Whirlpool Microwave/Oven Combo unit: WOC95EC0AS00
Purchased new, installed in Dec 2012.
I have one of these microwave/oven combo units and found a Tech Sheet on the side of the oven, BTW. Found an old thread here: https://www.applianceblog.com/mainforums/threads/f1e5-fault-code-need-part-number.39955/
I am experiencing some issues with the microwave (even after a power cycle to clear the fault):
1. The glass turntable stops rotating after about a quarter turn, and then the microwave stops with an F1E5 error. Needs a power cycle to clear.
2. The right door switch is very hard to push in (unlike the left door switch) - not much of a click. I think I need to replace the switch and/or the holder and/or the rod connected to it.
My comments and asks:
1. The tech sheet does not describe the F1E5 error at all! When looking at the "Mv Faults" in the Diagnostics, this gives a display of "1-Inverter Fe" without much else. Is this pointing to the same Inverter failure mentioned in the older thread as the source of the problem?
2. The unit is heavy and I am concerned about pulling it out from the cabinet without help - did a partial pull and it started tipping forward, of course! Is there any way to access/replace the right door switch from the front of the unit without pulling the entire thing out of the cabinet?
I suspect I will have no choice but to pull it out to replace the inverter but was hoping to at least get the switch replaced first ...
Thanks in advance!!
