I bought a Danby Microwave 2 year ago and how it is RUSTING or burnt as Plastic is crack and flaky around top inside edges. How dangerous is this to your health.

Check with the manufacturer of unit directly to see what they can or will do for you. If cosmetics are not covered under the warranty you may be out of luck. But as you say it is less than a year old and have your receipt handy .................

Performance is not affected. Relax.

replace microwave

Hi, I have a jvm1631 modle that looks like yours,on mine you need to remove the grill on top and then you should have a screw above clock,remove screw and lift up and the whole assemby will pop off.Then you will see tabs all around edge that you psuh in to remove plastic cover then you can unplug all wire harnesses and replace keypad. Just remember to unplug M/W first.Hope this helps.

hey i have the same problem. how log does it do it, how many beeps and how quicky. We have a danby also the 1.1 bought it about 3 years ago.

This is usually caused by either a bad door switch or a loose door switch mount, which are pretty simple problems to fix.

Even though a door switch clicks, it may still be bad inside.

Door switch or mount trouble is usually caused by slamming the door or by opening the door while it's cooking without hitting the Stop pad first.

There are plastic mounts inside the microwave which hold the door switches and onto which the door latches lock when you close the door.

The screws on these mounts may be loose. If they get too loose, the switches will not be activated properly.

Sometimes it's a broken tab on the switch holder, allowing the switch to rotate just out of position. This tab can be hard to see, since it is under the bottom edge of the switch.

If you or someone you know decide to look into it, we have critical information on safety, disassembly and door switches at our site, and our link is at our listing here on FixYa:.

If you only need a switch, you can order a universal type here for $5 postpaid.

this is the magnetron going bad and it is heating the outside and the inside(probably not so much on the inside right?) Well this is DANGEROUS now and i would no longer use it , as it is sending waves out and thats why it is getting hot , it will need professional service as microwaves are extreemly dangerous

you are not supposed to have any metal in the microwaves for cooking something , as why the other two quit , that is probably why they quit so soon
there is some more exspensive microwaves that can work even when metal is used inside( but these are special types of microwves)

What would cause the plastic turn table shaft plate holder in the center to ignite

A microwave needs all those surfaces to be fully reflective. those scorch marks greatly affect the magnetron. it will soon burn out . reccommend a new microwave.
