We have a Sanyo Super Showerwave Microwave model EM-P790. Currently any time we open the door the microwave starts running. Is there a fix for this??? Or is it time to replace???
This is probably a a bad door switch or door switch mount. Chances are only the fan and light are running when you open it, but better safe than sorry.
Opening the door while cooking (without first hitting the STOP pad) is the primary cause of door switch failure but not the only one.
I have a text file called "doorsw.txt" which helps in diagnosing and repairing door switch problems, and a file called "safety.txt" which is of vital importance.
You can find these files by searching at Yahoo.com (not Google) for this:
microwave display safety.txt
If you still have a problem, please write back with more detail. Be safe!

I cooked something in the microwave, then my brother went to cook something for a minute. It finished cooking, then the screen showed "-F6-" before he took out what he was cooking. We took out his food, but no matter what we pressed, it beeps and shows "-F6-" on the display. We unplugged the microwave and plugged it back in, and nothing changed.
