Kenmore Elite 83383 Convection Microwave Repair
Most common issues on this model
- Convection mode not browning or baking evenly
- Microwave heat working but convection heat weak
- Convection fan loud or not running
- Vent fan or light on the underside not working
The Kenmore Elite 83383 is a 1.8 cu. ft. over-the-range microwave with true convection baking, sensor cooking programs and a stainless steel finish. It mounts above a range, pulls cooking vapor through its vent and often replaces an older hood.
Elite is a Kenmore line, and the builder is not published for this model. The model prefix on the label names the manufacturer, and we confirm it with the serial before ordering. Convection heaters and fans are specific to the builder.
This model has two heating systems, so we test microwave power and convection separately. Weak convection sends us to the heater, thermal protector and fan. Loud fans get bearings checked. Vent and light problems are common on over-the-range units and are checked on their own. We quote in writing before work, and the repair carries a 30-day warranty.

The microwave heats but convection does not. Why?
They use different parts. Microwave heat uses the magnetron path, while convection uses a heater and fan. We test the heater, thermal protector and fan separately.
Do you remove the microwave from the wall?
Often, for a thorough repair. We plan the support and protect the range below, and we tell you before we begin.
Does sensor cooking affect service?
Yes. A sensor reads steam, so we check it and the control when results are uneven.
