To set my Russell Hobbs Microwave clock, I found....press and hold timer/clock button, untill it comes up with 24 hr, ( am guessing press it again to set to 12 hr, but wasn't chancing it lol) use numbers to set time, then press timer/clock button again! Hope that helps someone!
Hi, Could be a timer issue. Don't hit it anymore you will do more damage to it or even get a shock. Take it to a repairman or someone that has worked on one. Good luck.
The "F2" on a microwave can mean that the touch pad has a problem. Once I saw that message on a stove. The technician told me to press the "stop/cancel" button two times to reset the electronics. That fixed it. The electronics inside the microwave are usually timers and they adjust the strength of the microwaves for cooking. The best thing to do if the stop/cancel trick does not work, is to look at the owner's manual. If there is nothing there referring to that code, then copy the model number from the microwave (usually inside the door panel or sometimes at the back of the unit) and go to the manufacturer's website. Look for support, enter the required information and find out what the code really means.
Many times, it is better to let a professional take care of a repair on a microwave. If you leave something loose or not properly installed, you could endanger your health with microwaves hitting you improperly. Always be careful when working with this type of equipment.
Yes - please buy a new one.
Unfortunately microwaves have 2 positions - working or dead!.
The cost to resurrect from the dead is all out of proportion with the cost of buying a new one which will have at least a 12mths guarantee
Hi, these machines get corrosion in the door safety switch. I would start there. A little cleaning of the contacts might get that machine going. How about a repair manual? I have a few:
Try to unplug your microwave then leave it for 1 hour the purpose is to reset and drain stored current after 1 hour plug it again ,if still notworking there something wrong inside. Usually, when your microwave oven doesn't work it all, the internal fuse (thermal fuse) is blown. This fuse protects both you and the oven. When it blows,you need to replaced it or you need to have a qualified appliance repair technician replace it.
The problem is that the magnatron is not getting power. Chance is that if could be a bolwn fuse inside the unit. If the fuse don't fix it then that leaves the charging diode, capacitor or the magnatron, or high voltage xformer of which without technical epertize I would not recomend attempting to replace. good luck
