There are several things that could cause a microwave not to heat. Most common is the magnatron and some models have up to a 5 yr warranty on that part. Check the owners manual for that info.

I am pretty sure you are having a defrost drain blockage problem. Most defrost every eight hours and over a period the drain line that comes down from freezer into a cup like object top middle and back of the fresh food section. If blocked by gunk or ice you will see trails of liquid leaking down the rear wall of fresh food compartment until it reaches the crisper drawers. Here is an example Click here=> Whirlpool Leak Photo taken by TechnicianBrian He has been around a good bit and deserves credit for his contributions. Here is another way to make this look more simple in clip below. TechnicianBrian.com And in this photo are several parts listed in photo group #1 were it is most likely running down the wall=> Magic
Chef CTB1921AR fresh food section.
If you still have questions please ask and rate me if I was able to explain this well enough. Every refrigerator is made different so these are
examples only. The key is to find if ice or just gunk has blocked you defrost
drain. Unplug and then remove the rear panel in back of freezer. We need to see
if the water is overflowing the condensate drain tray or if the blockage is in
the turn the drain leads down back of your refrigerator. This is a common tip
so I will be placing this post and add as we go new ideas listed in Sea Breeze
Tips Section. If you run into any problems along the way of repair please let
me know, Thanks, Sea Breeze

SOURCE: MAGIC CHEF FREEZER THE DOOR IS NOT OPENING FOR 8.8

If You run Your finger in between the rubber seal that is resting on the freezer and the frame of the door , the rubber seal will break lose. When you open the door the seal is attache to the door.
Just had the same problem after unboxing.
Simple, just be sure to do the entire door.

SOURCE: I have 'Magic Chef' 10.0 cu. ft. Refrigerator.

Hi,
First I would check the fan in the freezer. Listen to see if it is running
It moves air to the ref from the freezer
Then check to see if freezer control is turned WARMER, which makes the Ref. colder
Also this might be a common Defrost problem, Ice
is not being melted by the defrost system.The fan can't blow through the coils into the fridge.
Take out back panel of freezer to check for ice buildup. The coils should be clean.
There are three components to a defrost system- a heater,heater thermostat, and a timer unless you have a defrost electronic card.
Its best handled by a Technician but you could possibly do it by taking your model number to the nearest appliance parts store and asking for the parts. They are mostly located in freezer ,behind back panel on freezer coils.except the card which is usually located in ref The parts store will have info
Also check fan undernearh Ref in the rear
Clean condenser coils underneath
.I'm including my article on Refrigerator Repair for your help and convenience.;

Magic Chef Dryer model MCSDRY35W. Where can I find the thermal fuse on it please?

This says it has two. One is always on the heater box, the other one is described as 'Air Exhaust Thermal Breaker', so would suggest just after the heater box and before the drum.

https://www.washerpartsworld.com/brands/magic-chef/mcsdry35w

It may also have one that looks like this. Test all the parts with a multimeter, don't blindly replace them..

I have a Magic Chef freezer built older than 20 years. 15.2 cu. ft. pt. no. 101403-1

Hello Darrell;

My name is Peter. I am a retired field service technician.

Why do you think your Magic Chef is still working after 20 years? Your unit was manufactured with reliable cast steel components.
Do you want to purchase a new unit with more efficiency with components manufactured with plastic and cast ceramic. If you do decide to purchase a more efficient unit, do not discard your well build Magic Chef. When the new unit fails after 5 years, you will always have the older well built unit.

Magic chef dryer quit working

There is a thermal fuse inside the dryer usually located behind the back cover on the upper part of the combustion chamber. When this fuse "blows" it turns off power to the whole dryer. This keeps your house from burning to the grown, and you from dying. The fuse "blows" for a reason, most likely to is lint build-up in the dryer and/or dryer vent system. The good new it only cost a few dollars to get a new one. The bad news is you need to find out why it "blew", the dryer got to hot for a reason.

Magic chef cye2000ayw will not turn on

Aside from checking the breaker panel, it is likely the lid switch. Only other item that will cause this is the thermal fuse located on the vent after the element.

Magic chef dyer

dryers have a 'thermal fuse' that will cause the whole thing to turn off. it seems like yours has burned out. it may be caused by a restriction in airflow, so when you replace the thermal fuse make sure you clean the exhaust or the fuse may go out again.

Dryer stopped working

plumber, pop the top on the dryer by pushing on the two clips just under the top on each side. In the back you will see the heater. You want to check the high limit thermostat (this one sits on the top side of the heater) and the thermal fuse (sits on the side about 4 inches down. Unplug the dryer and check them with a meter. If either shows open (no continuity) replace them. Make sure your venting is not clogged up and the heater is not grounded or fractured. Part number for the high limit is 53-0771 and for the thermal fuse is LA-1053. Check these first...Catriver...post back. Unable to find your exact model, but I do have cye4000ayw. parts should be the same.
