What this family is
The Bertazzoni TM microwave family covers the model numbers listed below. Unlike most appliances, almost nothing on this one is owner-serviceable: the high-voltage capacitor holds a lethal charge after unplugging, so the cabinet stays closed regardless of the fault.
What goes wrong on this platform
- Runs but does not heat — The control circuit is fine and the cooking circuit is not. — Slug: bertazzoni-bertazzoni-microwave-tm-microwave-heating-failure — Title: Bertazzoni TM Microwave: Not Heating
- Will not start — The interlock chain fails safe, so a door slightly out of alignment reads as open. — Slug: bertazzoni-bertazzoni-microwave-tm-microwave-wont-start — Title: Bertazzoni TM Microwave: Will Not Start or No Power
- Door will not latch, or is damaged — The door is part of the shielding rather than a cover, so this is a safety page as much as a repair page. — Slug: bertazzoni-bertazzoni-microwave-tm-microwave-door-seal — Title: Bertazzoni TM Microwave: Door, Latch or Seal Fault
- Sparking, arcing or a burning smell — Metal in the cavity and a scorched waveguide cover explain most arcing; a burning smell from the cabinet is the serious version. — Slug: bertazzoni-bertazzoni-microwave-tm-microwave-electrical-safety — Title: Bertazzoni TM Microwave: Electrical, Fire or Gas Hazard

Where the owner side ends on this family
On this family the line is the outer cabinet, and it is absolute. Running a water test, closing the door properly, clearing the latch recess, cleaning the cavity and trying another receptacle are the owner's whole side.
