Have checked voltage to the upper microswitch in door, also to main power board at the top next to magnetron (also checked the fuse...20A/220v ceramic)... all good... have not totally taken it off the wall yet... any clues would be appreciated :D

Rank: Member Groups: Registered Joined: 9/24/2009(UTC) Posts: 8		I took the cover off and started to check things out, I found that the Thermal Cutout attached to the magnetron, was supposed to be normally closed and it was open... So, I need to get that part, as when I bypassed it, everything worked... it's funny how just making a bag of popcorn could've blown that thermal cutout... but I have it bypassed for now till I get the part then will pull all apart again to replace it... the number on the cutout is an NT-101...will have to look it up. Thanks again for all your help... you guys are great!! Peter
