It sounds like you may have had an issue with a high voltage part such as the magnetron, diode, or transformer. It's also possible that you had an arcing stirrer. I would also check to see if your model is covered by / affected by this bulletin: http://microwavedisplay.com/ge_mw_mag_kit_bulletin.pdf 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 and order parts by entering your full model number (without the suffix) here: http://tinyurl.com/gv383

Hi, we have an electrolux builtin microwave.when on standby it occasionally makes a crackling noise not unlike a laptop or storage device when it looks for data. Microwave runs fine otherwise
You really need to be sure it's not running by itself - even intermittently - because that can cause arcing damage, or even a fire.

If you're not sure, leave the door open or the oven unplugged until you're sure it's not or it's fixed.

You can keep a cup of water in it and check it hourly over the course of a day to see if it coming on and actually heating.

It really shouldn't make any noise when idle except a gentle 60Hz hum.

Please include FULL model number*, FCC ID number*, + detailed symptom information.

Is it normal for a microwave to make crackling noises when standing and not in use but plugged in ?
A microwave in standby mode should not crackle. There might be a slight humming sound from a transformer, but that should be all the noise it makes. You could have a transformer or control panel component that is failing.

Sharp R-1880-L microwave convection oven, year built 2007. Is there a repair manual for this unit. I have power to unit, no indication of power in unit. no lights no display, I figured it was a main fuse....
Any repair on any electrical appliance should be done with the plug removed from the power socket. Microwave ovens are dangerous and has been known to kill people. Rather be safe than sorry. If a fuse is suspected, make sure to unplug first. It should be discharged as it can, even after switching off, cause a very nasty shock.

Turntable has ceased to function when oven is on. Is it dangerous to use like this?
Not dangerous, but your food will not be efficiently or evenly heated. To change the motor do the following:-

There is a panel under the microwave, held on by one or more screws. Remove it and you will see the synchronous motor inside. There should be a plug to disconnect the wires. Remove the motor and fit a new one. Ensure that the microwave is disconnected from the wall outlet before attempting any work on it.

How to dismantle for cleaning
Don't dismantle anything on a microwave. It is an extremely dangerous appliance, even after the plug has been pulled out of the wall socket. There are commercially available microwave oven cleaners. Whatever you cannot reach and clean with that is best left well alone.

My microwave oven heats, but makes strange crackling noises. Is it allright to keep using the unit?
No. Please have it checkd as it is dangerous to let the high voltage jump along side the magnetron. This will eventually result in the failure of the magnetron with a possible damage to the circuits.
So open and check if there is any foreign particles/insects struck within , Is the insulation damaged or remove the magnetron and clean the uni , clean the cabin specially if food haas accidently got spurted inside, dry the whole unit after cleaning before you fix back the magnetron.
The microwave must now work without crackling or else if the spark is seem near the magnetron , it must be replaced.
Hope this advice helps.

GE profile advantium 120 display out, no operation but turntable runs when closed I have a GE profile advantium 120 PSB1201NSS01 microwave from 2009. Display is out, no oven operation but the turntable runs when the door is closed. The display and operation worked a few times when closing the door and flickered when I was checking the door switches. I figured it must be bad switch so I replaced them but still no display or operation. But the turntable still runs when closed. Pushing the touchpad I can hear faint clicks. Any ideas?
