Changing microwave in 3200 SCR

[HavaMax]

I want to change the microwave in my 3200 SCR. The problem is that the original samsung is only about 9 1/2 inches tall, I cant find anything that small. I don't want to change any counter top or cupboard space, anybody have any ideas. The admiral is even willing to replace with a toaster oven?!?! Not too sure about that plan.....jesse

Hi I had the same problem with the micro wave oven in my 3000CSR. (I just could not fined a unit small enough too fit in) I am in Australia (240 v) I purchased the Maxum last year from the US and the micro wave with every thing else is 110 v. what I did was use the original Samsung smaller frame and retro fitted all the equipment out of the slightly large unit into it , every thing fitted straight in, now I have the original frame that fits into the opening with 240 v running gear, mined you I am an electrician, and would not suggest doing this if you have no competent or skills in this area ( the Dona micro wave oven came from a curb side collection ,so with a bit of recycling I saved a little head ache and helped the planet.)

The space opening is right at 9 5/8in. and the original samsung is 9 1/2in. Thanks for the replies, I will keep lookin.....jesse

Thanks Cymru.......I will have to take a real close look at this. Just might do the job!! jesse

Seems the tappans have been discontinued.....

[Cymru]

Shame. That was about the only 9.5" (0.5 cu ft.) around that I saw. The closest I could find to that was a 10 1/4" here; http://www.ajmadison.com/cgi-bin/ajm...tml?mv_pc=ysho

Do you think you could get the original repaired?

[HavaMax]

Maybe repair is the way to go.....but I was hoping that a new one would fit. Price wise, new over repair, but may have to repair....

[Cymru]

You're right, repair will probably cost more than a new unit but a retrofit of a new larger model would be no fun either. Wht's the model number of the existing one? Maybe some snooping with that could produce soem better results?

[HavaMax]

It is a Samsung MW2000U......

So what is realy wrong with your micro wave ( I still have the 110v internals here some were and you can have them ifit will can help you) you just need to pay the post, let me know what is wrong.

[HavaMax]

When I turn it on it sounds like a spoon is inside. Lots of arcing noise, dont leave it on more than a couple of seconds......would love to just find a new one that fits!!!!

[TonyA]

Sorry for the long delay I took some pics of what is inside of the M / Wave but I haven’t worked out how to use the new format for the pics !help, any way the only moving parts are 1 the plate drive motor and 2 the exhaust fan(upper front r.h.s.) I suspect the little exhaust fan may be hitting something inside. Apart from the 2 x motors there are only limit switches, thermal switches, a globe, the temp/time controller and the M /wave modulator I will try and get the pics up so you can see what I mean! help help how I load them lol

"It looks like there's lightning (arcing) inside my microwave":

When you see arcing inside your microwave, it's because of food or liquid left in the cavity or on the wave-guide cover: If the wave guide has any burn spots, replace it and clean the unit well. If the cavity has any burn spots, spot-sand it smooth and touch it up with microwave interior paint. Note… If there are any burn holes in the cavity, don't use the unit-seek help from a qualified appliance repair technician.

I dont actually see any arching, but not really looking either.....the sounds bad enough!! I will double check the inside closely and reclean everything. I will be down at the boat tomorrow, will report back....
