The most common breakdowns

Any microwave has a service life, after which different nodes can break. If the warranty is over, and the problem is simple, try to solve it on your own. To cope with the task you will need:

• schematic representation of the device;
• instructions for a specific modification.

The most common breakdowns:

• The stove heats dishes, not food. Probably low voltage in the network – buy an uninterruptible power supply. Overloads in the network are possible – this is observed when several electrical appliances are turned on at the same time in one outlet. To solve the problem, it is enough to turn on household appliances in separate sockets.
• Door won’t close. Perhaps the latches are faulty – change the locks.

A capacitor or a high-voltage diode can break in a microwave. Magnetron fails. – all this can be replaced by ordering the appropriate spare part from the Rolsen service center.

There are more complex breakdowns. It is not recommended to eliminate them yourself, it is better to contact specialists. When repairing yourself, be sure to unplug the device and take the instructions with which you can find the necessary spare parts.

Important! If the microwave oven breaks down, call the wizard as soon as possible – unprofessional repairs threaten not only to aggravate the situation, but also to violate safety regulations with corresponding consequences.

Why the microwave oven breaks

Practical observations have shown that the common causes of wear of parts are:

• cooking raw eggs;
• the use of dishes with a metallic coating;
• idle work;
• heating liquids in hermetically sealed containers.

How to disassemble a microwave

Disassembly is a last resort. Usually they resort to it in critical cases, when the stove does not work at all. The procedure is as follows:

• Unscrew the screws from the side and rear walls of the case.
• Take off the casing. To do this, it is first shifted back a little, and then lifted. To avoid problems, it is recommended to first discharge the capacitor. This operation must be performed with a special screwdriver with a dielectric handle.
• If you need to remove the front panel during disassembly, you will need to remove the control unit. To complete the task, all wires are disconnected from the unit, the screws are unscrewed and then the panel is removed.

Reviews

MG2380SK: Valentin R., Kurgan

We bought it, coveting the external beauty and functionality. Good price, no noise. Deficiencies were identified later. Firstly, typos remain on the panel – you have to rub it all the time. Any dirt is immediately noticeable on the gloss. When grilled, the crust is not crispy and beautiful enough. Inconvenient vertical arrangement of buttons. They do not press well, you need to press with force. Weakly heats up, you have to wait a long time, and even add time on the timer to warm something up. The power of the oven is not enough – everything warms up for a very long time.

MG2590SA: Larisa M., Murom

The stove is powerful and heats food quickly. Half a minute is enough for the food to become warm. Beautiful design. Does not satisfy the build quality – cracks! Very noisy and buzzing during operation, squeaks when you press the buttons.

Conclusion

In order for a reliable and functional assistant to appear in the kitchen, which allows you to facilitate and speed up the cooking process, it is not at all necessary to spend money on expensive brands. Today, domestic companies offer decent equipment at reasonable prices.
