Kenmore 36362702200 microwave Parts

Yes. On Kenmore microwave/hood combo model 36362702200, the most reliable “reset” is a power reset: unplug the microwave (or switch the circuit breaker off), wait about 1 minute, then restore power. If the display shows “LOC”, that is the control lock, not a fault; press and hold STOP/CLEAR for about 3 seconds to unlock.

Quick reset options (what to try first)

• Control lock reset (LOC on display): Press and hold STOP/CLEAR for about 3 seconds.
• Power reset (after a surge or glitch): Unplug for 1 minute, then plug back in.
• Breaker reset: If the unit is dead, reset the circuit breaker (or replace a blown house fuse).
• Outlet check: Make sure the 3-prong plug is fully seated in the wall outlet.

What “reset” fixes (and what it does not)

A reset helps when the control is locked, the keypad is unresponsive, or the microwave will not start after a power interruption. It does not fix failed door interlock parts, heating failures, or internal electrical problems.

Symptom	Most likely “reset” to try	Next step if it returns
“LOC” on display	Hold STOP/CLEAR 3 seconds	Review lockout steps in the 36362702200 owner's manual
No response at all	Breaker or unplug reset	Check outlet and house power
Won’t start but has power	Unplug reset	Inspect door latch and interlock switches

When a reset is not enough (common part-related causes)

If the microwave has power but will not run, the door interlock system is a common culprit. These parts are listed for this model and are often involved in “won’t start” complaints:

• Micro-switch WB24X830 (door interlock switch)
• Switch-micro WB24X829 (interlock switch)
• Microwave door interlock switch lever WB06X10128 (lever that actuates the switches)

Why it matters

Using the correct reset prevents unnecessary part replacement. For example, “LOC” simply means the control panel is locked, and unlocking it restores normal operation immediately.

In your Kenmore microwave/hood combo model 36362702200, the internal fuse is typically located behind the top grille and control area, near where the power cord enters and the line fuse holder sits on the wiring. Use the 36362702200 owner's manual for the correct access steps and safety notes.

Before you access the fuse (important safety)

Microwaves store high voltage even when unplugged; we treat internal electrical checks as a high-risk repair.

• Unplug the microwave (do not rely on the door switch).
• Turn off the dedicated 15 to 20 amp circuit at the breaker as an extra precaution.
• Do not use an extension cord; this model is designed for a dedicated outlet.
• If you remove the outer cover, avoid touching any high-voltage components.
• If you see burned wiring, melted connectors, or arcing marks, stop and correct the root cause before replacing parts.

Common access location on over-the-range units

On most Kenmore over-the-range microwave/hood combos, the fuse is accessed from the top front area:

1. Remove the top grille (usually held by screws across the top).
2. With the grille off, access the control panel area.
3. The line fuse is commonly in a small fuse holder on the incoming power line.

If the unit is completely dead (no display, no interior light), the line fuse is the first internal fuse to check.

What symptoms point to a blown fuse vs. a door switch

Symptom	More likely cause	Notes
No display, no lights, no response	Blown line fuse or no power supply	Also check house fuse or breaker first
Runs but does not heat	High-voltage circuit issue	See why is my microwave not heating
Starts only when door is held a certain way	Door interlock switch/lever issue	Interlock problems can also blow the fuse

Parts that commonly relate to “dead microwave” or door-interlock issues

If testing shows the fuse blew because of an interlock problem, these model-compatible parts are commonly involved:

• Micro-switch WB24X830 (door interlock switch)
• Switch-micro WB24X829 (interlock switch)
• Microwave door interlock switch lever WB06X10128 (switch actuator/lever)

For ordering, use the parts list for model 36362702200 on this page, or search by model number on Sears PartsDirect.

Why it matters

Replacing a fuse without fixing the underlying cause (door switch misalignment, shorted wiring, or a failing component) often leads to another blown fuse. A quick visual inspection plus proper electrical testing prevents repeat failures.

For Kenmore microwave/hood combo model 36362702200, you change the over-the-stove (cooktop) light by shutting off power, removing the top grille and light cover screw, then gently twisting out the old bulb and installing a 40-watt incandescent bulb such as microwave light bulb WB36X10003. Follow the steps in the owner's manual for the exact screw locations.

Safety first (do this before touching anything)

• Turn off power at the breaker or unplug the microwave.
• Let the bulb cool completely before handling.
• Use a soft cloth or gloves to avoid burning your fingers and to keep oils off the bulb.
• Do not overtighten screws when reinstalling the cover and grille.

Steps to replace the cooktop (surface) light

1. Disconnect power at the main fuse/circuit breaker (or unplug).
2. Remove the top grille by taking out the 2 screws holding it in place.
3. Remove the light cover screw and lower the cover.
4. Gently twist the bulb to break the adhesive seal, then remove it.
5. Install the new bulb and reassemble in reverse order.
6. Restore power and test the Surface light button (high, low, off).

What bulb do I need?

Your 36362702200 uses a 40-watt incandescent bulb for the cooktop light.

Light location	Typical bulb type	Notes
Cooktop (surface) light	40-watt incandescent	Used for lighting the range below
Oven/cavity light	40-watt incandescent	Access is different; see manual

Why it matters

Using the correct wattage helps prevent excess heat in the light housing and keeps the lens, socket, and wiring from overheating.

To unlock the controls on your Kenmore microwave/hood combo model 36362702200, press and hold STOP/CLEAR for about 3 seconds until “LOC” disappears from the display. This turns off the child lock-out (control lock) feature. See the steps in the 36362702200 owner's manual.

Quick unlock steps (control lock)

• Make sure the microwave is plugged in and the display is on.
• Locate the STOP/CLEAR key on the touch control panel.
• Press and hold STOP/CLEAR for about 3 seconds.
• Watch the display; when locked, “LOC” shows at the far right.
• Release the button when “LOC” clears.
• Test by pressing COOK TIME or START/PAUSE.

If “LOC” will not clear

These checks fix the most common “stuck lock” situations on over-the-range microwaves:

• Press and hold longer: hold STOP/CLEAR for a full 5 seconds.
• Close the door firmly: the door must latch securely for normal operation.
• Power reset: unplug for 60 seconds, then plug back in and try again.
• Check for a door-interlock issue: if the door does not “click” closed, the interlock system may not be switching correctly.

Parts that commonly relate to door-latch and interlock symptoms

If the microwave acts like the door is not closing correctly (or behaves inconsistently), these model-compatible parts are often involved:

Symptom you notice	Common area to inspect	Example part for this model
“LOC” clears but unit will not start	Door interlock switch	Micro-switch WB24X830
Door feels loose or does not latch crisply	Interlock lever/latch mechanism	Microwave door interlock switch lever WB06X10128
Intermittent start, random stopping	Secondary interlock switch	Switch-micro WB24X829

Why it matters

When the control panel is locked, the microwave can look “dead” even though it has power. Unlocking restores normal keypad operation and helps you avoid unnecessary part replacement or troubleshooting.
