If your Buffalo microwave's light is on but it refuses to start cooking, it's often down to a worn door interlock. This little lever is the key component that tells the machine the door is safely shut. It’s a common wear-and-tear part but thankfully, it's a quick and simple fix to get you back up and running.
Installation & Maintenance
- Always disconnect power before starting any repair.
- A simple screwdriver is usually all that's needed.
- Check for alignment before reassembling the door panel.
- Test door opens and closes smoothly post-install.
