W10727360 & W10269458 & W10269460 Switch

I ordered this set of switches for my Whirlpool microwave (Model WMH76719C‑2) after my wife noticed the interior light was intermittently failing for a couple of weeks. Eventually the light stopped working completely, and the microwave itself quit as well. That pointed to a door‑switch issue. I disassembled the microwave to access the switches and tested them with an ohm meter. They seemed to function, but I couldn’t tell whether there was a voltage drop under load. Given the microwave is 10 years old, I suspected the contacts had some carbon buildup. I also checked the internal fuse, which was still good. I’ve read that when the 3‑prong microswitch fails it often blows the fuse, so I was fortunate there. Since I already had everything apart, I decided to replace all three switches at once, if one was failing, the others likely weren’t far behind. This kit includes all three, and it’s important to note that each switch is different and must go in the correct position. The 3‑prong switch is obvious, but the two 2‑prong switches can be mixed up if you’re not paying attention. The tab locations make it easy to match them before removing the originals. The new switches fit perfectly and looked identical to the factory parts. Even the molded markings on the plastic housings matched exactly. After installing them, the microwave has been working flawlessly for several days. This kit is an excellent value and completely solved my issue. I’m very happy with this purchase.

Replaced this in my whirpool microwave. The error msg was that the door is not closed. It was a $500 microwave so very disappointing that whirpool is using such weak quality parts. The parts I removed simply where breaking up..its like the plastic was 10 years old. After replacing it works fine.

Fixed my neighbors Whirlpool microwave while he was in the hospital. Microwave wouldn’t shut off when the door was closed. $11.44 instead of a new appliance for three to four hundred, all day long!

It worked out well for me to fix my above the range microwave to keep from buying a new one.

We had our house on the market and wouldn't you know it, the microwave stops working! I figured that I would either have to replace it (pain in the butt with an overhead unit) or pay at least a couple of hundred to get it repaired. Some quick Googling revealed what you probably already know - most problems are related to these door switches. These work for a Maytag MMV4205DS-3, and I guessing they will work for almost any Whirlpool manufactured microwave of the same age. Installation is simple enough - just Google your model and something close enough will be found on YouTube. I could not find my model, but found a couple that had a similar control panel, so removal was very close to the same. Just be careful because some models look like they have the transformer within reach, so make sure and discharge that baby before reaching your hands in there. NOTE: If your oven is completely dead - no power even when plugged in - that means you will also need a fuse. Mine had a dead fuse too - caused by me - and there are 2 of them in this model. One is easily located on the control panel board, but the other one was located at the very top of the unit, in the back, so required a set of needle nose pliers to reach it and pull it out. The transformer is up there, so had to be discharged. Home Depot type stores have these fuses in stock - in a handy 2 pack - LOL!.

I had an issue, which many may find helpful on here, where my microwave was tripping the breaker. I used a multi-meter on the main plug while unplugged and it was beeping/reading bad. I opened the door and tried again and it didn’t beep. I set the breaker again at the panel and it stayed set so I knew it was more than likely a bad door switch. I replaced the door switches with this product in under 20 mins and the microwave is good as new and has been running fine daily for over a month now. By the way, the old door switches were very worn and was stuck/welded to itself causing a short. Don’t go buy an expensive new microwave if you are the least bit handy! Easy fix. Great product. Much more affordable than a new microwave!!!

You get what you pay for. Two of the three switches installed and functioned just fine. However, the third switch fell appart in my hand during installation and could not be used. Thankfully, the old switch could still be used and my microwave functioned like normal.

Why did you pick this product vs others?: Perfect fit and very easy to install. Got my microwave working again in just a few minutes. The old parts did not allow a safe seal of the door, so the microwave would not turn on. These fixed the issue and saved me $$$.
