What this family is
The MT label covers the models listed in the table below, and they are countertop microwaves rather than a single machine. A countertop machine is plugged into whatever socket is free, and the supply changes what it can do before anything inside it does.
What goes wrong on these models, and where each fault is covered
- Runs but does not heat — The turntable turns and the light works while the food stays cold. — Slug: avanti-avanti-microwave-mt-microwave-heating-failure — Title: Avanti MT Microwave: Not Heating
- No response at all — A machine that works sometimes and not others, which is a different fault from one that is dead. — Slug: avanti-avanti-microwave-mt-microwave-wont-start — Title: Avanti MT Microwave: Will Not Start or No Power
- Door, latch and seal problems — A door that has to be lifted slightly before it will close. — Slug: avanti-avanti-microwave-mt-microwave-door-seal — Title: Avanti MT Microwave: Door, Latch or Seal Fault
- Tripping, sparks, heat or smell — Sparking that continues with an empty cavity and nothing metal in it. — Slug: avanti-avanti-microwave-mt-microwave-electrical-safety — Title: Avanti MT Microwave: Electrical, Fire or Gas Hazard
Problem classes in frequency order on the MT family
- Runs but does not heat — Leads on the MT numbers, because a countertop machine is plugged into whatever socket is free, and the supply changes what it can do before anything inside it does.
- No response at all — Uncommon, and usually resolved from the panel or the consumer unit rather than inside the appliance.
- Door, latch and seal problems — A smaller class by volume and the one with the highest stakes, because the door is what contains the field.
- Tripping, sparks, heat or smell — Infrequent, and usually about the socket and the circuit rather than the appliance itself.

What is owner work on these models
On this family the owner's side of the line is everything you can reach without a panel coming off: the socket, the door latch, the settings and the sealing face of the door. The line itself is the outer case, because the high-voltage capacitor behind it holds a charge after the machine is unplugged.
