Quite often this is due to grease or food particles stuck to the inside of the oven or stuck on or behind the waveguide cover.

The waveguide cover is usually about the size of a playing card and held in place by a plastic rivet.

It can be fragile, and the metal edges behind it can be sharp, so be careful!

The cover and the metal behind it should be cleaned with a mild, non-ammonia cleaner.

If the cavity metal of the oven is chipped or charred, it will have to be sanded smmoth and clean.

Then you can apply some high-temperature appliance paint, available from places liek Wal-Mart or Lowe's.

If your waveguide cover is burned, it will need to be replaced.

If it's not a problem caused by outside forces, it may be covered under warranty.

Hello,

You have 3 choices to use on removing the safety screw(s) on the MW (microwave or nuker as I call them) cover.

1 - The screw(s) is/are usually a modified TORX T-20 or T-25 bit adapter. Sometimes you can very carefully use a standard T-20/25 bit adapter to get the screw loosened. Sometimes! If that doesn't work then you have option #2.

2 - If #1 doesn't work you can use a small flat blade screwdriver that has been modified with a slot cut into the center of the blade end to bypass the center pin. First find a narrow enough flat blade srewdriver that you don't care about anymore, and make sure it fits rather snugly inside the screw-head just for a loose fit. If the blade is a bit wider - no problem - it can be ground down to fit snugly. Next - using a dremel tool and diamond cutting wheel attachment (or similar) cut a slot into the end of the blade. Make sure that the screwdriver is going to bite the insides of that screw-head first though before wasting a perfectly good screwdriver. You will have to adjust by trial and error until you get the blade to fit perfectly the head of the safety screw. If the screws are really tight use a pair of vice grips to clamp the screwdriver blade for extra leverage.

If neither of these methods work for you or you can't modify a special tool then you will have to do the last option.

3 - Using an easy out of proper size drill out the center pin and then use the proper "easy out" to back out the screw. Discard that/those screw(s) and replace with regular phillips head screws after replacing the light bulb.

Hopefully you will be able to do this repair yourself? Otherwise if your neighbor is Tim the Toolman Taylor I'm sure he'll be able to give you the necessary hand to do it for you.

Hope this helps fix your dilema you are in.

One note here -

Make sure you unplug the nuker first and be VERY CAREFUL as to NOT TOUCH the HIGH VOLTAGE CAPACITOR inside. Otherwise you risk a chance of SEVERE HIGH VOLTAGE SHOCK!!!!!!!!!

BE VERY CAREFUL....

Best regards,

check control circuit and door switches,

Magnatron is the problem you need to replace it. I believe that this is still under warranty, so you can get a replacement free of charge.

Ajaz

check rotated plate and connecting surface ok.

Question edited for clarity. This is what it looks like. A standard SES Appliance bulb https://www.ebay.com/itm/314808284288 Normally there is a door on the outside case. Some you have to remove all the case. Directions here. Make sure you keep away from the Capacitor and Step Up Transformer as it will make your hair curly. https://www.wikihow.com/Replace-a-Microwave-Lightbulb ..

have you tried the power button? link to manual copy and paste https://mans.io/files/viewer/396358/8

No manual for that one, but the link might work better for you is you are outside Canada. The 8106 might be close enough. If you do a power reset, the power needs to be off for 5 minutes at the wall plug. https://www.google.com/search?q=emerson+microwave+mw8126w+manual ..

You cannot fix this

Ah Nora We spoke yesterday. You have 10 Power Levels Nora from 10% power and in 10% increments all the way up to 100% Power. You didn't read the manual did you? :>D I just did and here it it is on the page you need to read. https://www.manualslib.com/manual/47081/Emerson-Mw9113ss.html?page=9#manual and you have Defrost which I mentioned and is pulsed Power. https://www.manualslib.com/manual/47081/Emerson-Mw9113ss.html?page=10#manual ..

Question edited for clarity and to add the make. Question moved from Computers to Emerson Microwave. It appears to be a rather obscure model and is not available. https://www.google.com/search?q=Emerson+mw7315b+manual The Model 7300 is the closest. https://www.manualslib.com/manual/255271/Emerson-700w.html .. ..

The owner's manual is here. On page 10 we find:

COOKING IN ONE STAGE
1. Press the POWER button; the Microwave and High
Cook indicators will light and “PL 10” will light in the
display.
2. Press the POWER button different times to set the
desired power; the display will show the percentage

Low Cook indicator will light instead of the High
Cook indicator.
3. Press number keys to set the desired cooking time.
OPERATION(CONTINUED)
4. Press the START/+30SEC. button to start cooking;
the Microwave and one of the Cook indicators will
blink and the display will countdown the remaining
cooking time in minutes and seconds. It will beep
five times when cooking is completed.

Request the manual directly from Emerson.

The outer cover would have to be removed to gain access.

The fuse is internal.

My GE microwave has a metal stand that sits on top of the glass tray and places food closer to the magnetron for browning. Emerson may use a similar arrangement.
