The Unit is a Sharp Carousel II
Well there are 3 pads or keys across the top, express defrost, clock
and minuit plus and they quit working. every so often they will work,
seems more like maybe after I have been running the oven.
It still works and heats up is I set the time manually and hit start,
but the minuit plus
defrost and clock across the top will not work.
Is there an easy way to open this thing up and look at it?
Thanks, Tony

Disconnect any cables and plugs associated with the front panel and
clean with contact cleaner. If this doesnt fix it get a new microwave.
You may be able to replace the whole panel but last I checked they
were about $100 USD.

the front panel?

Yes, but since you had to ask dont do it. uwave oven can be dangerous
for those without proper training and experience.

Totally agree. Microwaves have been described as 'The most dangerous
domestic appliance ever invented'.

They can cook meat (or you) in seconds and fry your eyeballs; you do
want cataracts?

They are essentially a 1000 watt radio transmitter, with up to 5000
volts DC; inside a metal box.

As a trained electronics/transmitter technician, IF I work on them it
is with great care and keeping my distance anytime the cover is off!
And getting the cover back on to avoid radiation leaks can be
tricky.

The cost of new ones now so low that, regrettably, probably not worth
working on them.

OK Well maybe this time I will not be stubborn and just not work on
it.
I know I had another one, one time, and I took the cover off to change
a bulb, and it *seemed* OK..........
