Our base inside the machine won't go round

Sounds like the motor has blown, I did have this once before and I found by taking the glass plate out and turning motor top where plate rests on by hand a few times it started to work again but it might be gone anyway, you might be able to get a second hand one but a new one is about 30 pounds so might be advisable to renew machine.

MICROWAVE DOOR SAGS CAUSING IT NOT TO OPERATE

I just repaired a different brand of microwave a few weeks ago with the same problem and all it ended up being was some loose screws on the bottom hinge. Take your plate out and then turn your microwave on it's back and see it there are screws in the hinge area and make sure they are tight. If they are, then it might be the upper hinge that is loose and you would have to take off the outside cover to reach those screws and more than likely you would need a special torx screwdriver to get those screws out. If you have access to that kind of screwdriver, just be careful when you take the cover off and put it back on that you get all of the clips back in the right place so that the cover goes back on correctly. Always remember to unplug your microwave if you are going to take the cover off.

Microwave door does not latch; oven does not work

We have the service manual for this model and have uploaded it to our site here to help you.

You will need the
free Acrobat Reader to view or print it in case you don't have it.

If you gently push up on the door latch heads (hook-like devices sticking out of the door) there should be spring tension. If they just flop right up, the spring is off inside.


Normally the problem is not the spring, but a broken spring mounting tab on the door latch head (hook) assembly or the inner door panel.

If it's the door panel, it's usually easier and cheaper to use epoxy and some kind of hardware to fashion a new spring mount.

The door latch head (hook) is easy to replace or repair if that's the issue.

Normally you have to separate the door panels (as shown in the attached photo) and then you'll see the screws you need to remove.

Or you can watch a YouTube video (not a video I made) here that demonstrates how it's done.

We're happy to help you with free advice and we'd appreciate your thoughtful rating of our answer.
