Just bought a Frigidaire GLMV169 Gold Series Over-the-Stove Microwave. Makes a strange sound like glass rubbing on glass (varible soft to loud). I tried turning the turntable off, but it was still there.

The first thing I would suggest is a hard reset. Unplug the unit for a minute or so. Then plug it back in, set the clock and try again.

Let us know if the hard reset does not fix it.

Frigidaire PLMB209DCB 1200W Microwave. Mfg 2005. Started sparking and loud popping. Scorched cardboard covering. Worth looking at to repair?

No, Your better off buying a new one. Sounds like the Magnetron is acting up and that is the most important and dangerous piece of hardware in the Microwave.

Hello there:
If your microwave oven doesn't seem to work at all, check these: Fuses Door switch Fuses 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 have a qualified appliance repair technician replace it. Door switch If the fuse isn't the problem, check the door hooks and the door-release button. When these are broken, the door switch doesn't activate, so the oven can't work.
