Open siemens microwave oven - Siemens HF17055GB Microwave Oven

In my over 30 years of repairing microwave ovens, I have never seen such a feature.

Your dealer or the manufacturer may have a satisfaction guarantee that would allow you to return this one in favor of a model you like better, assuming you get to try them out first.

How to use lemons and vinegar to remove odours in your microwave

I uploaded a Dutch manual here: https://www.gebruikershandleiding.com/Siemens-HF-24052/preview-handleiding-1014131.html

Have a shop look at this---there usually is a recessed safety switch inside the jam that will prevent the unit from working with door open--sounds like the problem may be with it.

Most major manufacturers supply manuals online so if you were to log on to the manufacturer's web site, you may be pleasantly surprised as usually, if available, one is able to download, by model number, Customer Instruction Manuals, Dealer Network for spare part supplies as required.

The information is normally free of charge.

I hope this helps.

I've the same problem. Inside glass broke while heating.

If it's making sparkles, it's about to die. Time for a new one.

Sounds like a faulty thermal cutout switch. Take it to a repairer.

If your oven door has gotten bent or warped (maybe you rested something heavy on it…), you need to remove the door, disassemble it, and straighten it. You can lift most oven doors off of their hinges by opening the door several inches to its first "stop," and lifting the entire door straight up.

If the hinges have become worn, damaged, or bent, you probably need to replace them. We recommend replacing both hinges at the same time, to prevent uneven wear of the undamaged hinge.
