Does it do anything or is it completely dead?

It has a thermal cutout that will activate if the filters or hoses or passages are clogged. The cutout will automatically reset after an hour or two.

Microwave oven not turning on: repair or replace?

W

wirawan0 on Jun 10, 2016

I have a Frigidaire over-the-range microwave oven (model FFMV162LSA) that is dead. It would not turn on. I checked the fuse, it is still working. At first, after I disconnected the power plug for awhile (many minutes) then re-plug the power cord, it seemed to power on again. But when I pressed any button on the control panel, it died. Now it basically would not turn on; any function (including fan, light, etc) is not working. Question: can somebody give me a point to the right direction, if repairing is feasible. I am concerned that calling a repairman would cost almost as getting a new device. Is this correct? Insight into replace or repair would also be appreciated. WirawanRead More

Mini Wine Fridge Buzz, No Display, No Cooling (Frigidaire 8 Bottle)

bbddpp on Jul 30, 2016

I messed up I think. My mini 8-bottle countertop frigidaire wine fridge wasn't cooling so I pulled it out and realized the back mesh and inside the fan were coated in dust. Removing the dust seemed to fix the cooling but then I decided to take it a step further, removed the back panel, wiped the plastic inside compressor fan with a damp cloth (not soaking just damp) and blew some compressed air in there to kick out the dust. Reassembled and now, the fridge kicks on for a second (display and all) when I plug it in, but then within 1-2 seconds the display goes dead, it emits a small buzzing noise, and the fan runs but nothing else. It's almost as if something is shorting out but I have no idea. Anything I can try before I have to junk it? It was working great after clearing the dust, I just got too enthusiastic in cleaning out the insides and I suppose touched something that was delicate. Much thanks for any advice! B.Read More
