SOURCE: Magic Chef door switch broke

Get the model from inside the microwave door and go to the link below. They have about anything for everything. Should be pretty easy to fix. Hope this helped.

SOURCE: Magic chef microwave oven model mco160uq has power

There are three causes that come to mind, magnetron, high voltage capacitor, and high voltage diode. The diode runs off one lead to the capacitor and the other to chassis ground, sometimes cracks or shorts, the capacitor "silver and rectangular" usually shorts, the magnetron will open in most cases. Unplug microwave, short out capacitor with a screwdriver to remove residual voltage, test with a digital meter, set to ohms and unhook one side of part before test in each case.

SOURCE: Magic Chef MCO160UQ Carousel turning slowly

The turnable motor is going, the buzzing indicates the magnetron is about to fail. I suggest using the microwave oven until it dies and replace it, not cost effective to repair.

SOURCE: My Magic Chef microwave tripped a breaker,I found a melted door switch and replaced it, the other three test ok.With the door closed everything works like new. When the door is opened the breaker blow

The only thing I can think of is check to make sure all switches are aligned correctly otherwise you will keep tripping the breaker, I'am certain that one of your switches are not properly in position.

Magic chef MCD1611ST microwave, the display lights up, the time and powerlevel can be set, the light works when the door is open but when i hit start everything shuts off. Any suggestions?

There are a lot of possible causes, but I'd look at the door switches first, and the wiring connectors to them. Make sure the contacts on all the switches are opening and closing.

If you need further help, I’m available over the phone at https://www.6ya.com/expert/david_29ad5d1dd86564b0

The microwave fuse keeps blowing up. Any idea why?

My Magic Chef microwave keeps blowing fuses (5 fuses) when close the door. Anybody has any idea? It is the first and last time time that I buy Magic Chef's products if their enginers don't come out with a solution because I just got it just over a year.
Thanks for your time and your expertise.
