Daewoo Microwave Ovens - Popular Questions, Answers, Tips & Manuals
Daewoo KOR-7LREM Retro micro
Sporadic:sometimes heats up the food & most of the time doesn't heat like it should-have to add time to the recommended time but getting increasingly unreliable.
Does it have a turn table that spins your food container? If so, does it turn? If not, you are getting a solid directed beam of microwaves focused on one part of your food leaving the rest of it ignored. If it doesn't have a turn table, it will have a wave spreader inside which is nothing more than an aluminum fan that is sometimes driven by a small motor and rubber belt. You won't see this as it is inside the chamber that contains the magnetron that generates the microwaves. These belts can break allowing a solid, focused microwave beam to shine on your food rather than be distributed around the oven, again, leaving the rest unwarmed. If this is the case, using the oven can damage it over time. If you don't know what you are doing, DO NOT try to repair it yourself!!! If you don't get the outer casing back together properly, you can expose yourself and / or your family to dangerous amounts of microwave radiation. You should take it to a qualified service center for repair but I would venture a guess that it is already damaged because of your statement "but getting increasingly unreliable". Even if it isn't damaged, it will probably cost you more in labor to fix it than it would cost to replace it. Good luck.
Microwave shuts off during use
These units have an issue with the microwave generator overheating. When this happens the unit shuts down to prevent damage to it. When it cools off, it comes back on. That part called a magnetron is not listed to for purchase.
My Daewoo Micro Wave Was Spitting Flames Last Night Due To A Hole In The Wave Plate
Hello Stephanie.
Get a new filter and try again.
Otherwise scrap the micro.
It the filter plate rusted through, or is it burnt?
The microwave's Magnetron-wave-guide is just behind this filter plate.
Looks like a small tube with a silvery cap with hole in center.
Very hazardous condition here.
The high energy from it is damped by the filter.
Is there food in the micro when arcing happens?
An empty micro will arc.
Inside my Daewoo KOR-6Q27
I have painted many Microwave oven cavities. You have to sand down the pealed off rusted areas and completely clean and degrease. Before painting, I use laquer thinner as a cleaner degreaser. Fumes can be a bit strong but it has worked well of me. I normally buy an automotive spray paint. They have a lot of different colors and a lot of the import colors can really come close to the color inside the microwave. Spray on thin layers till you get good coverage and make sure you let it dry thoroughly before trying to use. The paint in a Microwave isi not a special microwave energy protective paint. it is only there to make it look pretty and protect the metal. So a good automotive paint normally works fine.
