Still Dead Microwave

[spin-cycle]

hi,
It sounds like you are not interested in doing the repair yourself?

If are going to repair yourself (you have some mechanical and electrical/electronic experience)

I suggest you be clear about that and say so.



For those that are getting into microwaves, there is typically a high voltage capacitor, - safety issue !

These are usually with a slow self discharge resistor, which you should never trust.

Treat it with respect! It typically can have approx 2,500 volts on it when charged.



If it has touch pad it could be the board that interfaces with the touch pad.

Small low voltage capacitors can be an issue with age.

Are you getting into this yourself?

I wrote earlier that I have no electronic repair skills and yes, I became aware of the resistor long ago & realize one could kill oneself. I did replace a fuse years back which went well. I do believe this problem is the touch pad since I can set the clock but little else. I've been hoping that there was a talented person, in my vicinity, who tackled repair on vintage appliances.
