see this causes and fix it. God bless you If the microwave will not work at all, make sure power is on at the
outlet and test the electrical cord. Test the fuse and replace it if it
is faulty. Also check the door to make sure it closes properly. Test
and, if needed, replace the fan.
If the oven doesn't cook or cooks only intermittently but the display
is on, check the door interlock switch, the thermal cutout , and the fan replacing parts that don't pass the test.
From your description you have a bad door switch, there are usually a few of them located inside the microwave under the keypad control board that will need a digital meter to trouble shoot.
As long and you have cross ventilation (not just under the unit) you will be fine. If you only use bottom vents then the unit will be in a hottor than normal environment than designed for.
BUT most people don't use their units to cook with - so if you use yours like I use mine, it shouldn't affect it that much.
You can tell if microwaves are being emitted if you get warm standing in front of it (seriously). But I wouldn't recommend that unless you want to cook yourself.
First thing that comes to mind is the door interlocks are out of adjustment or bad. Home microwave ovens are not supposed to operate like that. Some commercial models start the fan right away and run it after the cooking cycle is completed but I've never heard of a consumer model that does that.

Hello, is this a two electrical filament hot plate? Also, is this range
stove/oven? I'm a little confused here on what exactly what you are referring to
hot plate or cook stove with electrical burners and oven. If it a really old hot
plate with one burner look at the plug there could be a fuse in it. If it is
electrical range then check the control board and see they a fuse on. If not,
check the voltage with a volt meter. Be very careful here there two phase that
is 240 Volts AC. The voltage will be split between the two l20 hot legs AC which
is 120 degrees out of phase in respect to each other; in other words, don't both
of them don't let them touch each other.
If it a kitchen stove I'm fairly sure that the control board is shot and with
this not operating it will not open the current/voltage relays for the
electrical burners. REMEMBER YOU ARE DEALING WITH 240 VOLT AC...BE CAREFUL....

I had this exact same problem with my salton microwave! Even tried taking it back to the store, but with no reciept there was little they could do. Anyways try jiggling the clasps on the side of the the door, the ones that connect it to the microwave. Mind you don't jiggle too hard. Now firmly close the door, you should hear a distinct click. Now try it! The light only works when the microwave is on. The microwave won't work unless the door is closed properly and my problem was the claps were stuck! I hope this helps.
