Loud buzzing sound

Buzzes when door is open, chirps when buttons are pressed, clock works, when I put a time in and start, it starts but immediately switches to "pause" and buzzes. The clock works and the nite light will work without buzzing, but just about everything else results in the loud buzzing noise,

SOURCE: 1800 XL JVM1860BD - won't work

It sounds like your controller may be failing. Or it could be an electrical line problem. Any other electrical itmes giving you trouble? Has anyone measured the voltage level of your power line? It should be around 110-125 volts AC. If it's significantly lower or higher, you may have a bad connection in your breaker panel or in the wiring leading to the home.

SOURCE: Buzzing noise, wont work???

The magnatron is shorting, overloading the high voltage transformer. From the picture this looks like an older unit and is probably not worth a magnatron replacement.

SOURCE: G.E. Spacemaker XL1800- Loud constant buzzing noise. Help

My microwave was totally dead. Things I discovered: 1) There is an easily replacable fuse accessed by taking off the top front vent cover (two screws on top, gently massage off) and then the inside plastic grill. UNPLUG before doing this! 2) Pop off two wires on either end of fuse holder for safety. Then pop out fuse and replace. For more extensive help, there is an evelope with a wiring diagram inside the case on the inside wall! Very helpful when diagnosing the surface lamp problem (I forgot to plug the ballast back in when I closed up the bottom).

SOURCE: control panel not working properly

That's almost always a defective filter capacitor on the control circuit board.

We regularly repair such control units for customers nationwide by mail for $39.95 postpaid in about a week or so with a one-year guarantee.

At our Web site, we have a video available showing how to remove a typical over the range control panel assembly in under 5 minutes.

Feel free to contact me directly (and please remind me of your full model number from the tag on the unit) for more information & help.

Electronic Door open button buzzes when pressed and door does not open

If the electronic door open button on your Westinghouse microwave is buzzing when you press it and the door does not open, it is possible that there is a problem with the door latch mechanism. The buzzing sound may be caused by an electrical issue, such as a short circuit or a loose connection. I recommend unplugging the microwave and carefully inspecting the door latch mechanism for any visible damage or loose parts. If you are unable to identify the cause of the problem, I recommend contacting Westinghouse or a qualified appliance repair service for further assistance. It is important to have this issue addressed, as a malfunctioning door latch on a microwave can be a safety hazard.

Fuse blows immediately when start button is pressed

It sounds like the high voltage capacitor.

You first need to be sure the unit is unplugged from the wall.

Assuming the HV cap is shorted, there wouldn't be any need to discharge it (*grin*) but it's good practice. Once you do that, you can remove the leads and ohm it out. That will tell the tale.

If that's not it, then it may be a bad high voltage transformer. *

Microwave Buzzing, Still Heats, but Turntable And Fan Not Working

This is not safe. If the fan is not running, the magnetron will quickly overheat and be destroyed. We answered this in more depth in the other place you asked it.
