What 1c82 means

Whirlpool built-in microwaves and microwave drawers, including the WMC50522AS, display 1c82 when the electronic oven control, or the wiring connected to it, reports a problem. The message identifies the control circuit as the area to check; it does not point to one failed part. You will see the code on the display, and the oven may not heat or accept commands normally while it is showing.

Common causes of 1c82

  • Electronic oven control reporting a problem
  • Connector or wire between the control and other oven parts
  • Brief power disturbance that restarting the oven clears
✓ One safe check you can try

1. Turn the circuit breaker for the microwave to off, then count out one minute. 2. Switch the breaker to on. 3. Observe the oven for one minute to see if 1c82 shows again. 4. If the display looks normal, check that the oven operates as expected.

! Why to stop there
  • When 1c82 returns, we check the control, its connectors and the wiring that feeds it
  • We test first and replace only what the test supports
  • Price in writing before work, and a 30-day workmanship warranty after
Opening a panel yourself does not automatically cancel a manufacturer warranty, but it can cause accidental damage, and some manufacturers set their own service conditions. Check your warranty terms, or ask us, before deciding.

1c821c82 questions
How do I clear 1c82 on my built-in microwave?

Turn the breaker off for one minute, switch it on, and watch the display for a minute. That is the manufacturer reset for this code. If it comes back, we test the control.

Could a power surge cause this code?

A power disturbance can trigger a control message that a restart clears. If the code keeps coming back, the control or its wiring needs testing rather than another reset.

Do you repair microwave drawers as well as over-the-range units?

We repair built-in microwaves and microwave drawers. Older models are common in Houston homes, and we say plainly when a repair is not worth it.
