E305075FPSA HighSpeed Eletrolux the door appears to not be closing tight.

The door appears to not be closing tight. When you use any fuction the steam from the food comes out between the door and the unit causing a great deal of condensation on the control panel. I believe the steam should come from the vents on the top. I just bought the house so I am not sure if this is normal. Is there a way to adjust the lock on the door? When the door is closed and latched you can pull teh door open about 1/8 inch or more.

No! this not normal, I'am concerned about microwave leakage, and a 1/8 gap is to much, should be tight against the seal "major safety factor" the door is out of alignment or the bottom latch is not secure "to much play" I recommend a pro simply because he needs test for leakage when the door is properly fixed.

SOURCE: After use, fan keeps running and control panel not working

Hi, this is a major chip fault. this chip is located on the control board and, it is responsible for initiating the cooking cycle correctly. you will need to replace the control board asap. it has failed.

SOURCE: Oven won't shut off

One of the door switches is defective, caused by a build up of food particles or normal ware, to correct this a professional will need to identify the problem and replace it.

How do I fix a microwave that counts down and does not turn on?

Appears to need a replacement door switch, might just be cheaper to get a new microwave if it is old.
They are made to close tightly and sealed so you are not exposed to microwaves. Not sure how safe you are overriding the microwave safety feature standing nest to it holding door.

Oven has power, but will not turn on

It sounds like the door is seriously out of alignment preventing the door latch from engaging properly. The hinges can be loosened and the door can be adjusted to some extent.

My micro-wave #WMH 2175XVS1 will not heat. All other fuction appear normal. Technician loked at it and said he needed to replace the transformer, magnatron, diode, capacitor. all cost more than a new unit....

I have a hard time believing that ALL the high-voltage parts would be bad at one time, especially the transformer. That's a part that almost never goes bad. I don't think I'd trust the tech's diagnosis.

However, a bad door switch will keep the oven from working properly, so the tech is right about the trouble being in the magnetron or its associated parts. This doesn't mean they are all bad, though. The most common failure is the magnetron itself, which can burn out like a light bulb. Then everything appears to work but there's no heat. I think the tech who looked at your oven may not have known how to check the individual parts, or didn't want to take the time to check, and just decided to tell you they were all bad. If they really are, it's certainly less expensive to buy a new oven.

The trouble could be in the control circuit board or connections to it, so it doesn't on the power to the magnetron power supply. I have seen bad solder connections and loose terminals cause no heating. You should have the oven checked over again by another technician who will actually checks voltages and test parts to determine what's wrong. It only takes a few minutes to do it right, and then you'll be able to make your decision to repair or replace the oven.

I have a GE microwave with the message sensor error

Hi,
On GE models, "SENSOR ERROR" appears on the display when:
  • Using the sensor feature, the door was opened before steam could be detected. Do not open the door until stream is sensed and time is shown counting down on the display.
  • Steam was not detected in the macimum amount of time. Use Time Cook to heat for more time.
Thanks.

Microwave runs but does not heat food either with sensor or manual timing. Occasionall will displasy 'SENSOR ERROR'. Have closed door and pressed CLEAR/OFF per manual instructions, but still does not...

The first thing I would suggest is a hard reset. Unplug the unit for a minute or so. Then plug it back in, set the clock and try again.

If that doesn't work, leave it unplugged for maybe an hour.

Then let us know if the hard reset does not fix it.

INFO: On GE models, "SENSOR ERROR" appears on the display when:
  • Using the sensor feature, the door was opened before steam could be detected. Do not open the door until stream is sensed and time is shown counting down on the display.
  • Steam was not detected in the maximum amount of time. Use Time Cook to heat for more time.
If the reset didn't fix it:

When you hit Start to cook, do the inside light and turntable come on?

Any unusual noises?

Is it louder or quieter than usual?

Do you have the model number?

These answers will help me judge whether it's in the high voltage section (magnetron, transformer, or diode) or the control section (door switch or control board relay or connection).

Door Window steams up on Microwave

Is the internal cooling fan running? You should feel air flow from the grille in the front or back (as the case may be).

If it's just steaming up the inner face of the door, that's fairly normal, but if the steam is appearing inside the layers of the door, that is not normal.

Since it's new and you've got a warranty, I would call Emerson.
