Maytag MMV5156AAS Microwave Hood Combo Repair

Most common issues on this model

Keypad not responding
Glass tray not turning
Cooktop lamp dark even with a good bulb
Cooking cycle that does not warm the food

Maytag MMV5156AAS is an over-the-range microwave oven. The same number also exists as MMV5156AAB, so the final letter on your label is worth checking. This type sits above the cooktop in the cabinet opening and shares the space with the exhaust fan and the cooking lamps.

With controls that stop responding, we look at the touch panel and the cable behind it, then the door switches, since a microwave will not start if it thinks the door is open. If the turntable does not turn, we pull the tray, check the roller ring and the motor shaft, and test the motor itself.

We take the complete model and serial from the label before ordering a part. You approve a written price first, and the repair is backed by our 30-day warranty on workmanship. If replacing the microwave is wiser, we tell you.

MMV5156AASMMV5156AAS questions

Why does my MMV5156AAS ignore the touch pads?

A worn pad membrane, a loose ribbon cable or a control board problem can cause it. We test the pads and the connection before the board, because the cable and panel are cheaper to confirm and replace.

Why will my microwave not start even with the door shut?

The door switches and the latch hooks. If one switch does not register a closed door, the control keeps the unit from starting. We test each switch with a meter and replace only the one that fails.

Are parts still available for an over-the-range microwave like this?

Common parts for this type, like switches, lamps, motors and filters, are usually still orderable. We confirm availability for your number and tell you the price before we begin.
