I have a double roper oven Model #39758B0 Serial # 8Roo896 Problem when turning the top oven on I get an F-5 signal and the oven does not turn on. I need to know how ro fix this problem. Thank you, Rita Palumbo

they only make 2 types...normally open or closed 155 degrees + or -

use a VOM reed the old one if it shows open you need a normally closed thermostat..$5 or less

It's pretty simple.

It's covered on page 33 of the service manual found online here.

You can pre-order bulbs by entering your full model number (JVM1631WJ03) here.

1 To replace the oven light,
first disconnect the power

breaker panel or pull
the plug.

taking out the 2 screws
that hold it in place.
See video here.

Chances are your secondary interlock (top door switch) is bad, or its mount is loose or cracked.

See this file on safety and this file on door switch diagnosis and replacement.

At our Web site, we have a video available showing how to remove a typical over the range control panel assembly in under 5 minutes.

Removing that will make the switches accessible.

If you only need a switch, you can order a universal type here for $5 postpaid.

That model number looks a bit off. I'd say it's one of these:

MHE14XMB1
MHE14XMD1
MHE14XMQ1

But for a part like this, any of the above should be the same.

There are two oven cavity thermostats in this model, which essentially act as flame sensors.

There should be a "mini-manual" (tech sheet) hidden inside the unit behind the control panel or hidden on the left side behind the grille, which is very helpful when troubleshooting, testing, and locating components.

If you don't find yours, or if you want to look at it without disassembling the oven, you can download it here. (Try searching without suffix if you get no hits).

Accessing some components (especially the oven cavity thermostat) for testing and possible replacement will require you to remove the oven from the wall and take off the outer cover.

If so, the installation instructions are very handy, and it's best to have two people since the microwave can be heavy and awkward.

Thereshould also be a "mini-manual" (tech sheet) hidden inside the unit behind thecontrol panel or hidden inside behind the back cover, etc., and it's very helpful when troubleshooting, testing, and locating components.

Most likely the lower door interlock switch is bad. Cheap and pretty easy repair.

Martin Microwave Inc. sells the switches for around $5....

hi,

sounds like you may need new hindges, unfortunatly they may not be available any more, it may be time for a new oven.

This code means you have a bad temperature sensor or thermal fuse, or a fault in the wiring harness to or from one of them.
