Danby DMW1146SS Microwave Oven Questions & Answers
How do I replace lamp?
Yes, the light bulb base needs to come out so that you can replace the whole unit (bulb & base.) These lamps are known for separating when you try to remove them. I would recommend a needle-nosed pliers to get the base out. If you need to unscrew it and can't get ahold of it with pliers, you might try using a carrot! Cut the carrot a short ways down from the stem, then push the cut end into the socket and unscrew it.
Smoking and electrical smell
OOPS!
Sounds bad!
Remove the power plug & remove the lid!
Remember microwaves are deadly! Never touch! use your eyes only!
Put a 1/2 cup of water in & start. Look if you can see where the smoke comes from. If there is some arching somehhere, you may unplug it & leave it for 1/2 an hour to get rid of lethal high voltages. There may be carbon black at the arching site. You may clean it and if you see any paint damage, cover it with a piece of duck tape. Then try again.
If the smoke comes from the transformer, a square heavy iron box, dump the microvawe.
They are cheaper than the combined cost of the transformer & the labour!
Buttons dont work on danby microwave
The
first thing I would suggest is a hard reset. Unplug the unit for a
minute or so. Then plug it back in, set the clock and try again.
If that doesn't work,
leave it unplugged for maybe an hour.
If it still isn;t working I would contact Danby Customer

Don't tell anyone that you did not install a surge suppression on it either.
I have a power monitor/surge suppression deivce for it that will keep it from blowing out for $39.00
