Hi Greg,
Sorry for the delay.
If you purchased this microwave in Oct 2010 then it is still under the warranty. Call Sears for service.

All technical documentation for your Kenmore microwave should be behind the top panel or inside the control panel. If it's not there, you can buy it from Sears only. Hello Gene, Saw your post from 2007 and thought I would see if you could help me please? We (home use) have a Kenmore microwave 1100 watt model 721.66339800 s/n 904TA00596 manufactured April 2009. Purchased Oct 2010 from Sears. Turns run and runs but will not heat. Capacitor checks out fine, Monitor,secondary and primary interlocks check out fine,HV diode checks out fine,Magnetron is checking out fine (according to Tech Sheet). Checked Transformer to ground it is fine,checked filament to ground it is fine but don't understand how to measure resistance for Primary,Secondary and Filament windings according to Tech Sheet. Have the Tech Sheet that tells me what to check and the readings I should obtain. Saw in an earlier post that if you check across Magnetron terminals and get continuity that it is shorted. Is this correct for all microwaves. If yes than this is the problem with this one. If this is not the case then what else can be the problem with thing not wanting to heat. Microwave should have lasted longer than this as we had a Tappan from Sears that kasted 17 Years. Thanks for any help, Greg Wamsley Point Pleasant,WV. 25550

Open the control panel and check the door switches for continuity with the door closed.

Same problem, all control panel functions work, fan, and lights but the unit does not heat. Any help?
|
|
sounds like a great idea !
|
|
I just called a repairman. Thanks for your prompt replies.

open the mic oven door and you should see some screws on the side of the control panel ..
|
|
How do I access the things to check. Do I remove the Microwave from the wall hanger or can I access it from the front. What do I check once inside
|
|
if you remove the control panel ( with power off, there should be some paperwork in an envelope ) it will tell you a little about the components inside .. need to check resistance of primary winding of High Voltage Transformer .. should also check High Voltage Capacitor as well ... ( and can also check the Mag Tube as well .. ) this is not necessarily easy and should remember that HV Cap's can store a lot of electricity so try to wear rubber gloves ( how old is unit ? ) sometimes it may be worth while calling a Frigi auth service tech ..
