Question about Sharp R-1480 Microwave Oven
Will need to push door/apply pressure to door....then light and fan will go off...sometimes closing door 'harder' will avoid problem......
This
is usually caused by either a bad door switch or a loose door switch
mount (which are pretty simple problems to fix).
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
