Whatever u do discharge the Capacitor when u break it open...if u don't know how to do that ..leave that damn thing alone....some of those damn things store enough juice to kill u and some have a pulse type cap that u have to have a diode to discharge..I will work anything, but a Microwave.. BTW If its Kenmore then of course u know by now its another manufacture...Kenmore is just a name on someone Else's shit |
| I fixed mine this morning with a 1.99 switch from FRY'S. It was one of the door interlock switches. Took 10 min to trouble shoot and 15 to change out the switch. Don't sweat the capacitor if you don't touch it it won't bite ya. It would have been hard to even touch the terminals on mine they were WELL insulated. SS |
Is there more than 1 switch ? I only see 1 in the bottom latch hole. Found out its a GoldStar. |
| On mine there are FIVE switches. Two at bottom two at top and one in the middle. You will have to take the cover off and take out the assembly behind the control panel if it's anything like mine to see all the switches. Take pictures and notes so you know how to put it all back. I used my multimeter to figure out which switch had no continuity with the switch closed. The one that was bad would squeak as it was depressed but not when it was pressed all the way. I came close to missing it. SS |
