Can I fix my microwave?

Question

It is a Kenmore countertop model 66201. The light and timer work, but the table will not turn and food will not heat up.

Answer 1

Do not listen to most of the answers here, I have fixed thousands of M/W ovens. The line fuse is good since you have lights, if you do not have the knowledge to repair this appliance it takes special training to repair. M/W ovens have a step up transformer and produce 4800 volts and a high voltage capacitor that stores voltage even when not plugged in. Most cases it will be wise to replace counter top models since the price has come down so much. Please do not try to repair yourself, there are NO fuses in the high volt side.  

Answer 2

No radiation lol  cost more for the magnetron tube than it does to get a new micro. but check the warranty. most Kenmore's have a 3 year warranty on the magnetron tube

Answer 3

no it's cheap to get a new one

Answer 4

You don't want to expose yourself to any radiation.

Answer 5

i would see if ur still in ur warranty and u might be able to get it fixed for free...

Answer 6

There are fuses inside.  If you open it up, check the fuses with a meter and make sure you seal it back up correctly (all screws tight) before trying it.
