lights & timer

My microwave lights & timer work but when it is supposed to start running, I hear a click & nothing heats up. I am thinking its the transformer. Has anyone else had this problem?

I had to make new holes in the cabinet above the microwave to fit the new screw locations, but the paper template worked well to locate the new holes. If you buy from BestBuy, they might do the install for you. They did not do ours due to the Covid restrictions at the time. The new Samsung model that I used is ME19R7041FB, which is the black model, but I think there was also a stainless finish option too.
Bob, What model Samsung model did you go with?

Byron, I know you answered this question over 2 years ago, but my door switches on my High Pointe Micro shuts off the power and then shortly after it comes back on. You replaced yours with a Whirlpool, I think. I am thinking the same but want to know if you had a vent issue with the new unit. I may have some wiggle room with the vent but not much

[QUOTE=Daryles;1232466]My High Pointe Microwave quit. Suspected fuse. Found a couple of YouTube videos showing how to remove the top front cover and replace the fuse. Take a butter knife and run it under the top edge. Apparently where the 2 screws go down from the top, there is some metal burrs that protrude through the screw holes into the plastic tab that cause it to hang on. Run the butter knife under the screw holes releases the top front cover. PULL HARD straight towards you.

Microwave door switches
https://www.facebook.com/groups/Mont...8402346674091/
Amazon: KW3A need 1 (comes with 2 switches in the kit), KW3AT-16 need 1
Black upper switch P/N KW3AT-16 normally open.
Grey upper switch P/N KW3A normally closed
Grey lower switch P/N KW3A normally open
Pay attention to which one goes where.
Eventually I replaced the HighPointe with a Whirlpool WMH31017HZ04
Microwave only. We never used the convection oven.[/QUOTE. I see you replaced your microwave with a new one a while ago. My door switches on my High Pointe Micro shuts off the power and then shortly after it comes back on. Not looking to replacing the door switches especially if that’s not the problem. Unit is 4 years old. You replaced yours with a Whirlpool, I think. I am thinking the same but want to know if you had a vent issue with the new unit. I may have some wiggle room with the vent but not much

Bgjon56,
Yes, the new Whirlpool model vent opening was slightly different. I had to do a little trimming to make it fit and I had to remove the top row (1") of backsplash tile to make it fit.

So did you remove the outer vent cover before putting in your microwave? Or how were you able to determine if you needed to do your trimming to make it fit?

No I did not have to remove the outside vent cover.
Post #7.
We put leveling blocks on the cooktop to hold up the new one in place. Then slide it in and out to check where the wall vent and the new microwave vent met. Once we got that figured out I cut the wall on the inside to match the new microwave. I only had to shave off about 1/2" or so. Then I used metal foil tape and some tin/aluminum flashing to make a new vent seal to match each other for a good tight fit.
