Need help with my microwave
Posted on 12/19/19 at 10:28 am

I have a newish microwave, about a year and a half old, that crapped out on me yesterday. Everything with it is fine, but when I start it up, it shuts down and trips the breaker after running for 2 seconds... I had an electrician come out yesterday and check all of my wiring and my panel, and everything checked out fine so we have the problem isolated to the microwave
I pulled it off the wall, but couldn’t figure out how the hell to get to the panel. I read online that it could be anything from door sensors/toggles to capacitors or some other shite
There really wasn’t much online that I could find on HOW to take this damn thing apart. Any help would be appreciated
It’s a frigidaire gallery series, model #fgmv176ntf
Have a huge Christmas party at my house Saturday, would love to get this thing fixed before then, or if I can’t fix it, I’ll just go buy another one (merry Christmas to me
)

For what it will cost in time and money to fix it, you should probably just buy a new one. Especially if you need it in 2 days.
And next time don't buy a microwave from a company with "frigid" in the name.

Facts
Appliance repair guy I just got off the phone with told me $45 to come look at it. I’ll see what the parts cost and go from there I guess

I just replaced my Samsung microwave with the exact same symptoms. Mine was under warranty so had a covered house call by a repair tech. Turns out it was shorting to the chassis intermittently. Tech declared it unrepairable and a fire hazard. Got a new Whirlpool (based on his recommendation of what he sees for reliability) and problem never resurfaced.
So yeah, just go get another one. Even if you figure out how to remove the panel(s) and sub-chassis, that may not tell you anything and by the time you screw around with it for a few hours you could have a new one in place.

I just replaced my Frigidaire with a LG. I had the same problem. Looked up the problem on the internet, called Frigidaire, and the lady said the company acknowledged the problem but did not issue a recall. All I did was replace the wall hanging bar and the installation was easy. The LG bar fit exactly where the Frigidaire bar was, but a slightly different design. I was not too happy with the Frigidaire response.

Frigidaire is known for a frigid response....

Been down this exact road a few months ago. Do yourself a favor and buy a new one.
