Oven will not come on

My oven model number is whirlpool MH6159XMT-0. I read a leter from another person with a similar problem. When the start button is pushed, instead of hte oven, the exhaust comes on: it is an over the range type of oven. Nothing else comees on. In the other letter, I am referring to, dated Oct 24,206, you replied you repair something like this for about #32. My ZIP code is 60134. Can you tell me how I can get it repaired? Do you have any suggestion I can try? In the other reply, you said something about checking a door switch. Where can I find a door switch for this model? Thank you very much.

Whirlpool MH1160XSB-3 sparked from the right? inside wall toward food & then the microwave stopped running. No clock, no power. Could it be a fixable magnetron issue? Or should I start shopping?

There is inline fuse about $10..0 a diode for about $15.00 and the magnatron is about $150.00. Unless you possess all the tools required to disassemble test and replace defective parts it probably a better choice to replace it.. A new similar unit is about $270.00 at Lowe's

What are matching models for Whirlpool Oven door model AKZ456/IX

As You may know, Whirlpool also builds Kenmore products, that being said, You would be far better off buying the exact model door for Your oven. The joy You may get from saving a "C" note on an alternative door option could turn into a Personal B*tt Kicking contest when You discover it almost worked, You CAN'T send it back and You still have to buy the right one. Best of Luck to You.

Sharp doesn't have a microwave with this model number. If you gave the incorrect model number but the correct manufacturer, please add a comment with the correct model number.

I hope this helps.

I was unable to locate anything using the model number you listed. Quite often such OEM parts are rather expensive. This is one such site that offers repair parts; http://www.partselect.com/Whirlpool-Microwave-Parts.htm .

Whirlpool Microwave Oven Serial Number MH660XW-0

Hi Adam,
Built in over the range? The models change so rapidly unless it is less than a year old there probably wont be an identical replacement, Fortunately the mounting brackets remain close if you stay in the same brand. Whirlpools can be purchased at almost any retailer like Lowe's, Sears, BestBuy etc. Measure the the original and look for one that fits that dimension.

Whirlpool microwave oven

I have a nice PDF version of the technical sheet from a model MH1150, which should be similar. It's here:
http://www.microwavedisplay.com/whirlpool_mh1150xmq-0_wiring.pdf

Looking at that, I would say the fan relay "on/off" is stuck.

If your shop doesn't do board-level repair, we do it for $39.95 nationwide. You'll find a link to our site in our listing here on FixYa: http://tinyurl.com/yzjozk

If you'd like to discuss this further, please e-mail or call me via that link.

We're happy to help and we appreciate your thoughtful rating of our answer.
