DMT2420
Dacor DMT2420 Kit Microwave Repair
Most common issues on this model
- No heat in the cavity
- Overheating inside a tight trim kit
- A door switch that fails
- A control or display that stops responding
The Dacor DMT2420 is a 24-inch microwave that was designed to be installed with a built-in kit. The number is also sold with three suffixes, the DMT2420B, DMT2420R and DMT2420S, which are finish versions of the same microwave.
A microwave in a built-in kit is boxed in by cabinets and trim, which changes what can go wrong. Heat has less room to escape, so overheating shows up sooner than it does on a countertop unit, and we look at the airflow around the microwave before the parts inside it. If it does not heat, we test the power parts and the door switches. A control that does not respond may be a connection or the control itself.
This is an older microwave, and its parts take effort to find, so we find out what exists before we start. The suffix on the label tells us the finish, and the finish decides which trim parts fit. You get a price in writing ahead of the work, and our work carries a 30-day workmanship warranty.

What do the B, R and S mean on the DMT2420?
They are finish versions of the same microwave, so DMT2420B, DMT2420R and DMT2420S differ in trim and color. We read the full number from the label before ordering.
Why does my built-in microwave overheat?
Without enough airflow around it, a microwave in a kit can overheat and shut down. We check the clearances and the vents before we test the microwave itself.
Is a microwave this age worth repairing?
Sometimes. A door switch or control repair can be worthwhile, but a major part may not be. We give you a written price and tell you honestly if replacement is the better choice.
