The latch on your microwave door that allows it to close and stay shut needs to be replaced and is broken.

Normally a 25 watt, SES (small edison screw) appliance bulb. They are normally accessed from a panel on the outside just behind where you see the light from the inside.Perhaps 'micro' doesn't mean 'microwave', but you put it in the microwave category.https://www.google.com/search?q=Grundig+34CS..Search is only bringing up Grundig Radio pictures.

Definitely a Combi MICROWAVE oven? Popcorn needs a certain amount of moisture in it to 'pop'. 1000 watts of microwave should work fine. Make your popcorn, put it in a bowl and eat the popped corn. Put the un-popped kernels in a pan with a little oil and see if they will pop. My theory is that the bag or the corn is old. Make and model are always useful in such questions, then we can check specs.

you can just put the egg and heat it and it will be like boiled eggs

It is non polarised so it doesn't matter.

Possibly a noisy inductor or choke. I wouldn't think this will be an issue.

This is why we need full 'make model (what it is)'. :>) https://www.google.com/search?q=729-1630 The normal way is that there is a small door on the outside of where the light is. Generally one or two screws to remove the little door. Replace the bulb with the same type, a 25 watt SES Appliance bulb.

Read the instructions that came with it! Set the clock.

First of all, be sure your plates SAY they are for microwave use or "microwave safe." Many are NOT. Second, be sure to place the plate slightly off-center on the turntable to ensure more even heating, and to prevent the center of the turntable from overheating repeatedly. More questions?

Is your 68D44 lamp the Califa 21 1/2" high bronze textured outdoor post light, https://www.lampsplus.com/products/califa-21-and-one-half-inch-high-bronze-textured-glass-outdoor-post-light__68d44.html . There are four screws that hold the frame (the top section) to the body. These are close to the top of the body of the lamp. Once you remove the screws, lift up the frame part of the fixture. Now you can remove the bulb and put in a new one. Place the frame back on the body of the light and replace the screws. See the Figure 1 in the manual, https://www.lampsplus.com/products/califa-21-and-one-half-inch-high-bronze-textured-glass-outdoor-post-light__68d44.html# , to see where to locate the screws on the unit. I hope this helps. Cindy Wells

sadly we can not help you look for your manual . tho I did find a couple of ours when I had to fix the bottom drawer in the cabinet under counter

Did the cup actually break apart? That is caused by steam expanding in a crack in the cup. Never use anything that is damaged. Or exploded as in it 'erupted'. That is caused by a phenomenon where steam superheats at the bottom of the cup. Best advice is to heat in a see through Pryrex measuring jug, don't overheat it, and also leave a minute after the microwave turns off. You can also cook on a lower power, or cook on full power for a short time, and then move to Defrost Power, which is pulsed microwaves.

The start button is probably broken then for your microwave.

Contact Siemens directly to inquire.

Remove the outer cover to gain access for lamp replacement.

Try to find an exact replacement.

Determine the precise location of the arcing. Perhaps the container with butter had metal in/on it. Does this occur with a cup of water? It is likely at or near the mica cover over the microwave magnetron antenna. An accumulation of soap, grease, oil and food around or behind this shield will eventually cook down, and burn, as it converts to carbon. The element carbon is metallic and microwaves do not get along well with metals. Due to the close proximity of this shield to the magnetron antenna (usually less than 1/2 inch) the power is intense and arcing occurs. In a worst case scenario the metal band at the tip of the mag tube will melt, requiring the magnetron tube to be replaced. Gently remove the mica shield, inspect, clean any debris, re-coat burnt or bare metal with appliance touch up paint, allow to dry and reinstall the shield, While the shield is off also look at the mag antenna to spot any burnt of melted issues. A bright light and a small mirror are useful for this task. Mica is a delicate material and must be handled carefully - or replaced.

Possibly a control board defect

Request the manual from the manufacturer/distributor.

The diode is located inside, most likely on a circuit board.
