# Maytag microwave repair

### Which machine it is decides whether this is worth doing

Sixty-seven of this maker's seventy-six microwave code pages belong to the over-the-range machine, and so does the argument for repairing one. It is fitted, wired, often ducted, and it carries the ventilation for the range beneath it — so replacing it is a carpentry job on top of an appliance one and the repair usually wins. A countertop machine is the opposite: the parts and the labor together frequently exceed what it is worth, and that is said on the phone rather than after a visit.

What this involves

Over-the-range machines: fitted, ducted, and the hood as well

On a countertop machine we will usually tell you not to bother

The high-voltage side is the last thing opened, not the first

Which machine, and whether it is built in

That decides the arithmetic before anything is diagnosed, and it is asked on the phone.

What the panel shows

Sixty-seven numbered pages on the over-the-range machine, and most of them point at the touch panel, the interlocks or a thermostat rather than at the magnetron.

Door interlocks and control

The commonest real answers, and both are modest parts.

The high-voltage circuit, last

Discharged and measured properly. If this is the answer on a countertop machine, the honest advice is usually a new one.

### It runs but does not heat.

The high-voltage side, and it is the last thing opened rather than the first. On a countertop machine that diagnosis is usually the end of the conversation; on a fitted one it is the beginning of a repair worth doing.

### Is a microwave dangerous to work on?

The capacitor holds a charge long after the machine is unplugged, which is why this is not a job to attempt at home. Everything else about it is ordinary appliance work.
