There's no reset button, and if the fuse were blown, the oven would be totally dead.

Your problem is almost certainly a failed secondary interlock (bottom door switch) or its mount.

You can see our help file on door switches here and the service manual here.

Hello & Welcome to FixYa

First check the fuse, if the fuse is fine then the control board needs replacement. Please get back to me if you have any other questions.

Microvaves are generally pretty simple to disassemble and open up with just a Phillips screwdriver.

First unplug the power cord and move it to a table or somewhere you can access all sides.

Unscrew the 4 - 8 screws holding the upper and side casing to the base and rear.

Then just lift off the entire cover.

This will expose the internal components and wiring and the exterior of the cooking area.

Clean casing as required but do not touch or get water or cleaning fluid on any electrical components or wiring.

Don't forget to clean the reuseable metal grease filters which are normally located on the underside of the microwave. You will have to remove the rotating glass cooking tray if one is fitted and tip the microwave up to access the underside, then just remove the filters and clean with warm soapy water.

Comment back here to this page if you require further assistance and I will respond.

Microwave Oven Basic Troubleshooting Tips

Hi,

This method simply allows you to open the door and remove whatever food was trapped in there before you take your microwave to repair center.
***IMPORTANT*** Ensure your microwave is unplugged for at least 5 - 10mins before attempting this.

Remove the housing of your microwave, once you have done this the screws securing the control panel should be visable. After you remove the screws, gently try to lift the control panel from the bottom( underneath) of the panel. Usually there are a couple plastic clips that help to secure the panel to the microwave chassis. There will be electrical wiring connected to the panel but you should be able to move the panel enough to get access to the door mechanism without dissconnecting any leads.
Press the door open button and you will see how the door release mechanism operates.
You can try at this point to lift your door out of the lock.. manually engage the door release mechanism and holding the lower right coner of the door lift upwards. I discovered that my micro door has a manual release for the bottom or lower door tooth with the top is electronically controlled. If you have a blown fuse or busted spring, you may have to unscrew the housing around your door release mechanism simply to give you enough room to manually lift the tooth out of the lock.
Once you remove the housing for the lock you can insert a dull flat object ( screwdriver for eg) and use it to lift the tooth over the lock.

Please post your feedback and Vote if the problem resolved as per your satisfaction.

Chances are you have a bad bottom door switch or a misaligned bottom door switch mount.

If something like a knife, spoon or fork is in the micro, this usually happens. It could also be that the interior of the micro may be damaged due to rust. Check for open metal, cracks or paint missing on the inside of the microwave.

We have a few Dacor manuals at our site. I'm not sure which you might need since you didn't mention the model number:

This is usually due to grease buildup, or a worn or broken door open button or door open lever.

Since it's less than one year old, it should be fully covered under warranty. I'd suggest contacting the manufacturer to get it fixed free.

I need it too.

We need just a bit more info from you please in order to possibly help you.


Model number of your steamer please. I understand the brand is TEFAL

I could pick one and give you the manual link but I don't think it would be the manual your looking for. Just being honest. Help us help you.

Thanks

Kelly

I am going to give this a shot. There are 4 Tefal steamer manuals here. Hopefully this link has your manual.

Microwaves generally last about 2000 hours before losing power. Here are some basics to try: Make sure the power plug is securely plugged into the wall outlet. Listen for an audible click when you close the door. Unplug it, wait 30 seconds, plug it back in (this may reset it). If the start button is then not appearing, there may be a problem with the touchhpad or control panel. Teka's customer service: https://www.teka.com/global/support/
