FMOS1846BS
Frigidaire FMOS1846BS Over-the-Range Microwave Repair
Most common issues on this model
- Airflow that feels weak because a filter is loaded
- Cooking cycles that end with cold food
- Fan that rattles or runs only on one speed
- Door latch that keeps the unit from starting
Here is a stainless steel Frigidaire over-the-range microwave with about 1.8 cu. ft. inside, a PureAir microwave filter and built-in ventilation. The FMOS1846BS is still a current model, so parts are generally easier to find than for a unit that has been retired.
A microwave over the stove has to handle cooking steam and grease, and that is where we usually start. The PureAir filter and the grease screens affect how well the fan pulls, so we look at them before blaming the motor. If food is not heating, we shift to the door switches and the high-voltage parts after unplugging the unit. A rattle usually leads us to the fan wheel or a loose mounting screw.
A quick look at the vent path often explains a complaint. The label on the cabinet gives us the model and serial we need before ordering. Our price is written and approved before work starts, and the repair is covered for 30 days.

How often should the PureAir filter be changed?
That depends on how much you cook. We cannot give a fixed interval for this model, but a filter that looks dark or restricts air flow is due. We check it on every vent visit and tell you what we see.
Why does the vent on my FMOS1846BS sound louder than it used to?
Grease on the fan wheel throws it off balance, and a loose mount can add vibration. We clean what we can reach, tighten the mounting and then test the motor if the noise remains.
Is this microwave worth repairing now?
Since it is a current model, parts are usually available, and a switch or a fan motor is often worth fixing. If the problem is expensive relative to the unit, we say so before you decide.
