MMV5165AAS
Maytag MMV5165AAS Vent Hood Microwave Repair
Most common issues on this model
- Lamp below the unit staying dark
- Cooking that leaves food cool
- Exhaust fan weak or not responding
- Keypad skipping presses
MMV5165AAS is a Maytag microwave with a built-in vent fan, installed over the range. Its number is also listed as MMV5165AAB, so confirm the letters printed on the label. In Houston the unit often works hard, because frying and boiling put grease and steam right in front of the filters.
That is why we start with the vent side. We remove and inspect the filters, run each fan speed, and see how air leaves the top or front. If a lamp is dark we test the bulb, then the socket. A unit that runs without heating gets the door switches and the high-voltage circuit, with the stored charge discharged first.
Parts are matched to the exact label, so we copy it before ordering. The price is written and approved before work starts, and the finished repair has a 30-day workmanship warranty.

How often should the filters on a microwave hood like this be cleaned?
Greasy filters restrict airflow, so cleaning them every month or two in a busy kitchen helps the fan. On a visit we check them and tell you whether the weak airflow is a filter issue or the fan motor.
Why would the light work but the fan not?
The lamp and the fan run on separate circuits. A fan that does nothing may have a failed motor, a speed switch or a control problem. We test the fan motor directly to tell which one it is.
Will you quote a price for my MMV5165AAS before the repair?
Yes. After diagnosis you get a written price, and nothing is replaced until you approve it. If the repair is not sensible for the unit we tell you directly.
