Hi Cheryl, Thank you for your question. If your microwave is starting by itself, then there is an issue with one of the door switches and it will need to be replaced. Check to see that the switches are positioned correctly inside the microwave and that the door is completely shut. If the switches are in the correct position and the door is shutting correctly, you will need to test the door switches with a multimeter to see if they have continuity. Before removing the door switches and testing them, unplug the microwave from the electrical outlet. Set your multimeter to the Rx1 setting and ensure that the button is depressed. Touch the terminals with the meter’s probes. You should receive a reading of zero or nearly zero, indicating that there is continuity. Next, with the probes still touching the terminals, ensure the button is not pushed in, this test should indicate that there isn’t continuity. If your test results differ from those above, you will need a replacement door interlock switch. We hope this helps! If you have any questions, please let us know.

Hi Eugene, Thank you for your question. Here is some information on how to repair a microwave door latch that you may reference that may help help you access the glass, so you can clean it. Before you begin this repair, unplug the microwave from the electrical outlet and use a Phillips head screwdriver to unthread the mounting screws securing the grill. Use a putty knife to pry the vent off. With the vent removed, you can lift off the door. Place it down on a towel or blanket. Use a putty knife to help detach the inner door trim. unthread the four screws securing the inner door assembly. Use a large flat screwdriver to separate the inner door assembly from the outer door panel. Then use needle nose pliers to remove the door latch spring. Then slide the old door latch up to remove. Install the new door latch by inserting the latch tabs into the slots in the inner door assembly. Reinstall the spring and realign the inner door assembly with the outer door panel and snap it into position. Rethread the screws then align and snap the trim into place. Thread the 2 screws to secure it. Reinstall the door assembly by inserting the hinge pins into the holes in the hinges. Reinstall the front vent by aligning the top edge first and then press the bottom edge into place. Thread the 2 screws to secure. Plug the microwave back in and the repair is complete. If you have any questions, please let us know.

Hello Vern, Thank you for the question. You need to use a tamper proof torx bit to remove the screws and the outer cover to access and replace the fuse in the unit. We hope this helps.
