Microwave: Microwave seems to come on, but only heats occasionally?

Sun, 27 Jul 2025 06:50:24 -0700

I have a Kitchenaid Microwave KEMS378GSS0. So the lights on, the fan's running, and the carousel is turning, but only intermittent heating. Before you jump in with the magnetron needs replacing, please read on. The thing is, I've found pushing on the door handle or a light 'thump', is usually enough to start the microwave heating when it's not (or stop it sometimes, if it was heating.) There's a noticeable 'thrum' (noise of some electrical part engaging) when that happens, even after the microwave has already started. I figure it's either a bad sensor or a mechanical issue like a loose connection or bad switch... but I was hoping to narrow it down before pulling out and apart our 8 year old built-in combination microwave & oven.

I do have some (slight) experience with repair work and circuits, but the expanded parts diagram really doesn't help show how everything is connected. At the moment the best I can come up with is one of the three microswitches that are part of the latching assembly serves as an additional safety keeping the magnetron from engaging and it's going bad?? That's where I'm stuck. It's the best I can guess at, but it doesn't make sense to me why the microwave would come on at all instead of just reporting a door open error if one of the switches was intermittently working.

So I'm here looking for experience with microwaves... Someone familiar with their design and/or repair who might make other suggestions as to what to look for when I do try and fix this beast. Or maybe someone that can confirm if it makes sense that one of the latch microswitches going bad (sticking, whatever) could in fact allow the microwave to come on but not heat up.

Thanks for reading,

Dan

Fellow Stagg EKG Electric Kettle: Kettle won’t heat, base is fine

Thu, 29 May 2025 02:23:34 -0700

Hello,

Fellow has sent me thru the normal rigamorole with descaling, and when that didn’t work, sending a replacement base. The kettle is the problem, and now they are offering to replace the kettle. But I want mine to work, I don’t want to throw another unrecyclable piece of trash into the landfills.

Does anyone know how to start investigating what’s wrong with it, or anyone else who has successfully repaired a Fellow Kettle?

Thank you!

One of the activators has been forced while it was stuck. This resulted in the perforation of the top of the small plastic cylinder which holds a spring. As a result the lach is loose and does not play its role of actionating the switch. I need to buy the broken parts. Where can I find it ?

This is for a Magic Chef model MCWC50DST wine cooler. The unit stops working with a "EFF" error on the digital temp display randomly. It will restart when the power cord is disconnected and plugging in again. It runs OK for a few days and then EFF again!

I keep the coils free of dust frequently.
