A North Canton customer called when their Frigidaire microwave quit working and was running continuously when the door was shut. After diagnosing the FFMV164LSA, we determined a replacement was the best solution and installed a new Whirlpool microwave.
The Problem
The customer reported their microwave quit working and it runs continuously when the door is shut. This type of malfunction indicates a serious control or door switch failure that poses safety concerns.
Diagnosis
Upon inspection of the Frigidaire FFMV164LSA, we found the unit had multiple system failures that made repair impractical. The continuous running with the door closed indicated critical safety switch malfunctions that would require extensive component replacement.
The Repair
- Parts replaced: 440212-Microwave Whirlpool — complete unit replacement
- Work performed: Installed new Whirlpool microwave
- Result: Customer now has a fully functional, safe microwave with modern features
Is It Worth Repairing?
For older Frigidaire microwaves with multiple system failures, especially safety-related issues like continuous operation, replacement is often the most cost-effective solution. Modern microwaves offer better energy efficiency and safety features than units from several years ago.
Maintenance Tips for Frigidaire Microwaves
- Keep the door seals clean and inspect regularly for proper closure
- Clean the interior after spills immediately to prevent damage to the cavity walls
- Test door switches monthly by ensuring the unit stops immediately when opened
