Question about Kenmore 80882 Microwave Oven

Over the stove Mircowave just reinstalled...light is on but not heating up

I just reinstalled an Over-the-stove Microwave. It sounds like it's working expect for an odd clicking sounds for a few seconds, it does not heat anything up and it has stopped before the cooking session has finished. I have no idea what is going on! Is there an in-the-unit fuse for the heating only. What could that clicking sound be?

Thank you, I will look these... I did order new door latches since the top one was broken and I switch it with the bottom latch so the door would stay closed. That will be my first check before I look these other items. Again Thanks, Brian

This Amana is six months out of warranty and three days ago would sometimes heat and sometimes not. Today it won't heat at all. It sounds like its working but nothing heats up. As a test, I put it on 50% power with a glass of water. You could hear it click and hum like it was working, then click and not hum. This happened at intervals that would appear to be appropriate for 50% power, but the water never heated.

If any wiring on the control panel was or might have been disturbed, I would want to check that. It may be that something (like a sensor) did not get plugged back in. Otherwise, I would verify that the door switches are working properly and the mounts for them are not loose or damaged. If this is a convection model, also check check the damper, damper motor, and damper switch. If you or a friend decide to work on it, we have *critical* safety, disassembly, and troubleshooting info (as well as a text file which helps in diagnosing and repairing door switch problems) at our site, which is linked at our listing here on FixYa: http://tinyurl.com/yzjozk You can find helpful exploded views, and often service manual portions here: http://www3.sears.com/

The damper drawing above is typical, not exact to your model. It's a motor that runs a flap (damper) and the switch that detects the damper position.

Mircowave not heating in convential or microwave what are possible faults?

First vote would be door sensor. What happens to the interior light with open/close? A brief shot of silicon lube spray with door mechanism may help. Safety is a prime concern on a microwave so be gentle and visualize replacement.

Microwave stops working after about 4 min. then comes back on after about 5 min.

does this happen when your cooking with the stove top, if so, then its causing the mircowave to be too hot.

I have a kenmore stove whose burners wont light. oven works fine. burners will spark but no gas comes out. recently I turned off the power to the stove by turning the fuse off. what do I need to do to get...

If the gets give no gas then sounds like a Thermocouple, this is a device that allows the gas to come on after a period of time ensuring that the pilot is lit and heated up this thermocouple, once it heats it then allows gas to enter and ignite the main burner..hope this helps ,please leave feedback.

Hood range microwave not heating up

We had one that did the same thing. my brother got so mad at it he put a wrench in it and turned it on. It didn't do anything to it. No power surge nothing. It acted as if I put a plate of food. Lighted up turned and even beeped when done. The wrench wasn't even hot. Now I do recommend this myself. But we went and got antoher one.
There is something in there that magnifys the power inside the mircowave and it sounds like its out.
