I went through several silly suggestions until l got to this one! Did as directed, and works like a charm!! Thank you! 🙏🏻 Wife was having Thanksgiving in April, so pressure was on to get the microwave usable!! Thanks again..😅

[@joehunter9808]

Happened to mine an hour ago. Won’t run. Door message show up. Watched your video and followed your instructions, wow ! It’s work now ! Thanks and Salute 🫡

[@ApartmentMaintenancePro]

Glad it helped !!

Thank you for making this video! Did this on my microwave and haven't had any issues since. Truly appreciate it!

[@kerrybranch2587]

There must be a place in Heaven for you for the help you give to others ! I was ready to replace the switch and found your video--it WORKED !! Thank you so much for your time and info.

[@ApartmentMaintenancePro]

Wow, thanks, glad you go it working!

[@AlohaArtGallery]

THANK YOU!!! I am so grateful to you for taking the time to make this video. You've saved a lot of people a lot of money. My Kitchen Aid microwave door fell off. I reattached & reset it, but the internal light never shut off & the panel said "door" when trying to use it. Your video saved the day. Again, your kindness + knowledge are appreciated!

[@lynettebrown7870]

This is now the third time this has happened to mine. The first time one of the springs completely came off and had to put the latch back together. The second time just taking it apart and putting it back to get her seemed to work. This time I found your video and have lubricated the latches. Let’s see if it lasts longer this time. Either way, great explanation and instructions. Video saved for next time! 😊 Thanks so much for posting!!

You should change to WD40 specialist contact cleaner. I just fixed my oven, Thanks to your video.

[@ApartmentMaintenancePro]

Nice! Will check it out :)

Thanks bud just fixed mine had new microwave in the cart at lowes, works like a charm

[@upriseagain1]

Thank you, sir. This works for me every time, thus far👍🏽

[@kevronreid3234]

You are AMAZING!!! This was a quick fix. Grabbed some WD40 from the store and this took about 10mins and it's working smoothly. Thanks for sharing

[@ApartmentMaintenancePro]

Glad it helped!

[@marilynhorwitz-ge3pm]

WD40 worked!

[@doit4dan51]

My man! Wish I saw this video first, but got the job done the same night. Appreciate ya!

[@yana-tm1ph]

I wanted you to know, I did not remove the cover, I unplugged it, opened the door, then sprayed into the openings and the push button, 3 switches, then opened and closed the door several times, let it dry overnight(don't know if that was necessary} since the contact cleaner dries right away.

[@yana-tm1ph]

Well, I discovered the cleaner was too dry, so I am going to add some olive oil , just a few drops, that will be the same as food grade Wd40

[@kimsons3544]

Thank you for sharing. We just fixed our microwave using your video.

[@ApartmentMaintenancePro]

[@MJ-yz7jz]

Thank you so much!! Not exactly sane way to fix mine however it was a great start point !! Manufacturer customers service was useless

[@silentaoi]

[@normaski7193]

[@sharonsilveria5617]

we have a different Model but this still works, Thanks

[@justinc2971]

Thanks my man this just saved me from buying a new microwave 🎉

[@arthurberggren5618]

All silicone lubricant is a dielectric, so I wouldn't recommend putting that into micro switches. CRC contact cleaner or WD-40 contact cleaner would obviously be preferable.

[@MC91B]

BRAVO! Thank you!

Thank you that worked😁

[@kelm1123]

Awesome work Dave, do you have a video of a non working number 3, 4, 2 or stop button on the microwave panel?

[@ApartmentMaintenancePro]

I don’t and haven’t ran into that yet. May be clogged with grease but would have to remove the control panel to see what’s going on

[@kelm1123]

@@ApartmentMaintenancePro Thank you, that's possible

[@elenamontanye9164]

I did this, and when I plugged the microwave back in, the light won’t turn off and the plate is constantly slowly turning. And, of course, the microwave is still not functional. Help?

[@jhomrich89]

I have the Amana version of this thank you

[@ApartmentMaintenancePro]

Haven't worked on many Amana appliances glad it helped though :)

[@lehbarsingh7700]

Very nice

[@ericcampbell8881]

Check the door switch, there shoukd be 2.....I bet ones not working

[@kimberlymiller12946]

Hi, do you do repair

[@bobbywanger8123]

👍👍👍👍👍🔥🔥

[@richardmarroq6348]

It worked🎉 thanks

[@RR-ok4wz]

Will using Caig DeOxit have the same result?

[@permanentwave]

Can u just spray into the opening of the switch instead of taking it all out

[@ApartmentMaintenancePro]

It’s possible, but much easier (for me) to hit that back switch when it’s out

[@Roberto-u4x]
