Some control panels will malfunction if the unit is not grounded.

Additionally, one side of the high voltage supply to the magnetron is usually tied to the cabinet. So, if not grounded, you have a "floating" 4000 volts. It's possible this could be a dangerous situation if something else failed, such as the transformer.

Why is my microwave not working? Das, it have to be grounded?

Yes, it must be grounded.
After grounding, put a load in oven (bowl of water, food etc).
Test and watch display for error codes, and if any arcing or burning, note where and switch off.
If still having problems, post another question here with all details.

I removed an outdoor light fixture on my garage to replace with a new one. It has a plastic box mounted in the brick .I disconnected the white and black wires and noticed the ground wire just lying in...

If your old light was all plastic, as I suspect it was, there was nothing to ground. Your new light evidently is all or part metal. Fasten all the green/copper wires together and make sure the metal bar inside, if one, is also connected. Use a wire nut to make the connections. My preference is to attach a separate wire to the metal mount bar and then fasten all three ground wires together using the wire nut.

I hope this helps you ... Thank you for your interest in FixYa.com

Last night, we had an electrical issue... water got into an outside socket which knocked out the ground faulted outlet inside, which took out the fridge too. Once we identified what had happened we reset...

The compressor is high siding....i.e there was a BRIEF power outtage and it was repowered before the coolant system stabilized to the compressor does not stand a chance of starting due to high pressures so about every 4 minutes or so you should hear a click or note a brief blink for about 40 seconds of lights in the home. This is the termal overload cycling. The compressor / coolant system needs to equalize. Unplug it for 30 minutes then plug it back in and listen for the compressor to start. After a 10 minutes... feel the front of the chassis where the doors close. It should be warm to the touch. If you feel the chassis is warm... after 10 minutes everything should be back to normal. IF not respond with a complete model number. My bet is it will start after a 30 min rest.

Thanks for choosing FixYa,

I have a very old mixer, a hamilton beach no.18. I have a basic understanding of how things work, but this has me beat. The cup holder switch is the on/off, and the top switch is to change speed correct?...

The green ground wire attaches directly to the frame of the mixer. If the green iwire is attached directly to the speed "prong" you will have a direct short. There should be a grounding screw just inside the place where the wire enters the frame. If it really old, you may not have a ground screw because in the old days the wires only had two prong plugs. You can operate the machine without a ground wire,but if it fails internally you could get a potentially fatal shock. Any screw that is attached directly to the frame can be used as a ground screw. The green wire is there to take any grounded short circuit back to the breaker box instead of sending the electricity into you.

Turns on but doesn't heat only a year old LG LRM1260SW 1200 Watts Microwave Oven

I have had the LG model lrm1260sw microwave for 3 years. Recently it quit heating. I found the problem was the soldered grounding lug connection on the power transformer had lost circuit continuity and failed. One of the secondary coils on the power transformer, red wire / bare copper wire, is connected to ground / chassis. I cleaned the lug connection and added a length of wire twisted together with the bare copper coil wire and soldered to the grounding lug. I then grounded the extra added length of wire to another chassis ground point. Make sure the transformer to chassis mounting screws are tight also. Now the microwave oven works like new again.

Hole in the microwave

Where exactly is the hole in the microwave?

If it's a hole in the actual metal chassis of the oven, it should not be used and you should contact Dacor customer service:
http://ww2.dacor.com/services/index.asp

Quite often this is due to grease or food particles stuck to the inside of the oven or stuck on or behind the waveguide cover.

The waveguide cover is usually about the size of a playing card and often held in place by a plastic rivet.

It can be fragile, and the metal edges of the oven behind it can be sharp, so be careful!

The cover and the metal behind it should be cleaned with a mild, non-ammonia cleaner.

If the cavity metal of the oven is chipped or charred, it will have to be sanded smmoth and clean.

Then you can apply some high-temperature appliance paint, available from places like Wal-Mart or Lowe's.

If your waveguide cover is burned, it will need to be replaced. Dacor can help you find one.

We're happy to help and we appreciate your thoughtful rating of our answer.
