Ran the microwave empty...it shut down. Is there a reset button

Unplug,then plug back in,wait 10 minutes,or try another outlet,circuit breaker could of turned off at control panel in house,reset it.

in most cases the reason for microwaves shutting down without warning is the fuse. in some cases the fuse will fail at its own fault. to test the fault we would do a tollerence test on the unit. but the best way for you to test it is to replace the ceramic fuse with another of the same value. if the unit works then its a faulty fuse. if the unit blows the fuse then the unit has a fault in the power supply that needs to be repaired by a service tech.


best of luck

hello,

the solutionhas noting to do with reset button or code

what the problem is from the element (heat provider)it is always is silver colour all it means is there is disconnection from it or it is bad.

what you need to do to fix up your oven is to unscrew it and then trace down the wire to the heater (element) but if you did not see any sign of disconnection then you will have to make a change of the element it mean bad .

thank you and thanks for using fixya.

Press clear/reset button and hold 5 seconds. If this doesn't work unplug unit or shut off breaker for 10 seconds.

Ok, concerning the heating issue. you will need to replace the Magnetron to restore the heating feature in this unit. this device is damaged.

Concerning the motor(circulation). If the motor is not working, this will damaged the Magnetron, due to poor circulation. i recommend replacing the motor asap.

In conclusion, you will need to replace the Magnetron and the circulation motor as well. replacing these two vital devices will fix your issues. the total cost for these parts are estimated at $87.90

This sounds like the unit is defective and if I were you I would return for replacment!

No health or safety issues there at all. Just lucky it didn't overheat and damage the magnetron tube (Safety wise - the unit has several heat sensitive thermal fuses that will shut the unit down if an overheat situation occurs)
. If the unit still heats and functions normally everything is just fine.

check the fuse on the microwave. if its busted, something shorted out in the oven that tripps off your breaker. it could be your inverter.

the diode is open when the voltage arive at the anode junction it locks off due to the diode is not passing the voltage,change the diode and the microwave will resume operation.good luck.

Probably magnatron is bad. Best test is to substitute a known good one. There are others but you are in the 4000 volt area of the unit.
