Burning smell and light switch does not work

Light bulbs underneath micorwave went out. I replaced bulbs and noticed a burning smell and the lights were flickering a little bit. i also noticed the Light on/night/off switch does not work. The lights stay on all the time. The burning smell went away when I removed the light bulbs. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks, Tech1

The controller needs to be repaired. We regularly repair these control board assemblies for only $32.50 nationwide, and that's much cheaper than replacing the board. For safety, disassembly and other info see http://tinyurl.com/yzjozk

I have replaced the surface light on my KHMS2050SSS-0 microwave/hood several times. The light bulbs keep burning out shortly after replacement. Why are the light bulbs to burning out so frequently?
if this is a standard edison base bulb try this fix. make sure power is off to oven, remove bulb, find the small tang in the base that contacts the bulbs center base and using needle nose pliers bend it up slightly, install new bulb. let us know how this works for you:)

You know how when you turn on a regular light bulb and it burns out with a bright flash? What happens is that when the filament burns out, it breaks and bounces back and hits the other electrical post and basically shorts out causing that bright flash. Sometimes, when 1 of the light bulbs in the microwave burned out, it shorted out, and caused the circuit-board trace to burn up. (This is not just conjecture; I've seen it.) If that's the case, then you would have to replace the main control circuit board. A rather expensive repair for no lights. BUT BEFORE YOU DO THAT, get an ohmmeter and check your new light light bulbs and make sure they are really good. Also, if you can, get a bright flashlight and check the light bulb sockets in the microwave (unplug it first). Check for possible corrosion or signs of arcing on the center electrode of the socket. If that's the problem, you might be able to use a small screwdriver to scrape off the corrosion of the socket (make absolutely sure you have your microwave oven unplugged before you do that!).

I have a GE Profile over range microwave, and last night it stopped heating efficiently, then a burning smell and now no power. No lights, no nothing.
First check your electrical panel breaker before calling for service.

I open the door to the refeg and it smells like wires are burning. I unplugged it. The lighting fixture is loose. The plastic around the light is defected.
A loose connecction of the bulb holder can heat up and burn the holder plastic material -- as a faulty connection will spark and heat up. The best option is to remove the holder , rewire and replace the unit.

Have ge profile spacesaver xl sensor. will not heat strange buzzing sound and burning smell. clock, light, vent still work
This is most likely a defective magnetron, especially with the burning smell. There are two other parts that can be a problem, the high voltage capacitor and diode, all three work together to heat food. If the magnetron is the culprit, probably cheaper to replace the microwave oven.

The relay for the lights is not working. No board level repairs. You will have to replace the control board to get this feature back.

Night Light on Microwave Oven
We see (and repair) this a lot. The problem is on the control panel, which we regularly repair nationwide by mail for $39.95 postpaid in about a week.

This light failure often occurs when a bulb goes out and the filament shorts, or when the bulbs are removed or installed without first unplugging the oven from the power line. Either can cause such a failure on the controller.

This can often also affect the exhaust fan operation, too. The lights and fan can be inoperable or stuck on too.

Details of our service and critical safety information and disassembly information is at our site, and our link is at our listing here on FixYa.

Feel free to contact me directly for more information & help.

We're happy to help you with free advice and we'd appreciate your thoughtful rating of our answer.

Burning odor, no heat
A burning smell along with a different sound (growl) USUALLY indicates a breakdown in the High Voltage Side. This is not a direct short (short circuit) or the line fuse would have blown shutting everything down. The High Voltage Side is made up of-- The Secondary ,or High Voltage Side of The High Voltage Transformer, A High Voltage Diode, A High Voltage Capacitor, and The Magnetron. If The High Voltage Transformer is the problem it will smell like a florescent light ballast burning, and will smell each time you turn on the MW. A HV Diode burns and opens, thus no more smell. A HV Capacitor usually does not burn nor does the Magnetron. There is no Cheap-Fix unless you can see that the HV Diode is burned into and you can get to it to replace. CAUTION: Always unplug from power before attempting to repair. NOTE: If you replace a Diode make sure it goes back in the same direction it came out. Yes there is a front and back.

I have a turbo chef NGO. Today during warm up it blew both 12 amp fuse on the F1 and F2 circuit. Is this a typical issue? I replaced the F1 fuse, plugged the oven back in and it did not restore power but it didn't blow the fuse again. I replaced the F2 fuse and it blew both fuses immediately upon plugging the oven back in. The oven was working properly until this happened.

NEFF C57M70N3GB Microwave combination oven Keeps turning off after 23 seconds The microwave was part of a second hand kitchen which we've had for 6 months and all was working until yesterday. Whichever mode or time setting you put it into, the microwave turns itself off after 23 seconds. Resetting temperature, time, mode etc; and press start, it turns off after 23seconds each time. If anyone can throw any light onto the reason it does this i would be very grateful. It matches the lower oven and i cannot get a matching replacement. Many thanks Jeff
