DMT2420S
Dacor DMT2420S Trim-Kit Microwave Repair
Most common issues on this model
- Food that stays cold
- A trim kit vent that is blocked, causing overheating
- A door switch that fails
- A door that does not latch
The Dacor DMT2420S is the S version of the 24-inch DMT2420 microwave, which was made for a built-in kit. Its sister versions are the DMT2420B and DMT2420R. The trim kits for these microwaves are in the AMTK series, and the microwave is discontinued.
The trim kit decides how this microwave behaves in the cabinet. If its vent is covered, by dust, a shelf or an object placed in front, the microwave overheats, and many owners think the microwave itself has broken. We look at the vent and the clearances first, then the door switches, which fail on microwaves of every age, and the power parts if there is no heat. A door that does not latch is checked along with the switches.
We repair the DMT2420S where it makes sense and advise against it where it does not. Parts for a discontinued microwave take effort to find, so we search before agreeing to a repair. The finish on the label tells us which trim part to look for. You see the price in writing, and our 30-day workmanship warranty stays with the work.

What is an AMTK trim kit?
It is the trim that lets this microwave sit flush in a cabinet opening. The kit has a vent, which must stay clear, so we check it when the microwave overheats.
Why does my microwave shut off after a short time?
Overheating from a blocked vent or tight clearances can shut it off. We clear the vent, check the airflow and then test the microwave if it keeps happening.
How is the DMT2420S different from the DMT2420B?
They are finish versions of the same microwave. The S and B differ in color, which can matter for trim, so we read the number from the label before ordering.
