How to fix your Hotpoint range/microwave combo when it won't work at all

When your range/microwave combo doesn't work at all, it's likely that the range has no electrical power for the display or controls. Possible causes are a tripped house circuit breaker for the range, a problem with the outlet cord (not plugged in or broken) or an internal wiring failure. A blown thermal fuse can prevent the control from powering up on some ranges. Some ranges have a relay control board that supplies power to the display and controls so a failed relay control board could prevent the range from working.

Unplug the range and check he terminal block on the back of the range for loose wires or broken terminals. Replace the terminal block if damaged.

Repairing arc burn marks inside the microwave cavity of your Hotpoint 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.
