20 Most Recent Maytag MMV5000 Microwave Oven - Page 7 Questions & Answers

Now is the time for hope! Your microwave has a fuse. Find it at "Sears Parts Direct". If that is not the problem, it should be the "magnetron", which would likely be reason to purchase a new model. Be blessed.

Remove the cover that makes up the microwave shell. There should be screws in the back that hold it on. Once free of the base just pull the cover off to the side. The Control Panel should now be exposed. I pulled up the schematic at "Sears Parts Direct" and don't see any screws holding the pad in place so it appears to be a snap fit connector at the top of the pad that it mates to. You should be able to press the plastic snap fit to dislodge it. Otherwise you'll need a small flat blade screwdriver at the top to unlock the latch mechanism. Lightly press down and it should just pop off.

Two places to search for the schematics is searspartsdirect.com or appliancepartspro.com.

Hope this helps.

Hi, Either the latch in door (spring related) is not in the correct location or you have a door switch issue and its not expensive to fix if you husband is handy. Part number you can use is 28QBP0495 or the factory one 3405-001034 (more expensive). This issue is common and these switches are located inside the control panel on the left side, the switch you seek is the lowest one in the bracket of three. Good Luck and I hope this helps.
