ARG! Ok I have a model MW8780SB. Cant find it any where so I picked the closest model #. Neways...The key pad works and everything,however,when I put any thing on cook nothing works. I think that maybe there is a door issue or something cause it only wont work for the cook functions(popcorn button,start button for cooking,etc..) Help me! What do I do!

This is usually caused by either a bad door switch, a loose door switch mount, or a problem on the control panel.

Even though a door switch clicks, it may still be bad inside.

My microwave emerson MW8780SB doesnt heat everything else work
what is wrong is that your megatron went bad, is this a counter top unit or is it a built in? if it is a built in i would suggest fixing it, and if it is a really expensive counter top i would fix it, but the part cost about $80 to $100. so it would be up to you. if you want to go for the fix write me back and i will walk you through it.

Cooktop Light / Night light
It is the control panel. You can actually just replace the circuit board on the control panel and it should fix this.

Turn off Demo Mode on goldstar Microwave
The first thing I would suggest is a hard reset. Unplug the unit for a minute or so. Then plug it back in, set the clock and try again.

If that doesn't work, leave it unplugged for maybe an hour.

Then let us know if the hard reset does not fix it.

Otherwise, try holding CLEAR for 3 seconds, then try each pad for 3 seconds.
