Question about Sharp R-1480 Microwave Oven
Need to get an owner's manual for a sharp microwave R1480
SOURCE: Sharp R1480 OTR microwave night and work light won't turn on
Check you are getting 115 V with the bulb in circuit (safest way to test this is to solder a couple of bits of wire to one of the bulbs so you can access the terminals with the bulb inline (be careful), and then measure voltage across it.) The load imposed by the bulb may be causing the power supply to go into a protection mode - usually only if bulb is shorting, but may be a problem with the power relay. If there is a problem with the power supply, through the control board relay or otherwise, this will tell you for sure. Otherwise, if there is definitely the right voltage to a good bulb, then it will light. Check that the bulb is definitely making contact well, and make absolutely sure you have the correct bulbs for 115v, not the 220/240v ones. If this gives you no luck then please ask again with details of what you found. Hope this helps :)

You can contact Sharp at 1-800-BE-SHARP (1-800-237-4277) or visit them online.
They should be able to tell you what current model is comparable to yours.

Very much so.
If
you gently push up on the door latches (hook-like devices on the door)
there should be spring tension. If they just flop right up, the spring
is off inside.
Normally the problem is
not the spring, but a broken
spring mounting tab on the door latch head (hook) assembly or the inner
door panel.
If it's the door panel,
it's usually easier and cheaper to use epoxy and some kind of hardware
to fashion a new spring mount.
The door latch head
(hook) is easy to replace or repair if that's the issue.
Normally
you have to separate the door panels (as shown in the attached photo)
and then you'll see the screws you need to remove.
We have
the service manual for this model and have uploaded it to our
site here to help you.
You will need the free
Acrobat Reader
to view or print it in case you don't have it.
The best place to order
Sharp parts is Tritronics. Or you can call them at 866-779-5835.
We're
happy to help you with free advice and we'd appreciate your
thoughtful rating of our answer.
Or you can watch a YouTube video (not a video I made) here that
demonstrates how it's done.
