| The touch pad and the controller appear to work properly.
You should remove the cover of the unit and check the following items: - Fuse (6Amps or more) - wires and connections may be faulty because of the high current and heat - the relay (or triac) which controls the power transformer - the power transformer - all windings If all items above look good, then the magnetron must be defective and the unit doesn't worth to be repaired. Please be careful: ALL MEASUREMENTS SHOULD BE MADE WITH A OHMMETTER AND WITH THE UNIT UNPLUGGED. DANGEROUS HIGH VOLTAGE ARE INSIDE. |

|
| My microwave counts down but the magnetron is not turning on... At first I thought it was the touch pad, but I tried the defrost and got the same count down without the microwave relly turning on/engaging.
Is it the touchpad or is the unit's microwave emitter shot? Any ideas would be helpful. It's a hand-me-down so I do not have a manual or any clue.... Is it the touchpad or after 16 years do the microwave units just STOP!!!!  |
