About this model

Model overview

Where it fits

If your kitchen has no spare counter, an over-the-range microwave like the Kenmore 22-87062 earns its place. It is listed at 1.7 cu. ft. in the current Kenmore lineup, and it hangs above the stove in many San Francisco flats and condos. Our general page on Kenmore microwave repair explains the process; here we focus on this model.

Faults that show up above the stove

Because it shares space with cooking heat and grease, an over-the-range unit sees problems a countertop model never does. Grease can build up on the filters and slow the airflow, and heat from the burners below can stress the controls. Owners also tell us about turntables that wobble or stop, a door that needs a hard push to latch, and a keypad that misses presses.

Many owners first notice it when popcorn or leftovers take longer than they used to, which is a fair cue to look at the door and the filters before assuming the microwave circuit has failed. Door latch trouble matters because a microwave is designed not to run unless the door signals that it is shut. If the latch is worn, the unit may refuse to start even though it seems to close. We examine the latch and its switches together.

Checks you may do

Do not remove the outer cover. A microwave keeps stored energy even unplugged, and the cabinet above makes access awkward. Burning smell or sparking inside means stop and cut power at the breaker.

Ducting matters

Some over-the-range microwaves vent outside and others recirculate; either way, steam and cooking smoke pass through it. A fan that seems weak may be a clogged filter or a blocked duct run, and in older buildings the duct may share a long shaft with neighbors, so tell us what you know about it. On a visit we look at the filters, the lamp area and the fan before we turn to the cooking circuit. See also Kenmore range hood fan not working for related symptoms.
