts used to come with fitting instructions..

I have a blown internal fuse on my JennAir M170b microwave. The fuse holder says 250V, 15A fuse, but the fuse that was in there is a 125V, 15A fuse. The micro plugs into a normal 110V circuit. Which type...

Hi,

The information on the fuse is the maximum rating. The holder may not match the rating.

The 'A' is the very important part of the size. You will need a 15 Amp fuse. The best fuse to use is 'ceramic'. You can find them at Radio Shack in the back of the store there are drawers with electrical parts.

15 Amp ceramic

JennAir Microwave worked one minute then won't the next.

If this microwave is more than a couple of years old, it's possible that the magnetron tube or a rectifier has burned out. You'll probably need to take it to an experience microwave service technician to get a diagnosis.
