Most likely the power supply has to be replaced; but it could be the safety switch too. Do you have any experience or knowledge in using meters and troubleshooting electronics? If not and you want to repair the microwave- send it out to a qualified/ certified microwave repair shop. Or else buy a new one. Best regards ~
Most likely door switches. Companies these days use switches with small 3/16 terminals and they tend to get hot and make the switch go bad. When I replace them I put in a 20 amp rated switch with 1/4 inch terminals, and a short section of better wire to the switch. If you make better connections it stops the wires from getting hot and the switch will last a long time.
Mine burned out within a month. Probably due to the poor design of the machine which forces you to slam the door to get it to shut.
My biggest concern is the under counter lightbulbs it has burned out in my kitchen over the last year. I wonder how much leaking this thing really gives off. Moving in a few weeks and will be throwing this cancer machine out.
One thing worth checking is the doors safety switch as sometimes they become misaligned and although the buttons and the display works the oven will not.
Please remember that electrical appliances can be very dangerous to work on and you should really have them repaired by a professional as they can cause serious harm and or death.
Microwaves have hi voltage capacitors that can store electricity for hours, days and weeks so just because they are not plugged in doesn't mean they are safe.
A repair person would remove the ovens case and and locate the door safety switch which will be where the 2 prongs from the door enter the oven body.
They would then realign the switch to make sure it is being engaged when the door closes.
The switch can be bypassed but this is not a good idea as the oven will operate even when the door is open which is a really bad idea.
You will want to replace the fuse and door switches. You will not be able to run it without replacing door switches. You do not need a new microwave. Door switches go bad, it has nothing to do with radiation.
Usually, when your microwave oven doesn't work it all, the internal fuse (thermal fuse) is blown. This fuse protects both you and the oven. When it blows, you need to have a qualified appliance repair technician replace it.
Door switch If the fuse isn't the problem, check the door hooks and the door-release button. When these are broken, the door switch doesn't activate, so the oven can't work. Good luck and kind regards. Thank you for using FixYa.
