MMV1164WS
Maytag MMV1164WS Hood Combination Repair
Most common issues on this model
- Food staying cold in a microwave that otherwise runs
- Exhaust fan slow or not starting
- Cooktop lamp not lighting
- Keypad answering only some pads
MMV1164WS is a Maytag microwave that combines a cooking cavity with a range hood, mounted over the stove. Another suffix of the same number, MMV1164WB, is also listed, so the letters on your label may not match this page exactly. Units like this are usually bolted to the wall and the cabinet above the cooktop.
When a customer says it runs but does not heat, we start with the door switches and the high-voltage side, and we take care to discharge the capacitor before touching anything. On the hood side we move through the fan speeds and check how air leaves the unit, either through a duct or back into the kitchen.
Before any part is ordered, the label gets read in full and the model and serial are checked against our order. You see the price in writing first, and finished work is under a 30-day workmanship warranty.
Key features
- Microwave oven and range hood in a single housing
- Exhaust with several fan speeds, ducted or recirculating
- Lamps lighting the cooktop
- Glass tray turned by a motor under the cavity

My MMV1164WS turns and lights up but does not heat. What do you check?
We check the door latch switches first, then the heating circuit that feeds the cavity. High-voltage parts in a microwave hold a charge, so we discharge them before testing. We quote the price before replacing any part.
Can you reach the unit when it is mounted high over my range?
Yes. We work from the cooktop side with the burners cool and protect the surface. If the microwave has to come off its mounting bracket, we tell you before we start and handle the lifting safely.
Does the exhaust type change the repair?
It changes what we check. A ducted unit can lose airflow through the duct or damper, while a recirculating one depends on its filter. We look at both paths before blaming the fan motor.
