What the BDMW family is
The Black Decker BDMW microwave code covers the models in the variant table below, and the BDMW stems step through sizes on a common mechanism. On this platform runs but does not heat is what arrives most often, with will not start behind it; the rest is a distant third.
The problems that happen on these models
- Runs but does not heat — The turntable turns, the light is on and the food stays cold after a full run. Covered in full on the BDMW page. — Slug: black-decker-black-decker-microwave-bdmw-microwave-heating-failure — Title: Black Decker BDMW Microwave: Not Heating
- Will not start — A dead display, or a display that lights and refuses every key press. Covered in full on the BDMW page. — Slug: black-decker-black-decker-microwave-bdmw-microwave-wont-start — Title: Black Decker BDMW Microwave: Will Not Start or No Power
- Door not closing or sealing properly — A door that needs a shove, a gap at one corner, or residue built up on the sealing face. Covered in full on the BDMW page. — Slug: black-decker-black-decker-microwave-bdmw-microwave-door-seal — Title: Black Decker BDMW Microwave: Door, Latch or Seal Fault
- Sparking, tripping or a burning smell — Arcing in the cavity, a breaker that trips when the oven runs, a hot plug, or a smell during use.

Problem classes, most frequent first on this family
- Runs but does not heat — The dominant class here, settled by a free check: power level and a cup of water.
- Will not start — Second, and split by that: a dark panel is supply, a lit one a door, lock or keypad.
- Door not closing or sealing properly — Third by frequency, first in seriousness: damage to the door retires the oven.
- Sparking, tripping or a burning smell — Last, and where owner checks stop at the cavity: the capacitor stays charged.

Before you open anything
Safety
Do not open the cabinet: the capacitor inside can hold a lethal charge long after the oven is unplugged. Never defeat an interlock, and stop using the oven if the door or its mesh is damaged.
When to call a technician
Owner work here stops at the cavity, the door faces, the vents, the outlet and the panel. Everything else is a technician's job or, on this class, the point where replacement wins.
