My Dacor microwave drawer will not open. Can I pull it out by hand?

Do not force it, because that can strip the gears in the drawer mechanism. Turn the breaker off for a minute and try again, and check that nothing inside is wedged against the top. If it still will not move, the drawer motor or its control needs testing.

My over-the-range microwave in East Charlotte runs but doesn't heat. Is it fixable?

Often, yes. A failed door switch, high-voltage diode or magnetron can cause it, and the switch is the least expensive of those. We test each part and compare the repair cost with replacing an over-the-range unit, which involves removing and remounting it.

Why does the microwave in our apartment keep blowing a fuse?

Frequent use wears the door switches, and a failing switch often blows the main fuse. Replacing just the fuse usually does not last. If you rent, let your landlord know, since the owner typically books and approves the repair.

Dacor Microwaves: What We Check First

Dacor's microwaves are almost always built-ins: microwave drawers installed under a counter or wall oven, and speed ovens that combine microwave and convection heating in a wall-oven-style cabinet. They look like part of the oven stack, so owners sometimes do not realize how different the inside is. A microwave stores high voltage in its capacitor even when unplugged, which is why this appliance is not one for home repair.

Drawer motor or gear assembly stalling the microwave drawer
Worn door interlock switch preventing the microwave from starting
Magnetron humming without heating or high-voltage diode failure
Speed oven convection element or fan failing separately from microwave

The full explanation, including what you can safely check yourself and when repair beats replacement, is in our Dacor microwave repair guide.

Daily Use and Over-the-Range Wear

In a household where several people reheat meals every day, the microwave door is opened constantly, so door latches and the switches behind them fail more often than anything else. Updated ranch kitchens and townhomes in 28212 and 28215 often have an over-the-range model that also vents the stove, and grease and steam from heavy cooking clog its filters and wear the fan motor. A microwave that sparks usually has a damaged waveguide cover or food buildup inside, and it should not be used until it is cleaned or checked.

What Is Safe to Check and When to Call

Never open the outer case, because the capacitor inside can hold a dangerous charge long after the unit is unplugged. You can reset the breaker, clean the interior and the grease filters and confirm the door shuts firmly. If it still will not heat, we test the switches, fuse, diode and magnetron. We tell you plainly when a countertop unit is cheaper to replace than repair.
