Whirlpool Microwave: Whirlpool display is dim from bad capacitors?

Thu, 19 Feb 2026 09:48:11 -0700

I have a Whirlpool MH1160XSQ-4 over the range microwave, and would like to replace any capacitors that might be causing the dimness. I just don't know how to find which caps are for the display on the board. The attached picture is of my board.

Whirlpool Microwave: Microwave oven no power at all, but next day it works normally

No light, no control panel, no spinning ... nothing ! Like it was unplugged. Next day is working normally, and then stops again.
Fuse , thermostat, door switches checked and are OK. Capacitor and magnetron was not checked, but on the days it works it heats up the food normally.
Any idea ?
