20 Most Recent Frigidaire PLMV168 Microwave Oven Questions & Answers

I think the control panel may have failed.

Hey Abraham Acevedo, thank you for the post!

From my understanding the door on your Frigidaire microwave, PLMV168, is not staying closed. You could be seeing an issue with either your door latch or latch assembly within the microwave. Since these components require patience and precision to replace or remove from your appliance, I always suggest seeking professional assistance. One must be very careful handling these replacement parts as they can lead to potential harm. -Matt

Hey friend, thank you for the post!

I understand that your Frigidaire microwave door is sagging and your appliance is not working properly. You could need to a new door or hinges. These intricate parts do require precision and patience, therefore when replacing the exchange of such components or removing them from your appliance, I always suggest seeking professional assistance. One must be very careful as these replacements can lead to potential harm. -Chris

It's obvious you put a lot of thought and detail in your question.

Possible blown fuse inside of microwave

Buy New, not work the cost of the repair..

check the ground its important

This is pretty common and can be a pain. It's tacked in place with contact cement or hot glue, and sometimes there may have been enough moisture to corrode and seize up. You could heat it up (hair dryer, maybe?) then use needle nose pliers. Be careful if heating so you don't burn anything. You may be able to put the tips of needle nose pliers inside the broken bulb's socket, gently but firmly force the pliers jaws apart and then rotate the pliers to loosen it. Another cool trick is to put a big glob of hot glue on the end of a stick or dowel, then shove it into the broken base and let it cool about 5 minutes, then turn the stick. I like to put a little WD-40 or rust buster on the threads of the new bulb, too. Grease, Vaseline, cooking oil, or anything like that will work. Just a thin coat.
