Dacor countertop microwave repair and replacement parts

Dacor countertop microwaves simplify the process of defrosting, cooking and reheating foods. The large capacity of many Dacor microwave models lets owners cook foods for their families quickly and easily. When your Dacor microwave breaks down, find the repair parts you need to fix the problem at Sears PartsDirect.

Defrosting tips for your Dacor countertop microwave

  • When using Auto Defrost, enter the net weight of the portion that you're defrosting (the weight of the food minus the weight of the container).
  • Make sure that you remove any metal such as twist ties from the item before starting the microwave.
  • Leave the container lid open. Slit or pierce plastic packaging. Slit the skins of foods such as sausages.
  • As food begins to defrost, separate the pieces of food so items defrost more easily.
  • Turn food over halfway through the defrost process to evenly defrost items top to bottom.
  • Let food stand for several minutes after defrosting.

Repairing arc burn marks inside the cavity of your Dacor countertop microwave

  • 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.
