Microwave Oven Basic Troubleshooting Tips

The Magnetron in your unit is no longer resonating properly. The Magnetron produces the microwave frequencies and when it resonates properly, it will provide the excitation to heat your item(s). As well, the diode that accompanies the magnetron needs to be replaced as well. Should it be under warranty, take it back. Out of warranty? Have an appliance tech repair it (usually around $175) or get a new microwave.

This is typical for most microwaves. No such thing as quality any more.

Your membrane keypad is failing.

hello. push the clock button and then put in the time using the number keys, THEN push the clock button a SECOND TIME to make it work.

IF the noise is a sound coming from the oven area, its the megatron tube. Typically, replacing the megatron tube is more expensive than replacing wiht a new unit and a new warranty.

With these symptoms I would suspect a bad magnetron or a loose connection at the FA terminal of the magnetron.

I would suggest you contact Danby customer service o locate their nearest authorized servicer.
