  If your Whirlpool Microwave Oven seems to be working but the food isn't cooking, it could be due to several reasons: * A defective magnetron (filament broken, filament short to ground, etc.). * A broken ground wire of the HV transformer. * A filament wire short to ground or broken. * Bad contact in the magnetron terminals. * Defective control boards. * HV diode breakdown, which may also produce a humming noise.

Why does my Whirlpool Microwave Oven cook for a short while and then stop?

  Angela MitchellAug 6, 2025
  If your Whirlpool Microwave Oven cooks for a short time and then stops, the issue might be related to the cooling fan. Check if the cooling fan is jammed, if the cooling fan motor has an open circuit, or if there's a defective cooling fan control relay.

  If the user circuit breaker activates when using your Whirlpool Microwave Oven, it's likely due to high leakage in electrical components, most commonly the motor. Consider checking these components for issues.

What to do if the cavity lamp does not light and all other electrical components also do not work on my Whirlpool Microwave Oven?

  If the cavity lamp in your Whirlpool Microwave Oven doesn't light, and none of the other electrical components are working, it could be due to: 1. The power plug not making good contact with the socket. 2. Lack of power supply. 3. A blown fuse. 4. Bad contact between the fuse and its holder/clip. 5. A loose door hinge, poorly adjusted door, or poorly adjusted interlock causing the fuse to blow. 6. A short circuit within the electrical circuit. 7. A shorted lamp filament or HV transformer causing the fuse to blow. 8. Bad contact in the contacts or terminals of the timer switch, primary and secondary interlock switch, or a broken HV diode.

Why cavity lamp does not light on my Whirlpool AVM 512 Microwave Oven, but other electrical components are working?

  If the cavity lamp in your Whirlpool Microwave Oven does not light, but other electrical components like the turntable are working, it could be due to a burnt-out lamp or bad contact between the lamp and the lamp socket. Check the lamp and socket for these issues.
