The lock symbol is on and it says locked, how do i reset it
For model number JMC8130DDS
Hello Valerie, thank you for your question. We would recommend unplugging the unit or turning power off to the unit for 5 minutes to reset the unit. If that doesn't work, the issue could be with the door latch or the electronic board.

Hi , my microwave just stopped turning but the time shows perfectly fine and don’t think it’s heating as well
Thank you
For model number JMC8130DDS
Hi Kiran, thank you for contacting us. Considering the symptoms you mentioned, the issue seems that either one or more of the door interlock switches has shorted. The door switches come as a kit with part number PS373050. Checking the switches for continuity using a multimeter might help. Good luck with the repair!
After shopping all over town trying to find a new tray I discovered PartSelect.com, I called and ordered the tray and received it the next afternoon. It couldn't have gone smoother.
1. I went to the internet to find the service manual for the Maytag microwave. 2. I opened up the oven and started measuring the resistance of the diode, capacitor, transformer, and magnetron between terminals and then to ground. The transformer and magnetron were well within the resistance limits. The diode was shorted in both directions(+-). The capacitor was fully open in both directions -- high resistance. 3. I ordered the 2 parts, installed them, and ran the oven. Worked perfect first time. 4. Reinstalled oven and worked ever since (1 week so far). 5. The secret was that the transformer had a load hum. I figured the transformer was OK. The magnetron had no short between filaments and ground to filaments. The only two left were the diode and capacitor. The first two are about $200 -- almost the value of a new microwave. The $70 repair was well worth it. If the first two were still bad, then tempted to buy a new oven.
