How To Fix KitchenAid/Whirlpool Microwave Error code F6 E8 Not Heating Problem Solved DIY

[@ncvdiagnostics]

I got the same problem did what you done and WORKS! Sorry but now a different error did came up shows inverter but I changed the first door switch and works!!! Thank you!!!

[@atomikrobot300099]

Thanks! That same door switch is busted on our combo unit! It’s preventing the microwave face switch from depressing fully, causing the door corner to be slightly ajar on that side.

I hope my video was helpful. Those switches are more common then I thought once looking into it.

@@thorrepairs6557 Interestingly, Reliable Parts has the entire harness part no. W11033422 for 137$ CAD. It comes with two new white switch holders, fuse, thermal cutouts, etc. My switch is jammed real bad if you try pressing it from the front of the microwave opening. Mine combo unit is slightly different than yours too... the entire unit needs to come out. I'd hate to take it apart only to find the white switch holder is broken. The white switch holders alone are 85$ each! The exact V15T16-CZ200 model switches are 7$ from Mouser Canada.

@@thorrepairs6557 For someone in the future who finds this. The complete harness is backordered with no ETA (could be a year +). The latest switch part number is V15T16-CZ200 in 2022 as the V15T16-CZ200-09 has been discontinued.

Mine has a switch on BOTH sides of the door but the video shows, on the inside of the MW, that the two switches are together? On mine, the left switch seems ok, the right switch won't go all the way in. Does that mean it's not functioning?

[@thorrepairs6557]

If it’s not clicking and going in and out that would be the switch I would replace.

[@willispeguese5737]

I have the same problem!!! I will let you know how it went.

[@thorrepairs6557]

Yes please let me know!!

I am getting error codes on my microwave and read a comment from a technician that makes total sense - he said that If the door switches are not functioning no other repair you make will prove to be effective. To this point, i suspect that my problem is my actuator switch - there are two small black buttons on the inside frame of the microwave door that get activated when the door is closed. The switch on the left side of my microwave can easily be pushed in with your finger, however, that is not the case for the button on the right hand side. Would you be so kind and tell me if both of your switches are easily be pressed in with your finger? If so then its only a matter of reconnecting this piece and mkg sure that the little spring is attached. There are several videos that show how to do this. Just hoping you can save me a lot of effort tearing apart this microwave! Thanks in advance!

[@thorrepairs6557]

They both can be pressed in easily. They should have a clicking sound when you push them in. One of mine didn’t make the clicking sound and had basically no resistance when pushing it in. That was the faulty switch. I hope this helps. Thanks for watching.

@@thorrepairs6557 This is extremely helpful! There is no other information online about these switches. Much appreciated ;)
