try microwave repair shops as they may have plates from units that were repairable or may have new plates in stock contact maytag direct and see if they are available and where from

Disconnect microwave from power socket, remove cabinet outer cover,and lift the top or bottom door latch at micro-switch bracket with a screwdriver, the door can then be opened.

Sounds like the on switch for the fan is fused in the on position. You may need to replace the switch

built in 3/94 is it worth fixing how much for magetron

The 5E (SE) code indicates a problem with the keypad. A temporary solution may be to unplug the microwave and then reconnect the power cord. (Since the MMV1163DB is a microwave/hood, you may find it easier to turn off the power at your circuit breaker.) However, you will probably need to replace the keypad or fix the wiring between the keypad and the control unit. If the microwave is under warranty (1 year from date of purchase), contact Maytag at 1-800-688-9900 . One potential solution is to check for damage to the wire between the keypad and the central control unit in the microwave. If you are handy, you can try the procedure that can be found with a Google search. Look for a link to an ApplianceJunk.com forum on the 5E code. However, I can't recommend the procedure for most since it is very easy to break the ribbon cables or their connecting tabs. http://www.maytagpartsonline.com/modellookup/index/thirdstep/keyword/MMV1163DB/model_no/MMV1163DB00/model_id/351623/diagram_id/10797553 has the parts breakdown for the microwave. Check for the correct panel based on the exterior surface of your microwave. I hope this helps. Cindy Wells

I had this same problem with my Maytag Microwave. Unplug the unit and plug it back in. It fixed my issue.

HI, Maybe this will help. Here is a link to an explode view of your Microwave. There are other exploded views on the right-hand side of the page. http://www.appliancepartspros.com/02-body-cavity-parts-for-maytag-umv1152cas.html

Use kitchen timer not cooking timer, it's written on your oven timer pad. I did that before

inside the case

take the cabinet off and switch with the same type fuse

It could be the pads themselves. The touch pads are notorious for going bad. The light staying on could be a bad door switch. Check there first. There are three switches in the door interlock assembly. One of them could be causing the unit not to reset so it can cook.
