What to do if my Whirlpool AVM585/IX cavity lamp does not light, and all other electrical components also do not work?

  If the cavity lamp in your Whirlpool Microwave Oven isn't lighting and none of the other electrical components are working, it could be due to several reasons: * The power plug may not be properly connected to the socket, or there may be no power supply. * The fuse might be blown. * There could be bad contact between the fuse and its holder/clip. * A loose door hinge, poorly adjusted door, or interlock might be causing the fuse to blow. * There might be a short circuit within the electrical circuit, such as a shorted lamp filament or HV transformer, causing the fuse to blow. * There could be bad contact in the contacts or terminals of the timer switch, or the primary and secondary interlock switch. * The HV diode might be broken down.

  If your Whirlpool Microwave Oven cooks for a short time and then stops, the issue might be due to a jammed cooling fan, an open circuit in the cooling fan motor, or a defective cooling fan control relay.

Why Whirlpool AVM585/IX Microwave Oven seems working, but food does not cook?

  If your Whirlpool Microwave Oven appears to be working, but your food isn't cooking, possible causes include a defective magnetron (filament broken or short to ground), a broken ground wire on the HV transformer, a filament wire short to ground or broken, bad contact in the magnetron terminals, defective control boards, or a breakdown of the HV diode, which may also produce a humming noise.

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

Why does the user circuit breaker activate when using my Whirlpool AVM585/IX Microwave Oven?

  If the user circuit breaker activates when you're using your Whirlpool Microwave Oven, it could be due to high leakage in electrical components, most likely in the motor.
