Baumatic BTM231SS Microwave Oven - Answered Questions & Fixed issues

This sounds like the magnetron is overheating, the thermal fuse will interupt cycle when temperature is exceeded, then when it cools down it will reset allowing it to operate. It is also possible the thermal fuse is faulty causing this problem.

You may have a bulb on the right side ,if correct then remove the clock panel and access it from there.If not remove the shell and lift off the microwave cover to get to bulb

I beleive this is the same item, not sure why it has a different model number on the website, but you can download the PDF of the manual from the above link.

Hi Brunie1,
They are on popers so with a knife being careful not to bend either knife or surround gently prise 2 strips either side of door. this should then reveal the 4 screws

Try turning all the power to it off and wait a few minutes and try again.

please follow this steps and fix it. God bless you

1. Inspect the power cordUnplug the power cord and check for voltage at the outlet. Also inspect for damage, shorts, or burn marks that can be a possible safety hazard.
2. Bad door switchIf your microwave does not work at all and you know everything is plugged in properly and the outlet is functioning, then also check the door hooks and the door release button. Using a volt-ohm meter on RX1, check your terminals. When your microwave door is closed you should have a reading of zero. Once the door is open the reading should change to infinity. If these readings do not match up, replacement of the door switch is necessary.
3. Blown fusesTo determine if your fuse has blown out, which may attribute to your microwave not running, you need to pull the fuse out using a pair of fuse pullers. Lay it down and using a volt-ohm meter on RX1, check both ends of the fuse in question. If you do not get a reading of zero, then you will need to replace the fuse.
4. Bad fan motorLocate the fan and remove the leads. Again using the volt-ohm meter on RX1, check the terminals. If an infinity reading is displayed, it means that the fan has gone bad and requires replacement.

usually it requires the whole cover to be removed to get at it unless you see a removable cover where it is located.

Hello, is this a two electrical filament hot plate? Also, is this range stove/oven? I'm a little confused here on what exactly what you are referring to hot plate or cook stove with electrical burners and oven. If it a really old hot plate with one burner look at the plug there could be a fuse in it. If it is electrical range then check the control board and see they a fuse on. If not, check the voltage with a volt meter. Be very careful here there two phase that is 240 Volts AC. The voltage will be split between the two l20 hot legs AC which is 120 degrees out of phase in respect to each other; in other words, don't both of them don't let them touch each other.


If it a kitchen stove I'm fairly sure that the control board is shot and with this not operating it will not open the current/voltage relays for the electrical burners. REMEMBER YOU ARE DEALING WITH 240 VOLT AC...BE CAREFUL.... GB....stewbison

Microwave Oven Basic Troubleshooting Tips

If there is no heating please do not switch on unless you have confirmed the fault. It is possible that the Magnetron is faulty, the temperature cut off is faulty or the main capacitor is short. It is also quite possible that insect can get into the oven and create soft spots. When you switch on these will create a short and make the voltage jump and in the long run damage the magnetron.
So Remove cover after disconnecting , check for dirt/moisture in the cabin, if so wipe clean and dry, check the magnetron and area clean and use an jet air to clean off.
Make sure that the program controller is working if not check power - step down supply, the pads are responding- if not faulty pads- or the door switches, if contact is not through the microwave will not work.

Now keeping clear of the microwave, switch on, use a cup of water inside to test. If you notice any sparks shut off as the magnetron or the main HT capacitor can be faulty. replace with same type.If there is heating without any issues, you can use the microwave safely

Remove the main power for about few hours and then plug the unit while you press the Start/Stop button. If the panel still blinks around, check for any traces of moisture on the panel. if so dry and check. If not the processor is having some errors which needs to be checked from within and requires Tech help.

Hi,
Have you tried running vinegar water or water mixed with CLR through the machine??? The most probable cause for your problem is that the machine has a build up of minerals and/or calcium in it. You will need to clean that out to get the machine working correctly again.
