Magic chef MCD1611ST microwave, the display lights up, the time and powerlevel can be set, the light works when the door is open but when i hit start everything shuts off. Any suggestions?

There are a lot of possible causes, but I'd look at the door switches first, and the wiring connectors to them. Make sure the contacts on all the switches are opening and closing. If you need further help, I’m available over the phone at https://www.6ya.com/expert/david_29ad5d1dd86564b0

How do I access the control panel so I can replace the fuse?

It depends on the type of oven. On countertop models, remove the outside cover. On over the range units, remove the control panel. You may have to remove the air deflector on the top first in order to gain access to the control panel screws.

Microwave would cut off after a few minutes and then turn back on but now there is no power at all.

There are few reasons for this fault, but the main is that you need to open your microwave oven and first check the Fan which is connected at the back which cools the magnetron. If this fan fails thus results in magnetron being overheated and the thermal cutoff gets open circiut and shuts down whole power of your microwave oven. Check your fan motor test it straight with direct power Also check the thermal cutoff. Let me know after you have done those checkups Regards Ashwin

Making odd screeching noise,thought it might be the ac motor for turn table ,but it looks and sounds good because i took it out and hooked it up to ac power.

The loud sounds are always the sound of the magnetron failing. It may actually be caused by the capacitive reactance of the large capacitor drying up.

Please tell me were the fuse is.

Hi,

The fuse can be located on the power supply board. To locate the power supply board, trace the microwave wire back into the microwave. The area where the microwave wire is soldered inside the TV is the power supply board. There is fuse on the board. So this means you have to disassemble the microwave....

Note that microwave store a lot of current, so unplug it and wait for about 30mins before your attempt disassembling it.

Regards.

SOCKET GOT POWER BUT NO

There is a fuse inside that is probably blown. If you replace it and it keeps blowing the fuse when you open and close the door, that means a problem with the door switches sequence. I could run you through that step by step.......

Clouds of smoke started coming from the inside of

It is time to replace the microwave oven, the problem you are describing is one or more issues, the high voltage transformer, high voltage capacitor, the magnetron, and the high voltage diode all play a key roll in generating the high voltage which translates into heating the food. The cost in my view will run high and would be put to better use buying a new microwave oven.

No longer heats

It sounds like the magnetron may have either failed or is not being supplied with the extremely high voltage required to run it.

YOUR SAFETY IS PARAMOUNT

This is a job for a professional but if you are safety clued up, here's instruction.
Make sure the !!!!capacitor is discharged!!!!! before attempting any sort of repair.
Check the door interlock switches first then the high voltage diode with either an AVO model 8 or moving coil meter on high resistance range for short circuit, (DVM's won't show the fault!), the capacitor can fail and go short circuit, the feed fuse on the primary of the high voltage transformer and then finally, the magnetron is best checked by substitution.
Hope that helps.

No power in microwave - vm11b8p magic chef

The incoming power wire goes onto a small pc board, the fuse is located onto that small pc board. If it is not visible then you have to remove it and turn the board around. You should locate it on the other side
