Still Dead Microwave

[normadesmond]

Hell-o again! Yes, I still have my beautiful late 1970s Quasar InstaMatic microwave oven sitting downstairs, sad & forlorn and still non-operative. I'm in the Twin Cities & every so often google, trying to find someone that might try & fix my oven.

Any suggestions will be most appreciated!

It's likely that the Magnatron might have failed, or the control panel electronics have an issue.
Also the rectifier or main capacitor could have shorted, and blew the fuse.
These are all common problems we've dealt with in my repair shop.

Faulty door switch(es), fuse, capacitor are all easily repairable. Locating a magnetron could be a task.

Is the timer mechanical or does it use a touch pad controls?

I believe it's a touch pad style, so the electronics may have issues.
