I just want to know the wattage of the MW6471G

Multiply the Voltage times the current to get wattage. The information plate on the unit will give you both numbers. In either case the MAX it would use would on a 15amp 120 Volt circuit would be 1800 watts. If its on a 20 amps circuit it would be 2400 watts. Unless its on a 220V circuit it would be one or the other. If its installed properly it should be on its own circuit breaker, see what size of circuit breaker its on and use the appropriate value. it could be less but it will not be more than these values.

Hi Nadia,

There's little to be found on the internet for this model oven now. There should be a name plate / manufacturer's sticker either inside the door - on the jamb; or on the rear near the power cord. If you see a rating given as "120VAC / 1200W" this would indicate INPUT wattage, which would be higher than the amount used for cooking. A typical 1200W rated microwave might have 800 - 1000 Watts of cooking power. If there are 2 ratings for wattage like 120V / 1200W / 850W; the 850 Watts is the amount of cooking power. The cooking power - or wattage - is always lower than the total wattage. If you see a rating somewhere that indicates 900W cooking power, then that would be the cooking power of the oven.

If you're not satisfied or unsure about the information you're finding on the oven - or it is missing - you might want to contact Magic Chef Customer Service Department at (888) 775-0202. They should be able to help you - or pint you in the right direction.

Good luck!

most of the ones i have replaced are 40 watt

The "4" pad is shorted on the membrane keypad.

The membrane keypad is part number DE34-10207C and it can be ordered here or here.

If you (or someone you know) might want to replace it yourself, I have uploaded a handy guide with pictures showing you what's typically involved.

If you would like to have us do this repair for you, we do that for $39.95 plus part costs nationwide.

http://www.sharpusa.com doesn't have your manual. But you can find it yourself on the
back of the unit - the wattage should be listed.

If only the amperage is given (you know the voltage is 120 VAC RMS), so using Ohm's Law, you can calculate wattage:

Watts = 120 Volts X Amps

Try unplugging the oven from the electric outlet, let it sit a few seconds, then plug it back in. This might reset the computer if it's locked up for some reason.

The oven's child-lock feature might be engaged. To turn it off, press and hold the "0" key, then press "2" and release both buttons. (From Samsung's website)

If neither of these help, the control board likely needs replacement.

Hope this helps you. Thanks for using Fixya!

i just checked my R-3A36 manual to find out the wattage. it's 800 watts. i make pralines in my microwave. i am always asked for the recipe. so i needed to be able to tell people the wattage of my oven so they can adjust the recipe to their oven.
garry, metairie,la.

I still have a orginal lable on my microwave, it is a 800 watt oven.

600 watts, according to the repair manual.

Look on the back for the power requirements, them muliply the number of amps drawn times 100 . example 10 amps times 100 = approx 1000 watts, that will give you an approx. wattage. hope this helps
