Microwave Fault Diagnosis
Microwave ovens are one of the most dangerous appliances to repair. Under fault conditions, the high-voltage capacitor can store a potentially lethal charge for an indefinite period.
Specialised equipment and knowledge are needed to discharge it safely because simply shorting it out may cause it to explode.
Also, any components or wiring connected to the capacitor may present the same danger. Only the tasks suggested here can be performed safely.
Choose your specific fault for likely causes and solutions.
