Microwave stopped working yesterday - timer works, light comes on but no heat and turntable doesn't move.
Opened it up and found the top microswitch connector is burnt i.e. the white plastic housing is black and crispy. All microswitches appear to be working normally. Fuse not blown. I've cleaned the connector, reinstalled and powered up. Everything seems to be working again normally.
BUT - obviously something caused the connector to arc and melt. Any ideas? Could this just be a temporary fix due to opening up and cleaning everything?
I plan to wrap the now exposed connector with electrical tape - is this good enough?
Thanks for any advice.
