Whirlpool WML55011HS user manual

To pop popcorn in a Whirlpool microwave, follow these steps:
1. Place a microwave-safe bowl or a specialized microwave popcorn popper in the center of the microwave's turntable.
. Open the popcorn bag or container and pour the popcorn into the bowl or popper. Make sure to remove any unpopped kernels or debris.
3. Close the microwave door securely. Do not use the popcorn feature if the door is open or not properly closed.
4. Press the "Popcorn" or "Sensor Popcorn" button on the microwave control panel. If your Whirlpool microwave does not have a specific popcorn button, refer to step 6.
5. Select the desired cooking time or popcorn size, if prompted. Some Whirlpool microwaves have sensor technology that automatically detects and adjusts the cooking time based on the amount of popcorn in the microwave.
6. If there is no popcorn button, set the microwave to high power (usually, the default setting) and manually input the cooking time suggested on the popcorn packaging. It is generally recommended to start with a shorter time and adjust accordingly to avoid burning the popcorn.
7. Press the "Start" button to begin cooking.
8. Stay near the microwave and listen for the popping sound. Once the popping slows down to about 2 seconds between pops, or when there is a pause of more than 2 seconds, the popcorn is likely done.
9. Carefully remove the bowl or popper from the microwave using oven mitts or a towel as they may be hot.
10. Let the popped popcorn cool for a minute before opening the lid or covering to prevent steam burns.
11. Serve and enjoy your freshly popped popcorn!
Note: Always refer to the specific instructions on the popcorn packaging and follow the manufacturer's guidelines for your Whirlpool microwave model.

To reset your Whirlpool microwave, you can follow these steps:
1. Unplug the microwave from the power outlet.
. Leave it unplugged for about 1-2 minutes.
3. Plug the microwave back into the power outlet.
4. Check if the control panel display is blank or shows "0:00."
5. If it shows "0:00," the microwave has been successfully reset.
If your Whirlpool microwave has specific reset instructions mentioned in the user manual, it's recommended to refer to the manual for accurate and detailed steps.

There could be several reasons why your Whirlpool microwave display is not working. Some possible causes could include:
1. Power issue: Check if the microwave is properly plugged in and there is power supply to the unit. You can try plugging in another appliance to the same outlet to verify if there is power.
2. Fuse blown: Microwaves have internal fuses that can blow if there is a power surge or electrical issue. Check if the fuse has blown and replace it if necessary.
3. Faulty control board: The display may not be working due to a malfunctioning control board. This can happen due to electronic failures or other faults within the board. In such cases, it may be necessary to replace the control board.
4. Display panel malfunction: The display panel itself may be faulty or damaged, preventing it from functioning properly. In this case, replacing the display panel may be necessary.
5. Technical issue: There may be a technical issue with the microwave, such as loose connections or faulty wiring. It is recommended to consult a professional technician who can diagnose and repair the issue accurately.
If your Whirlpool microwave is still under warranty, it is advised to contact Whirlpool customer service or schedule a service appointment with an authorized technician to resolve the display issue.

There could be several reasons why your Whirlpool microwave is not heating. Here are some possible causes:
1. Power supply issues: Check if the microwave is properly plugged in and if there is power supply to the unit. Make sure the circuit breaker or fuse corresponding to the microwave is not tripped or blown.
2. Defective magnetron: The magnetron is the part of the microwave that generates heat. If it is malfunctioning or defective, the microwave will not heat. You may need to have the magnetron replaced by a professional technician.
3. Faulty high voltage diode: The high voltage diode converts the electrical current into higher voltage levels for the magnetron. If the diode is faulty, it can prevent the microwave from heating. A defective diode will need to be replaced.
4. Faulty high voltage capacitor: The high voltage capacitor stores electrical energy and supplies it to the magnetron. If the capacitor is defective, it may not provide the necessary voltage for heating. A professional technician will need to replace the faulty capacitor.
5. Door switch issues: The microwave is designed to turn off when the door is opened. If a door switch is faulty or misaligned, the microwave may not start heating. Check if the door is properly closed and the door switches are functioning correctly.
If none of these troubleshooting methods work, it is advisable to contact Whirlpool customer service or a qualified technician to diagnose and fix the issue.
