Frequently Asked Questions
•How do I access the fan motor on my Maytag microwave?
Generally, you need to unplug the microwave, remove the outer casing screws (usually with a 1/4-inch nut driver), and carefully slide the casing off. The fan motor is typically located at the top or back of the microwave.
•What type of replacement fan motor do I need?
You'll need to find the part number on the original fan motor and order a direct replacement. If the number is illegible check the model number of the microwave to order the part.
•How do I test the fan motor relay on the control board?
With the microwave unplugged, use a multimeter to check the continuity of the relay coil. A reading outside the normal range (typically a few hundred ohms) indicates a faulty relay. You can also test the relay's switch contacts for proper operation when the relay is energized (carefully!)
