Basic Microwave Oven Troubleshooting Tips

If one or more of the keys are not responding when you press them, it may need a new keypad, or it may just be that the connections need cleaning.

On some of these models, the display and keypad are connected to the circuit board via a conductive rubber zebra strip.

Sometimes steam (or spray cleaners!) can get in there and interfere with conductivity for the keys and/or display.

One would have to take it apart and clean the connections with high-grade alcohol, like 70% or better isopropyl from the drug store.

The attached photo is similar but not the same model.

If the keypad has been damaged or a cleaning does not do it, you will need a new keypad, and disassembly can be a bit tricky.

The first thing I would suggest is a hard reset. Unplug the unit for a minute or so. Then plug it back in and try again.

If that doesn't work, you may have a problem with the keypad, but your best bet is to check your owner's manual first.

If for some reason you don;t have yours, you can probably get it via the Sears site.

Just enter your model number there.

A full Sears/Kenmore model number has 3 digits, a dot, then 8 more digits, such as ###.########

On the resulting page, look to the right for the blue "View manuals" button. Click there.



That Sears-related site has many free manuals. While the manuals they list there are all free, they will ask you to register.

If yours is not listed there for free, you would have to order it through the Sears parts site.

If you still have toruble despite using the manual, you may have a failed keypad. If so, please reply back or feel free to contact me directly.

This is usually caused by either a bad door switch, a loose door switch mount, or a problem on the control panel.

Even though a door switch clicks, it may still be bad inside.

This can be caused by slamming the door or by habitually opening the door while it's cooking without hitting the Stop pad first.

If you or a friend decide to look into it, we have critical information on safety, disassembly and door switches at our site, and our link is at our listing here on FixYa: http://tinyurl.com/yzjozk

Turn the microwave oven to the "On" position press "Stop/Clear" a few times -- the microwave should return to normal mode.

I hope you didn't run the microwave with nothing in the cavity, if you did, it will damage the magnetron. The turntable dishes do get hot depending on the quality of the glass used to make it. Heat is caused by impurities in the glass. If you run it with no food in the oven, the glass will try to absorb the energy with atastrophic results usually.

The thermistor has failed. Replace the thermistor with the Sharp approved type and part number.

You might attempt the following troubleshooting steps: Ensure sure the temperature settings are accurate and that you have given the oven enough time to warm before putting food inside. Check the oven temperature settings. To learn how to adjust the temperature properly, consult the user handbook. Examine the heating components since they can be broken if the oven is not heating at all. When the oven is switched on, see if the heating components are blazing red. The heating components might need to be replaced if they are not. Examine the oven thermostat: If the temperature fluctuates or fails to reach the desired level, the thermostat may be malfunctioning. Replace a broken thermostat if necessary. Verify that there are no blockages inside the oven that could be preventing the heat from circulating. Debris, foil, or bakeware that is too big or that covers a significant amount of the oven rack might all fall under this category.

It is a motorized drawer and I doubt it likes being opened manually. It would need to be repaired professionally due to the inherent dangers of microwave energy. The drawer motor would be operated by a relay. Did you read any reviews before you purchased it? IanFromOhio a year ago Thumbs Down - Looks great but features are bad. Drawer microwaves and this model in particular look great. We did a big reno in December and this is now in the island. Looks good and functions as a basic microwave. Everything else is just south of mediocre. I'd suggest you get a drawer microwave from another company. Bad Stuff: - door opens/closes very slowly (~4 seconds)... doing a 30 second reheat now takes 4+4+30+4+4 = 50% longer just standing around. Likely similar with other drawers, but an unexpected negative. - doesn't let you tell it to start until fully closed - its default sounds and reminders are ridiculously annoying - beep-beep-beep on finish, and 10 seconds after that, and 10 seconds after that, and.... on and on - it forgets all settings during a power outage, turning back on the annoying sounds - and forgets your network connection - but good news, you won't want to use that feature - controls are not intuitive - classic 40 buttons where you use 5 The WiFi & App - hilariously bad. Design in your head the things you would want in a microwave app. Sharp engineers designed the opposite. Can you set the alarm settings in the app? No. Do you get a notification each time the microwave finishes cooking? Yes. I guarantee you will delete the app within 48 hours. Hand Wave to open. Neat right? No. Take how long it takes for this thing to open/close and add another 4-8 seconds of waving your hands (which are full food, else you'd just press the button) to then wait for the drawer to open. Push to close works well, but it reacts in a weird way, so some concern I'm breaking it. I stopped doing wave to open after the first week and stopped trying to demonstrate it to friends after one month (cause it will make you look silly). Height - just tall enough - fits a Venti coffee Cooks at 950 watts - basically the same power as a college-dorm microwave Cost. my god, how much did I spend on this. The good: Looks good Flush install if you have a good installer; mine is shown in a 30" wide lower microwave cabinet by Medallion Reheat sensor cook works well push to close works. It was suggested that I buy a Sharp because they have the patent on the drawer microwave and everyone else is just a re-labelled Sharp. I would suggest you give the others a look. They may be using the same hardware, but hopefully they have a more customer-focused interface and better software engineers working for them. Reviewed on bestbuy.com

You have to replace the control board. Sharp has had problems with the display boards for awhile. There is no bulb or fuse you can change.

The E-03 error on a Sharp CD-C492 CD player typically indicates a problem with the door or the mechanism that opens and closes the door. Here are a few steps you can try to fix the issue:

1. Check for foreign objects: Make sure that there are no foreign objects blocking the door or preventing it from opening.
2. Check the door hinges: Inspect the hinges on the door to ensure that they are not damaged or stuck. If the hinges are damaged or stuck, try gently wiggling them to see if this helps free them up.
3. Check the door switch: Locate the door switch, which is usually located near the hinges on the door. Check to make sure that the switch is functioning properly and that it is not stuck or damaged.
4. Check the door motor: If the door switch and hinges are functioning properly, the problem may be with the door motor. Check to make sure that the motor is functioning properly and that it is not damaged.

If you are unable to fix the issue using the steps above, or if the error persists, it is recommended to have a qualified technician take a look at the CD player to diagnose and repair the problem

DO NOT use this oven for any of the functions! You will need to get a specialist to look at this! Smoke suggests a motor or the wiring to it is burning out. Is this a free standing unit or a built in setup? Free standing unit or often not too expensive to replace and there are lots of Companies who make good upgrade models. Get quotes for the repairs from 3 or 4 different places and compare that to the cost of a replacement.
