Sorry to read about your problem, I hope this helps you out.

You may have a defective, keypad issue, or even a defective defective control board.

Careless troubleshooting of a microwave oven can result in death or worse. Experienced technicians have met their maker as a result of a momentary lapse of judgement while testing an oven with the cover removed. Microwave ovens are without a doubt, the most deadly type of consumer electronic equipment in wide spread use.

The power supplies for even the smallest microwave ovens operate at extremely lethal voltage and current levels. Do not attempt to troubleshoot, repair, or modify such equipment without understanding and following ALL of the relevant safety guidelines for high voltage and/or line connected electrical and electronic systems.

See if this describes what's happening:

Put in time, push start and unit runs for 2 seconds, relay clicks, unit goes off. Cook time on display goes off and clock time comes back. Bad upper interlock switch and charred connector

If so, see http://207.234.249.73/mwd/safety.txt http://207.234.249.73/mwd/disassembly.txt http://207.234.249.73/mwd/doorsw.txt

Otherwise, if the digital programmer circuit / controller does not get a feedback signal from the inverter for a period of 3 seconds, the controller will stop the cook cycle.

It may be a loose connection in the wiring between the inverter, magnetron, and/or control board, or maybe one of those components has failed.

Due to the lethal voltages used and produced in inverters, I do not recommend that an inexperienced person work on these.

You need to hit clear or maybe clock. I believe on this model you need to set clock before you can do anything

We changed the cooktop bulb and now nothing works. When you push the light button the light inside the microwave turns on. If you set the cook time the time counts down but nothing runs.

Check the door interlock switches. They will keep the unit from starting but you will have power everywhere else. If this is helpful, Please leave positive feedback. Thanks, SnugglePants

To enter the time you must push the clock button once before you enter the time and again after you enter the numbers. Try that and you should be all set.
