Microwave on the blink?

Post by Samantha Jay »

hello
thought id ask another lickle question while i'm here, my microwave doesn't work anymore, i've changed the fuse, and plugged something else into the electrical socket to make sure it works o.k. Any suggestions, should i take it to a repairer, could he fix it do you think.
Thanks

Does the door latch work ok?


It could be one of many things. Take it to the repair shop and get it looked at as it could be something simple. If it ain't a simple fault and a super duper one. It ain't gonna be worth fixing as you can get them quite cheap now.

I'd narrow it down to 3 likely causes.

Dodgy flex lead, timer unit or latch.

Sorry I couldn't be much help! :sad:
