Is paint inside microwave ovens safe?

As our young but expensive microwave has packed in, we have thought to replace it with a cheaper, throwaway one. We see that 'painted inside' appears as part of the description on many models and wonder if this can be a health hazzard, particularly in regard to allergies. We are thinking of purchasing the Sharp R26STM Solo Microwave Oven.

I have an ancient Sharp Carousel Alacard microwave. Part of the door seal has fallen off and broke into pieces when it hit the floor. Can we still get these parts or should I get a new microwave

Ancient is the key here, do you want to keep it sentimentally or build a new relationship with a new , young better model? The seal is essential to keep users safe from radiation....do not use if seal is damaged. Microwave is a klystron type transmitter used in radar. Have repaired and ck for escaping rf energy.if you go that route.I'd go new.

The microwave door switch broke and we are unable to open it. The inside plate continued to move very slowly around until we located and turned off the fuse. What should we do?

Honestly? Microwaves are not tremendously expensive, and they are dangerous if repaired improperly. You can get a service person to look at it, but I wouldn't unless they offered free estimates. If they can do it inexpensively, go that route. Otherwise replace the microwave. This is not a project for DIY if you have no experience in this area.

Replace outside glass

You have an expensive Monogram microwave so you can expect the parts to be expensive also. The outer glass assembly by itself ballpark cost is about $160 and requires a complete dis-assembly of the door to replace since the screws are all inside. Then if you go by the book--- the door should be checked for microwave leakage after the repair which requires a special test meter. They also sell a complete door assembly at around $300 that comes completely assembled. You need to compare that cost against the age of your microwave and possibly a new unit which I think is still available. Either way its not a cheap fix.

Our microwave is approx. 9 years old and has started to shut off after 6 seconds. It is a Panasonci Inverter (Lost book) Type S333 (F04114182CP) Is this repairable.

1) power to display- main fuse good
2) no power to magnetron- check all realated thermal switches hidden behind control panel. Remove top grill to find two hidden screws.

Is there a fuse or re set button on my neff combo micro wave, ive just cleaned it and now have no power to it, i have checked the fuse

ISOLATE THE MICROWAVE DO NOT OPEN AS YOU CAN RECEIVE A SHOCK FROM THE INTERNAL CIRCUITS.
Check the mains fuse in the plug, remove fuse and put into a working appliance, if it works. Buy a new microwave, as the internal circuit has a fault, and depending on model, the cost of repair is usually very expensive. Unless you have an appliance insurance. leave repairs of this type of appliance to the proffs.
Check the door is closing properly, as a switch is activated by the colsure of the door, some cheaper microwaves use plastic and this can fracture, causing the microwave to not work. The front display should light up regardless of the switch position. The fuse inside can be 10 to 15amp slow blow, if this is the case, scrap the appliance as it requires specialised equipment to fault find and carefull handeling discharging capacitors and so on. A reasonable level of knowledge of electronics is required. hope this is of assistance.

All funtions on oven r working ie lights fan and grill but wen on oven setting it will not get hot please help

Have you had any problems with your electricity "tripping" when the oven is in use? If so I would suggest that the oven element needs replacing or on rare occasions the emergency thermostat is faulty.
The oven element is generally found under a metal plate in the bottom of the oven( inside) and its terminals are found by taking the back off the oven.

The emergency thermostat is located in the rear of the oven and looks like an over sized watch battery on an oval mounting plate.

Neither of the parts is overly expensive and far cheaper than a new oven.

Hope this helps.

Microwave oven cuts out after pie inside catches fire.

When you mention the fuse, if you mean the one inside the microwave, then your magnetron is probably damaged and you should just get a new microwave.

If you're talking about the fuse in the electrical fusebox, then you could try opening the case of the microwave and finding the fuse inside. If you aren't familiar with working on HIGH VOLTAGE, then don't do this, take it to a service tech. But if it's out of warrenty and you are experience with working safely, you can look for a fuse inside the unit. As I said above, though if you do change it and the oven still won't work, your tube is probably dead and it's not worth the money to get a replacement part.

But again, I'll stress that the microwave has a HIGH VOLTAGE POWER SUPPLY inside, and if you aren't familiar with working on things like this then just take it to an appliance repair store.

As soon as you switch mains power on to oven the fan runs. The oven is a ZOB551X product no.949712893-01 . I have just changed the double grill element but when tightening the element retaining nuts broke the small temperature thermostat secured by tightening one of the nuts that hold the element in place. I have purchased a replacement and fitted it. When I switched the power back on the fan started running . I haven't set the clock or turned on any controls. Can you help please.
