Turntable spigget arced & burned black even after wire brush cleaning arcing occurred on Hamilton beach microwave

If the turntable spigot on your Hamilton Beach microwave has arced and burned even after cleaning it with a wire brush, it indicates a potential issue with the electrical connection or the turntable motor. Here are a few steps you can take to address the problem:
  1. Disconnect Power: Before proceeding with any repairs, ensure that the microwave is completely disconnected from the power source to avoid any risk of electric shock.
  2. Inspect the Turntable Spigot: Carefully examine the turntable spigot for any signs of damage, such as burn marks or melted plastic. If the spigot is severely damaged, it may need to be replaced. Contact Hamilton Beach customer support or a qualified technician to inquire about replacement parts and proper installation.
  3. Check the Wiring: Inspect the wiring connections near the turntable motor for any loose, frayed, or damaged wires. If you notice any issues, they should be repaired or replaced by a professional technician to ensure safe operation.
  4. Test the Turntable Motor: The turntable motor may be faulty and causing the arcing issue. To test the motor, you will need a multimeter to check for continuity and proper functioning. However, this requires electrical knowledge and experience, so it's best to consult a qualified technician for assistance.
  5. Seek Professional Assistance: If the arcing issue persists after performing the above steps, it is recommended to contact Hamilton Beach customer support or a professional technician. They will have the expertise to diagnose the problem accurately and perform any necessary repairs or replacements.

Why Does My Sharp Microwave Turntable Get Hot?

I hope you didn't run the microwave with nothing in the cavity, if you did, it will damage the magnetron. The turntable dishes do get hot depending on the quality of the glass used to make it. Heat is caused by impurities in the glass. If you run it with no food in the oven, the glass will try to absorb the energy with atastrophic results usually.

My Miele H6800BM microwave stopped heating. Over and everything works fine but when we switch to microwave function and set time, it starts running but it doesn't heat.

If your Miele H6800BM microwave is no longer heating food and there is a noticeable change in its operation, it is likely that there is a malfunction or component failure specifically related to the microwave function. Here are a few potential causes for the issue: 1. Magnetron Failure: The magnetron is a crucial component responsible for generating the microwave energy that heats the food. If the magnetron has malfunctioned or failed, it can result in the microwave not heating. 2. High Voltage Diode Failure: The high voltage diode in the microwave circuitry is responsible for converting the AC power supply to the high voltage DC power required by the magnetron. A faulty diode can prevent the magnetron from receiving the necessary power and thus lead to no heating. 3. Faulty Capacitor: Capacitors in the microwave circuit store and release electrical energy. If a capacitor associated with the microwave function is defective, it can prevent the microwave from generating the required power for heating. Given the symptoms you described, it is likely that there is an issue with one of these components. It is recommended to contact a qualified technician or the manufacturer's customer support to inspect and repair the microwave. They will have the expertise and necessary equipment to diagnose and resolve the specific problem with your Miele H6800BM microwave.

Is my microwave mica plate good?

The black marks are burnt debris caused by splashing inside the oven. (Cling film usually stops this). The waveguide cover, refered to as mica, has nothing to do with the actions of the magnetron, it is there to stop particles of food from entering the waveguide.

My N'finity wine refrigerator just stopped completely. Can't even get any lights to go on on panel. A second cooler, plugged into the same circuit breaker continues to work perfectly.

Wine coolers can stop cooling for six common reasons - A break in electricity, compressor problems, capacitor problems, the condenser fan stops working, a defective thermostat, or a broken evaporator. Most of these problems can be troubleshot at home, but a technician is needed for advanced issues.

Meile G870SC stopped working, has power on cord, no lights on door. Is there an internal fuse?

Consumer fuses are normally on the rear where the power lead goes in. It is a small screw cap or a long pull out fuse with a small notch in the end. If there is an internal fuse, it will be on the main circuit board. Getting inside is normally not easy because of security screws. https://www.fixya.com/support/r29874712-repairing_microwave_ovens ..

Microwave let's you set the time to cook but when you press the button to start the process nothing happens

Try a power disconnect at the plug socket for 5 minutes. If that doesn't reset it, you will need a local repairer. The most likely reason is a door safety micro-switch has failed or moved out of adjustment. There are normally three on the door and hinges to prevent operation with an open door. https://www.fixya.com/support/r29874712-repairing_microwave_ovens ..
