Sharp Carousel Microwave R-1460A was having problems when shut, it would seem to "run" (no turn table movement) until you wiggled the door it would stop, as if it was not aligning correctly. After a few weeks of that,I was heating coffee and heard a pop like a fuse. Now there is now power to the unit, no lights, nothing. The outlet works fine with other appliances. Can I somehow just replace an inexpensive fuse and/or door switch, or do I need a new oven? Is this safe to run with the switch like this or is it leaking radiation? Thanks.

For the smell, do a Google search for "smell microwave" or "odor microwave" for many great tips.

I have the same problem with my Sharp R-1460 microwave. I am pretty sure it is the door switch because when I push on the door, I cane get the unit to work. I now need to decide if is worth replacing the door switch of just getting a new (and better) oven. BGS
Where is the fuse located on this unit as mine has stopped working all together even though the outlet is good.
