Whirlpool mh1141xmq light switch and fan switch turn on microwave and stop doesnt stop! turntable doesnt turn

Answer This Question
  • Anonymous Aug 22, 2008

    I have the same problem. The microwave flashed and blew the circuit breaker. After resetting the curcuit the turn table won't turn the the light and fan buttons seem to start the microwave. I have taken it apart and there is a flash burn spot behind the circuits. Did it fry the control panel?

Unplug the thing, open it up, and carefully take off the pad button controls and anything else with wrong behavior, and wash those things out with dishsoap and deionized water.  It seems like a pad switch has saltwater or sugar in it, or crumbs pressing on it.  The door and main switch often need cleaning out also, though compressed air or cotton swabs (no excess water) will be fine.  Then put it back together, plug it in, and try it.

Tappan Speedwave 1000 turns on when door is opened
Microwaves do normally 'turn on', in that the light comes on and the fan starts running. If the turntable starts turning and it is emitting microwave energy, then you need to take it for service or replace it. To me, it sounds fine.

Magic Chef MCO 153 UQ heats but doesnt' turn
You can still use it, but must be aware that this is a relatively high power microwave, so food will burn if it isn't turned.

Whirlpool vt255 microwave does not stop
If your microwave oven doesn't appear to shut off when the door is open, you may have a problem with the door switch. The door switches, often referred to as interlock switches, provide power to the various components of the microwave. They are designed to interrupt the power when the door is open.

Whirlpool otr microwave
Once i opened up the microwave, I found that some kind of capacitor or something (had two wires going to it) had fell down on top of the fan. I had to rig the plastic mounting bracket and re-attach it to a panel inside. That took care of the rubbing noise. It turned out that some one had unplugged the wire that powered the turntable. That took care of that. it seems to work fine now. Steve

Sharp Microwave R-520L stopped working
My parents had the same problem. It turned out that a switch went bad. When you take the case off, there are 3 switches where the door latches. The bottom switch went bad. It is an Omron D3V-16G-3C25 switch.

Sounds like a door switch problem or stuck relay contacts on the control PCB. Do the light and fan run too or just the T/T??

I have a Whirlpool AMW545 built in microwave oven. The turntable continuosly runs with the door shut when the microwave is not in use. The turntable will stop rotating if the door is opened.
the controller for the turntable is shorted out or welded its contact if its a relay. the door has safety switches that turns off the electrical connection to the turntable and magnetron once you open the door. you can trace the switch that runs the turntable. start from the power supply, goes to the door switch then to the controller before it goes to the turntable motor. i'm sure it has an electrical diagram at the inner wall of the cover.
i hope i was able to help.
