The short answer
The EM label covers the microwave models listed in the table below. Complaints fall into four groups, and the owner boundary on every one of them is the same: the outer casing.
What goes wrong on these models, and where each is covered
- Runs and lights but leaves the food cold — Everything visible works while the high-voltage side does not. — Slug: contoure-contoure-microwave-em-microwave-heating-failure — Title: Contoure EM Microwave: Not Heating
- Nothing happens when start is pressed — The door interlocks first, then the outlet, then a control lock. — Slug: contoure-contoure-microwave-em-microwave-wont-start — Title: Contoure EM Microwave: Will Not Start or No Power
- A door that sags, sticks or has a broken latch — The door carries the interlocks and forms the seal, so damage takes the machine out of use. — Slug: contoure-contoure-microwave-em-microwave-door-seal — Title: Contoure EM Microwave: Door, Latch or Seal Fault
- Trips, arcing, smells or a tingle — Unplug first and ask the questions afterwards. — Slug: contoure-contoure-microwave-em-microwave-electrical-safety — Title: Contoure EM Microwave: Electrical, Fire or Gas Hazard
Problem classes in frequency order on this family
- Heating complaints — The largest group and almost all of it service work, because the parts behind it sit inside the casing. No counted corpus covers these models, so this ranks mechanisms rather than shares.
- Starting complaints — Second, and the only group whose causes are mostly checkable from outside the casing.
- Door complaints — Third, and the most serious of the four: a damaged door is a reason to stop using the appliance.
- Electrical complaints — Least common, and the group where the right first action is to stop using the machine.

What is owner work on these models
Owner work here stops at the outer casing: cleaning the cavity and the seal face, proving the outlet, clearing a control lock and inspecting the door. Everything else is a service call.
