MMV1163DS
Maytag MMV1163DS Microwave Vent Repair
Most common issues on this model
- Exhaust fan moving little air
- Keypad skipping presses
- Glass tray sitting still while it cooks
- Cooktop lamp staying dark even after a new bulb
The MMV1163DS is a Maytag microwave built to hang under the cabinet above a range. The same base number also appears as MMV1163DB, so the last letters on your label may differ from this page. We see this style of unit mounted over Houston cooktops, often in kitchens that have not been remodeled in years.
Because it doubles as a range hood, we look at the vent side first: fan speeds, the filter, and whether the exhaust is ducted outside or recirculated through the top grille. Then we test the cooktop lamps, the turntable motor and the touch panel before we decide what part is needed.
Our visit ends with the number on the label. We copy the model and serial, confirm them against what we ordered, and give you a written price before any part goes in. A repair that costs more than the unit is worth gets called out plainly.

Why does the fan on my MMV1163DS barely move air?
On an over-the-range microwave we check the grease filters, the fan motor and the speed control, and whether the duct or the recirculating charcoal path is blocked. Many weak fans turn out to be a clogged filter or a worn motor.
Is it worth repairing an over-the-range microwave like this?
Often yes for a fan, lamp, turntable or touch pad repair, because those parts are inexpensive. If the cost gets close to a new unit we say so before any work starts, and quote the price in writing.
Does the letter after MMV1163D matter?
Yes, it marks a color or revision, and a few parts can differ. We copy the complete number from the label inside the cavity or on the frame so the part we bring fits your unit.
