No power in microwave - vm11b8p magic chef
The incoming power wire goes onto a small pc board, the fuse is located onto that small pc board. If it is not visible then you have to remove it and turn the board around. You should locate it on the other side
My sister operated the Magic Chef Microwave, Model MC0165UB, without any food inside and now it won't heat. What is the likely problem?
The diode converts the A/C power output of the transformer to D/C, doubling the voltage to nearly 5,000 volts. This high voltage powers the magnetron to heat the food. If the diode burns out, the magnetron won't receive enough voltage to operate, preventing the microwave from heating. When the diode fails, it is often visibly burned out. Inspect the diode and if the diode is burned out, replace it. If inspecting the diode proves inconclusive, test it with a multimeter that uses a 9-volt battery or put a 9-volt battery in series with the diode. When the leads are reversed, the diode should only have continuity in one direction. (Warning: The microwave oven can store a lethal amount of electricity in its high voltage capacitor, even after the microwave oven has been unplugged. Due to the high running voltage and the potential for electric shock, it is extremely dangerous to replace the electronic components in a microwave. Only a licensed technician should replace the diode.)
Setting clock
It depends on the brand and model.
Normally it's a sequence like:
CLOCK > 1
> 2 > 3 > CLOCK
CLOCK > 1
> 2 > 3 > START
CLOCK > CLEAR
> 1 > 2 > 3 > CLOCK
CLOCK > CLEAR
> 1 > 2 > 3 > START
If not, please post a new inquiry with your correct brand and model.

Timer changing but microwave is not turning on?
Hello :
It's a bad door switch or loose door switch mount . There are plastic mounts inside the microwave which hold the door switches and onto which the door latches lock when you close the door.
The screws on these mounts may be loose. If they get too loose, the switches will not be activated properly .
WARNING : A microwave oven is capable of giving you a serious electrical shock, even when it is unplugged. I strongly recommend you seek the assistance of an appliance repair technician when conducting any microwave oven repair .
good luck .
please rate !
Theres no power getting to
Pl. check mains supply and the plug of the microwave if every thing o.k check the fuse provided inside the oven,if o.k then the problem in the control panel,check the panel by replacing the same .
