20 Most Recent Daewoo KOR-63DB Microwave Oven Questions & Answers

it sounds like your mag inside is gone,the replacement isn't worth it,replace microwave, in cost,like $40.00 now for new one

Hi there,
The flash and the pop that happened on your microwave has blowned the thermal fuse or the power diode. Now I strongly suggest that you don't try replacing it on your own because even an unplugged (open) microwave can seriously injure someone because of the high voltage capacitor inside (you could get electrocuted).
However if you are hearing a buzz and it doesn't heat then another point of failure could be the magnetron or the diode itself needs to be replaced.
Since it's just 6 months since you bought it, initial warranties for appliances are usually good for 1 year so I would rather have you bring it back to the store where you purchased it (together with the receipt) have them send it for repairs or replace the unit for you.
Next time try using a UPS or make sure that the unit is turned off before plugging it into a power outlet.
Hope this helps!

It sounds like the magnetron may have either failed or is not being supplied with the extremely high voltage required to run it.

YOUR SAFETY IS PARAMOUNT

This is a job for a professional but if you are safety clued up, here's instruction.
Make sure the !!!!capacitor is discharged!!!!! before attempting any sort of repair.
Check the door interlock switches first then the high voltage diode with either an AVO model 8 or moving coil meter on high resistance range for short circuit, (DVM's won't show the fault!), the capacitor can fail and go short circuit, the feed fuse on the primary of the high voltage transformer and then finally, the magnetron is best checked by substitution.
Hope that helps.

THERE IS SPECIAL MWAVE CAVITY SPRAY .MAKE SURE YOU SANDPAPER IT THEN USE NORMAL PRIMA ALLOW TO DRY USE FINE SANDPAPER JUST TO MAKE SURFACE RIGID THE SPRAY

If it's still under the 12-month warranty, I'd contact Daewoo customer service: http://www.e-daewoo.com/customer_service.asp

Even if it's not they may be able to help you. That page also has a link to help you find a local authorized servicer and download the owner's manual if you don't have yours.

I'd say you have a bad membrane keypad.

Take it to a Daewoo Service Centre, and they can get parts and you don't really want to be messing inside a Microwave.. In normal circumstances, with a cheap make like Daewoo, you just replace them, but get a quote.

take outer case off and find the light .

try putting 90 in the time that should be 1 1/2 hours

Check the rear for a screw cap fuse. If there isn't one, you need a Daewoo service centre.

The voltages inside a microwave oven are very dangerous, potentially fatal, so clearly the testing and repair need specialist experience and test equipment... Anyone needing to ask the question clearly should contact their local repair shop.

The key pad assembly is faulty as the carbon contacts get disconnected,the only remedy is the replacement of touch key pad.

Does it have a turn table that spins your food container? If so, does it turn? If not, you are getting a solid directed beam of microwaves focused on one part of your food leaving the rest of it ignored. If it doesn't have a turn table, it will have a wave spreader inside which is nothing more than an aluminum fan that is sometimes driven by a small motor and rubber belt. You won't see this as it is inside the chamber that contains the magnetron that generates the microwaves. These belts can break allowing a solid, focused microwave beam to shine on your food rather than be distributed around the oven, again, leaving the rest unwarmed. If this is the case, using the oven can damage it over time. If you don't know what you are doing, DO NOT try to repair it yourself!!! If you don't get the outer casing back together properly, you can expose yourself and / or your family to dangerous amounts of microwave radiation. You should take it to a qualified service center for repair but I would venture a guess that it is already damaged because of your statement "but getting increasingly unreliable". Even if it isn't damaged, it will probably cost you more in labor to fix it than it would cost to replace it. Good luck.
