Thanks for taking my question. Model Info: Whirlpool Accubake system electric range Super Capacity 465...... my wife moved the range to clean behind and it sparked at the plug and blew the breaker. Breaker won't reset. Unplugged; turned breaker off; plugged back in and reset breaker - sparked again at the plug and tripped the breaker. Can't see any visible burn areas on plug or cord ?? Please advise.

How do I use the self-cleaning function on my Whirlpool Super Capacity 465 self-cleaning oven?

If you just want to run the basic self-clean cycle. First remove the broiler pan and racks from the oven. Next clean any heavy spills up with a non-abrasive cleaner (do not use an oven cleaner). Clean the window of the oven door and the door frame (to the outside of the gasket). Then close the oven. If the oven has a touch-pad, press the Auto-clean pad on the oven followed by Start. The oven will automatically lock and then unlock when the oven has cooled after the cleaning cycle. (I'm less certain of the control settings for the dial type of oven control.)

In order to get your manual you need the full model number of the oven. This is on a plate located behind the storage door. This pdf, http://adcxns1.whirlpool.com/Service/SrvTechAdm.nsf/2cd44500d572193285256a45004fd9d6/ca8e028c60d9804f85256a8c00621f04/$FILE/4322089.pdf , gives you a picture of where the model and serial numbers are is on page 4 as well as some of the information contained in the serial number on the subsequent pages.

Once you have your model number, go to http://shared.whirlpoolcorp.com/product_literature/search.jsp?siteCd=WHRCOM and enter the model number. This should let you get the manual specific to your oven.

I hope this helps.

I have a Whilpool Accubake Microwave hood combinationo microwave Model GH5176XP and it will not heat. Everything else seems to work.

It sounds like the magnetron may have either failed or is not being supplied with the extremely high voltage required to run it.
Make sure the !!!!capacitor is discharged!!!!! before attempting any sort of repair.
Check the door interlock switches first then the high voltage diode with either an AVO model 8 on high resistance range for short circuit, the feed fuse on the primary of the high voltage transformer and then finally, the magnetron is best checked by substitution.
Hope that helps.

Whirlpool Gold Accubake system microwave indicates door open whenever try to heat. Light (inside microwave) does not come on when door is open. Door open error stays on until cancel button clicked then...

I just had the same problem with my microwave. First DISCONNECT THE POWER. Remove the front top grill (screws are on top of microwave). Unscrew the one screw at the top of the control panel and lift it out of the way. You will see three micro switches to the left of the pannel. I bent the metal frame they were mounted to by hand to move them back into place. The microwave oven works great now. If this does not help, then I would consider replacing the top limit switch.

HOW TO UNINSTALL A WHIRLPOOL OVER THE RANGE MICROWAVE. iT IS IN A HOUSE WE JUST MOVED INTO AND IT IS BROKEN. iT IS ALSO HARD WIRED

Since you did not give model number I am providing info for one type of MW that may be similar. If you want specific info for your MW find model number and consult this page: http://shared.whirlpoolcorp.com/product_literature/search.jsp
Otherwise here are the installation instructions I found that you can use in reverse to figure out how to remove your MW.
