Hi , Either you have a faulty door interlock switch(es), or the door latches (on the door) have been damaged and will not activate the interlocks. either way, you have to be conversant with adjusting microwave latch assemblies once the repair has been effected AND THE USE OF AN OVEN LEAK DETECTOR IS IMPERATIVE for final testing or the end user will be subjected to harmful levels of microwave radiation.

The microwave of our combination oven and microwave won't work. What is wrong with it?

The issue you're experiencing with your KitchenAid microwave/oven combo sounds like it may be related to the door not being properly closed or latched.
  1. Check the door: Make sure the door is closed tightly and securely. If the door is not properly closed, the microwave will not work.
  2. Latch: Ensure that the door latch is in good working condition and securely latched when you close the door.
  3. Door switch: If the door is closed and latched properly, the problem may be with the door switch. A malfunctioning door switch can prevent the microwave from starting.
  4. Control board: The issue may also be caused by a malfunctioning control board. The control board is the brain of the microwave, and if it's not working correctly, it can prevent the microwave from functioning properly.
  5. Wiring: Check the wiring of the microwave, if the connections are loose or damaged it could cause the microwave to not work.
If none of the above steps resolves the problem, it's best to contact the manufacturer or a professional for further assistance, as these are complex appliances and require specialized knowledge to repair.
It's important to note that attempting to repair an oven or microwave without proper training and tools can be dangerous and could cause further damage or injury.

Hope this helps!

Door will not close without slamming

Possible causes - door switch, or door switch assembly out of adjustment; plastic latch guides on door switches worn; door hinge worn, causing door to be out of alignment. If it's the last one, the unit needs to be checked for microwave radiation.

DOOR CATCH NOT CLOSING, FEELS LOOSE. ELECTRONICS STILL WORKING - JUST SHOWS 'PLEASE CLOSE DOOR'. NOT SURE IF WORTH A REPAIR OR BUY NEW.

Most likely it is a mechanical problem with door safety switch. Unplug the unit from power! If you take the cover off, you will be able to determine if switch is defective by using ohm meter. You may be lucky and find a broken door latch or loose switch holder - look for lose plastic parts. !!! Do not attempt to bypass safety switch.

Sharp microwave R1940

The latch head (the assembly with the hook-like parts sticking out) also has a spring which secures it to the inner door panel. The inner door panel or latch head has a broken spring mount. To repair this, the door panels will have to be separated. If you or a friend decide to work on it, we have *critical* safety, disassembly, and troubleshooting info at our site, which is linked at our listing here on FixYa: http://tinyurl.com/yzjozk You can find a helpful exploded view diagram of this model at http://www3.sears.com You can order parts for Sharp models from Tritronics at http://www.wehaveparts.com.
