Maytag Model #MMV5000BAB Hello Karen Smith, I think it would be nice to tell you MORE DETAIL... (sorry). Typically the fuse OPERATES because the magnetron is getting burned out... but HEY fuse is cheap... check out the parts houses below (just that getting an UNDERCABINET down each time can be a SERIOUS PAIN. "appliancepartspros" will let you order the parts and return THOSE UN-USED parts... (pretty handy). MOST likely from poor use & abuse... I watched my sisters grand kids warm "butter pats" in her NEW convection micro-wave. It was VERY short lived...!! There's A REASON they advise not operating them EMPTY. With care (reading instructions) some actually do get OLD. https://www.bing.com/search?q=maytag%20magnetron%2C%20model%20mmv5000bdw&qs=n&form=QBRE&pq=maytag%20magnetron%2C%20model%20mmv5000bdw&sc=0-34&sp=-1&sk=&cvid=70C1AA9D41A24B32B6984A918DCCAE9B Maytag Microwave MMV5000BDW PartSelect "appliancepartspros" http://www.appliancepartspros.com/parts-for-maytag-mmv5000bdw.html and on-line video Maytag Microwave Not Heating

Once the plastic is yellowed, there's not much you can do to remove the yellow discoloration. Just continue to use your microwave as usual. If a burnt smell remains, you can heat vinegar in the microwave which will help eliminate the horrible odor--like burnt popcorn!!!! Yuck! ..

try microwave repair shops as they may have plates from units that were repairable or may have new plates in stock contact maytag direct and see if they are available and where from

I had this same problem with my Maytag Microwave. Unplug the unit and plug it back in. It fixed my issue.

HI, Maybe this will help. Here is a link to an explode view of your Microwave. There are other exploded views on the right-hand side of the page. http://www.appliancepartspros.com/02-body-cavity-parts-for-maytag-umv1152cas.html

It could be the pads themselves. The touch pads are notorious for going bad. The light staying on could be a bad door switch. Check there first. There are three switches in the door interlock assembly. One of them could be causing the unit not to reset so it can cook.
