Microwave door has burnt patch: is it safe to operate?
From your other post:
The
paint should be available at big box stores like Wal-Mart, home
improvement centers like Builder's Square, Lowe's, or Home Depot, or
hardware stores or local appliance parts stores.
You can order the plastic sheet (called the "door film")
here. It is part #
WB06X10490.
Be sure the mesh is clean and dry before installing the new film.
We're happy to help you and we'd appreciate your

Microwave shuts off after a few seconds
Nov 22, 2007. I also had the 3 second shut off problem with my G/E 1650 MWO. Read all the above and tried them all. Finally I just took a 8" x 8" piece of Reynolds Wrap Aluminum foil and but it in an zip lock bag and placed it behind the control panel. It's been working for 2 weeks now. Just take out the 2 screws that hold the vent across the front right above the door. Next on the right side is one screw, take it out and then gently lift the control panel (panel with the buttons) about 1/2" and it will fold out and stay there. put the zip lock bag inside. Close it back up. I'd test it before replacing all the screws. You don't need to un-plug anything. Just don't stick your fingers on all the exposed parts...Mine works great now and didn't cost $0.10.
Microwave interferes with TV
Take one fluorescent light-bulb -- not connected to anything -- and a darkened room. Start the microwave, and see if any emissions from it activate any of the fluorescent materials inside the light-bulb.
There is power to unit, but food will not heat-up
In my case, it was a high voltage fuse that had burned. The reason for that is most likely a shorted diode ($3 ebay) or shorted capacitor ($12 ebay). They are easy to locate and cheap to replace. You will need to remove the cover and use a multimeter to find the faulty part.
Stops after 4 mins
Can you hear the "whirl" of the fan? It is possible the fan is not turning & cooling the oven therefore it will shut down when it reaches a certain temperature. This could be caused by a supply fault to the fan or the fan motor, either way it would need to be tested by a qulified engineer.

Maytag microwave auto heat then turns off
We would need to know the full model number from the tag in the cooking cavity or elsewhere on the microwave, such as the door frame, controller frame, etc.Please post a new help request with that and more detailed symptoms.
Where is the fuse located in a GE spacemaker xl microwave oven
Unplug microwave, remove top, follow wiring from the keypad area to the circuit board, look for a silver rectangular high voltage capacitor, discharge across the two points, and near by look for a small fuse clipped in, pop it out and replace with same current rating. If fuse blows! one or two door switches are probably bad and will need to be replaced.
Running micrwave with no food inside
You directed this question at me, but unfortunately this isn't my expertise and I am unable to
provide you with a real solution at this time.
Hopefully one of other experts will be able to
provide you with a real solution.
Thank you for using FixYa.
