Repairing arc burn marks inside the microwave cavity of your Magic Chef range/microwave combo

• For microwaves that are not stainless steel on the inside, you can repair arc marks up to the size of a quarter using this touch-up paint, but only if the marks appear on the inside walls, the floor, or the ceiling. Don't attempt repairs on the outer frame, or the door. Any repairs to the door or frame could affect the shielding and cause radiation leaks. And don’t attempt repairs on burn marks larger than a quarter, as that could be a sign of a more serious problem and should be checked out by a service technician. Also, don't use this repair on microwaves with a stainless steel the inside, because the paint won’t stick.
• Clean the area using soapy water and dry the spot thoroughly.
• Sand the burnt spot down to bare metal using a fine grit sand paper. Wipe the area clean to remove any residue.
• Apply a thin coat of microwave cavity touch up paint. Wait for 5 minutes to allow the first coat of paint to dry. Reapply a second coat of microwave cavity touch-up paint. Be sure to wait 24 hours for the paint to dry before using your microwave.

Troubleshooting your Magic Chef range/microwave combo when the oven won't heat

• Confirm the power supply. Make sure that you have 240 volts of power going to the range. Check both house circuit breakers for the range and reset any tripped breaker.
• Unplug the range and check the bake element. Replace the bake element if it's visibly broken or damaged.
• Remove the upper back panel. Unplug the element wires from the electronic control board. Use a multimeter to measure the resistance through the yellow and orange wires that go to the bake element. Your meter should read about 16 ohms of resistance through that circuit. If your meter measures around 16 ohms of resistance, then the bake element circuit is okay. Now, if you read no continuity, when you checked the bake element from the control board, then you probably have a broken bake element or a wiring failure in that circuit. Check the resistance of the bake element directly at the element terminal ends. If your meter reads "OL," replace the bake element. This video will show you how.
