Microwave Light Flickering when Opening Door - How to Fix 

Thanks Joshua!

Just replaced the switch ? Or did you lube it more and let it dry overnight?

Wow, thanks!

Sweet, happy you got it fixed :)

I don’t know it being the ghost of your brother sounds much more likely

Much appreciated Christopher!

That sucks, pretty unlucky, ive dropped that panel many times and it hasnt ripped the connect out like that but I know what your referring to :(

Not sure you will have to look in the service manual which I believe is tucked away at the top vent

@@ApartmentMaintenancePro awesome. Thank you! I went and took the board and had that tested and then it ended up being a bad board- no complete circuit. so I've ordered that part for $75 so now I'm just waiting. Thank you again for the video! You rock!

No clue 🕵️‍♀️

@@ApartmentMaintenancePro I did notice afterwards that in one video they mentioned that there should be multiple door switches and that if any of them fail, then the oven won't operate. I checked out my microwave and it was 2 door switches (2 locations). I am guessing it's for safety because they'd otherwise be redundant. Be interesting to know the precise answer.

Microwaves won't emit carcinogenic radiation, only safe radiation such as infra-red (heat), and microwaves that are proven to be safe - I used to avoid them as well. You can sleep easy, Mr. & Mrs. Simkiss!

I would have them check it out it may get worse.

no but i'll update this comment if I run across one :)

I just had the same thing :(

Figured it out. The parts listed are BOTH for the top of the wmh31017fs. The switch listed as bottom is the right top (normally closed). The bottom is normally open. I used the listed part numbers to replace both top switches (there are two, one on either side of the housing). Both looked pretty gross on the top terminal so I also sat some heat shrink on those terminals loosely to help protect them. I put the original bottom switch back in and it’s all good. Except there may be a screw somewhere inside…

This model, the door has some wiggle to it, push forward on the top or bottom until you pinpoint the switch

Surely there’s a better way to determine which switch it is. I can’t tell which one it is, the door doesn’t have any “wiggle” when it’s closed.

Ya that's weird

The tones have been muted. Hold the ‘2’ key for 5 seconds.

Probably ghosts

If the electrical is properly grounded it wont

Microswitch

@@ApartmentMaintenancePro Is is there a way to know how to get the exact one??

@@m.a.pranks5658 the part numbers for this particular model are at the end of the video. Probably stamped on the switches themselves as well.

Silence is golden… until you really need someone to explain the why and what of ripping apart an electronic device.
