Microwave Repair

Hello,

The stove top lights do not come on. I replaced the bults and they still do not come on. THe indicator on the front says toggles thru and says off, bright, and night. (mAybe not in that order or wording) Anyway the light does not come on. Any ideas?

Thanks,
Greg

My KitchenAid hood combo has the same problem plus inside light wonā€™t come on eitherā€¦ Iā€™m thinking there may be a fuse thatā€™s blown thoughā€¦ still waiting for some help in the forum before taking on any repairs.

Hi Greg,

Sorry for the delay.

The stove top lights operates by the control board. If there is no power to the lights then the control board has to be replaced.

What is the complete model number of the microwave?

I picked up a Kenmore 363.62709200 microwave at a yard sale (for cheap, thankfully) and installed it over my range. The microwave part works great, but the first time I turned the light on, there was an almighty ZAP. I immediately shut the light off, disconnected it from power, and pulled both bulbs, which seemed to be in pretty rough shape. Fearing the worst, I plugged one bulb in and plugged the unit back to wall power. The microwave still works fine, but neither the light nor the range fan will turn on ā€“ the controls happily cycle through ā€œHI / LO / OFF,ā€ but thereā€™s no response from light or fan. Oh, and I can hear a faint ā€œclickā€ as I cycle through the settings.

Any notion of how Iā€™d go about diagnosing what partā€™s necessary? Is there a separate fuse for the lights/fan?

Thanks!

Adam,

Check all light sockets and wires from the control panel to the bottom of the microwave and replace the control board.
