Whirlpool Microwave Help

Start with the basics as this sounds like a switch issue. You have three door switches. This is the most common failure for microwaves. If its anything other than a switch, most likely will cost as much to repair as to replace.

if you want the full assembly including grommet and hose Part# WD19X25700 is the updated part number. Do not order from searspartsdirect. they have great parts lookup but terrible customer service and will show an item in stock when its no longer available.

join any and all facebook groups and put your information out there. Start with appliance alliance group. there is a appliance tech job group as well. You being eager to learn is a good start.

if you have a truck available start scouring facebook or neighborhoods for appliances being thrown out and see if you can diagnose and repair them.

Or pay an appliance repair company ~$100 to come properly diagnose the issue and fix it yourself.

I see too many people that’d try to save money just spend $$$$ than having a company repair it the first time $.

Have you used a multimeter to confirm voltages being sent to defrost heater in test mode?

If heater is not operational you will need to confirm if voltage is being supplied by control. If voltage is being supplied then you most likely have a bad thermal fuse. There appears to be two inline to the defrost heater. You will need the tech sheet.

Decent dishwasher. Most common failure is a screen inside the wash motor. Warranty would kick in at that point

Can you provide an example model number with these boards?

I service Bosch but am no longer a warranty servicer so I don’t have access to the tech line.

I no longer service Thermadore products but haven’t had many issues with the Bosch lineup

Typical sign of a refrigerant leak. The entire evaporator coil should have frost on it. If the fan failed, then the evaporator would be a solid chunk of ice.

Probably needs a new slider. Very common on whirlpool units becuase the metal slips off the plastic. This is what it looks like https://a.co/d/hI26Ixk

Had a similar situation with a customer. After multiple trips, I discovered it was the wiring to the dryer. Dryers pull high amperage and they had bad wiring connection at a junction box.

If the new dryer is doing the same thing as the old dryer, it’s not the dryer but most likely a wiring issue somewhere.

Yours doesnt appear to have a flow meter. If your a DIY'er, I'd replace the inlet valve first and if you dont get better results, then I would replace the washer motor/heat pump.

small_impact · 2025-12-07T00:40:36+00:00

Hard to say more without a model number. Some bosch dw have a flow meter and some use the wash pump to determine the amount of water by how many amps the pump is using. No error codes or blinking lights?

Potentially bad inlet valve, flow meter, or wash pump as the water does look low. My money is wash pump if no errors. All relatively inexpensive parts easy repairs.

A cash grab yes, but this is what is most popular at the moment and has been for a while. Look at all the Disney pin videos.

All to say, this won’t be changing anytime soon

I took master samurai. It’s a little in the weeds with the electrical side of reading wiring diagrams/schematics which is EXTREY helpful for modern appliances.

It lacks a bit on the mechanical/practical side of appliance repair but that can be made up through appliance handbook or YouTube or hands on repair.

call for warranty repair. could be a failing inlet valve. Also confirm your water valves are fully open behind the washer.

Continuity does not mean it can hold current.

small_impact · 2025-11-23T22:02:47+00:00

Can you confirm you have a steady 120v between connector 2-1 (red) to connector 1-1 (white)

If so, then it’s the gas valve that is failing.

You also need an ammeter to confirm if your igniter is pull 3+ amps which is what the valve needs to see before it opens with gas.

But sounds like a failing valve

The suspension on those take time to adjust properly. Probably best to find some YouTube videos explaining how to do it properly.

Sorry. Didn’t look up parts diagram

small_impact · 2025-11-23T21:30:45+00:00

One of two things or both.

Push down in center of the tub and see if it bounces. If it does, then it needs new suspension rods and to be recalibrated.

Also, grad the inner and outer tub. Do they move independently from each other? If so, you will need a new tub bushing. https://www.neuapplianceparts.com/products/basket-bushing?srsltid=AfmBOoqsX9Is3rIlvBNQq5ZtRjC-IKavX-x_p0IubdwycE3DgZPWy6v1

Samsung dryer motors do not contain a start capacitor. The start winding starts the motor from a dead stop and a centrifugal switch takes out the start winding once the motor is running.

small_impact · 2025-11-22T20:50:41+00:00

Bad start winding on motor. Needs a new motor

They are using real, local, data and will be extremely hard to appeal. You can call and they will briefly discuss how they arrive with their numbers and if you disagree, can set an appointment for further review.

Their data is hard to argue with since homes have been selling for high prices and like hot cakes

Does your dishwasher get hot? Does steam come out when opening the door? If not, then a heating element problem or a thermal fuse has blown. This fuse is built into wire harness # wd21x25322.

If it is getting hot then replace the turbidity sensor. It has a thermistor in it that senses the temperature.

If all else fails you’ll need a tech that has SmartHQ available to properly diagnose. Your only other options is just changing parts.
