QuestionThe light that illuminates the stove won't turn off. How can I fix this?
Asked 7 years ago by Ellen.
- Answer That may be a defect with the switch. Ours has no problem. Maybe you should have an electrician look at it or take it to the Geek squad.

QuestionWhat is the minimum distance between the cooktop and bottom of the microwave?the standard mounting height of 66” And the 30” space from cooktop to mounting cabinet.leaves about 13 1/2 inches between cooktop and microwave bottom.
Asked 8 years ago by Asoding.
- Answer My unit is about 19" above the stove top. In my opinion it is individual preterence, as well as the overall height of the people using it... I had to have the cabinets above the unit cut down to get the 19" above the stove, to me, around 19 to 20 inches above the stove is the perfect distance. As I said though, it depends on how tall you are... meaning if you are 4 foot 10 inches tall, you might need a step stool. 13.5" above the stove is too close to the range, the filter could get gunked up being that close.

Asked 6 years ago by Lighting.
This question was asked about the related product: Whirlpool - 1.9 Cu. Ft. Over-the-Range Microwave with Sensor Cooking - Black Stainless Steel
- Answer I felt the same way after having mine installed. I bought the newest version of the microwave I had previously, which had 2 lights on it . One to the right and one to left. This model is in the middle but close to the wall. I would check with the Geek squad. I have actually gotten used to it Good Luck!

QuestionI have a Whirlpool 30in 1.7 cu ft Over-the-Range Microwave - Fingerprint Resistant Stainless Steel My problem.................if the fan automatically starts up on its own, how do I shut it off, it's so annoying and loud. Thank you
Asked 7 years ago by sheabird.
- Answer Hi sheabird, on this Whirlpool - 1.7 Cu. Ft. Over-the-Range Microwave, the settings for the vent fan can be changed. They can be changed using the settings for High (“SPd2”), low (“SPd1”) and off. However, the Vent fan comes on automatically as cooling fan during any cook function. Thank you for your question!

- Answer I bought a new one 7 years after this post and still no grill at the top front of the microwave! I thought I left the part in the package and looked up for it all over the place. It's a big house things can fall into it on the top shelf. Hello whirlpool designers pay attention to the feedback
