I have a Moulinex GENIUS 2000, althou being an old model it has a year use only. two month ago stopped sudenly and cannot start it again. I took the machine to the Moulinex repair shop an the attendant to9ld me to throu it away because has not repar. I realy do not believe this. Can you tell me if this is true or false?

My immediate reaction would be to cut your losses and buy a new unit as sooner or later you will run into a part that is no longer available.

At 17 years old, replacement would be appropriate.

The defrost cycle is not working. After a predetermined number of hours of compressor running time, a timer actuates the defrost cycle, which stops the compressor and turns on a heating element to melt the ice. Either the timer or heating element is not working. Also, make sure the melted ice water is actually draining and not re-freezing.

throw it away!!

Well, I think you should get a brand new one.
They do not cost as much to replace these days and it might be safer.

See if this describes what's happening:

• Put in time, push start and unit runs for 2 seconds, relay clicks, unit goes off. Cook time on display goes off and clock time comes back. Bad upper interlock switch and charred connector.

If so, see http://www.microwavedisplay.com/safety.txt , http://www.microwavedisplay.com/disassembly.txt and http://www.microwavedisplay.com/doorsw.txt

Otherwise, if the digital programmer circuit / controller does not get a feedback signal from the inverter for a period of 3 seconds, the controller will stop the cook cycle.

That may be a loose connection in the wiring between the inverter, magnetron, and/or control board, or maybe one of those components has failed.

Due to the lethal voltages used and produced in inverters, I do not recommend that an inexperienced person work on these.

Sorry but if the fuse is good your out of luck. but ck. the fuse first. best reguards DFD

It should have a one-year warranty on parts and labor.

I'd call Emerson at 1-800-695-0098 to find your nearest authorized service center to have it fixed free.

It's probably a bad door switch or door switch mount.

no solution sorry but we also have a Neff mw/combi oven which keeps blowing for no apparent reason, the Neff repair man has looked at it 4 times and practically replaced every component -power module, operating module,relay board, door switches but it`s just gone again! The model is a H5972N0GB/01 and it is approx 3 yrs old, no problem for the first 2 years .Time to write to Neff -is yours the same model?

check mains fuse and check control circuit and magnetron. and diodes capacitor  high voltage related circuit. small part also gone microwaveoven doesnot works, first check oven and conform which part was spoiled, after that this is worth or not old ovens good compaare to new ones...
