Question about Dacor DCM24SS Convection Microwave Oven

No power Dacor DCM24SS

Worked fine for 1 year. Started shutting off 2 days ago, now i have no power whatsoever. Plugged it in another plug and still no power.

Thank you for the response.

The microwave would operate for a few secs and then it would go completely dead (no display, beeps, etc.)

After that incident it came on (on its own). I tried to use it and it went completely dead again. Since then it hasnt worked.

I do a lot of work on Dacors / Sharps. Can you describe what you mean by "shutting off"? When it was shutting off before, was it completely dead with no display and no beeps? Was iut shutting off during a cook cycle or just while setting there or what? When it would come back on or start working again, how long did it take to come back, or how did you make it come back on?

This is tricky to diagnose remotely.

It could be a failing magnetron thermostat or thermal on the magnetron or the magnetron itself.

It could be the control panel, which we repair nationwide for $39.95.

If you or a friend decide to work on it, we have *critical* safety & disassembly info at our site, which is linked at our listing here on FixYa:http://tinyurl.com/yzjozk

You can find helpful exploded view diagrams here:http://www.apdepot.com/PartsLookup/Looku...

It's easier and cheaper to get the original Sharp part instead of the Dacor part.

Once you loof all this over, feel free to contact me if you need more help. Be safe!

Interlock switchIf your microwave is turning itself on, the first thing to check is the interlock switch. This is usually the first thing to malfunction that could cause this issue. If the interlock switch is bad then it will need to be replaced.
Main control boardIf your microwave is turning itself on and the interlock switch is still working, the probable cause is the main control board. If the control board is defective it will need to be replaced.

On the DMT2420, that's a bad bottom door switch, or possibly that switch's mount.

Often I have to hit the open panel several times to open the DMT24203 purchased in January of this year. It started a couple of weeks ago . Would appreciate any info Patricia Kuhl

This is usually due to grease buildup, or a worn or broken door open button or door open lever.

Since it's less than one year old, it should be fully covered under warranty. I'd suggest contacting the manufacturer to get it fixed free.

If you are a Dacor owner with product covered by a Dacor Warranty, please contact your local Dacor Authorized Service Provider, or contact Dacor at (800) 793-0093. Or, click here to Contact them online.

Dacor Microwave/Conv Oven DCM24S

Placing the bag on an inverted glass bowl or pyrex casserole dish worked!!!!! For 2 years, I have cursed my Dacor microwave for its inability to make popcorn (burns a hole in the bag, bag stays flat, almost no kernels pop, etc...) I read the last suggestion to use the glass plate and I am now sitting with a bowl full of perfectly popped popcorn - with only 1 kernel unpopped. The metal tray in the microwave conducts too many waves through the bag I guess.
Thanks for the solution!
