Is there a reset button anywhere on this model microwave

Safety system locking out the start switch. Door not closed, mode and timer not set etc.

Microwaves don't have a reset button. Try unplugging for 5 minutes

There could be a connection problem in the electrical outlet the microwave is plugged into or anywhere in that circuit all the way back to your electric breaker panel. It sounds like the microwave is losing power and resetting. WARNING: Any type of electrical work should only be completed by persons qualified to do so.

Having same problem. Ordered and replaced control board/keypad assembly, and still doing the same thing.

Hi,

Press the "Off/Clear' button to cancel anything on the display, and reset the microwave. This is a soft reset and will simply get you out of any program you have started. Press it when the cooking complete reminder appears on the display.
Perform a hard reset. Pull the plug out of the wall power supply, and wait a moment. Plug the microwave back into the wall power supply to reset any anomalies with the microwave's memory. You will need to reset the time of day if you perform a hard reset.
Reset the time of day. Press the "Clock" button, and turn the dial to set the hours. Press the dial to enter. Follow the same procedure for the minutes and a.m. or p.m. Press the "Start" button to start the clock. This should help fix the problem.

In all likelihood the mangnetron has failed, or perhaps even the Power Supply. or a fault that is shutting the system down for safety reasons You need to have it serviced by a reputable service centre/man. Ensure you get a firm "Quote" before proceeding, and remember these days the cost of repair can equal or exceed the price of a new one.

I don't know of a reset button but there is a fuse that you have to remove the outer cover to get to that has a habit of blowing

I haven't worked on one of these old models for many many years, but I do remember that when this happens, they need to have their electrolytic capacitors replaced.

Chances are the control boards are no longer available for purchase, but we repair them for customers nationwide.

Feel free to contact me directly (and please remind me of your full model number) for more information & help.
