The MS24 is a 24-inch Wolf built-in microwave with a conventional swing door — the simplest configuration in the range, without the drawer mechanism of the MD models or the drop-down door of the MDD models. That simplicity shows in the fault list: a door latch switch, a magnetron and a control board account for most of it.
When the MS24 lights up and runs its fan but leaves food cold, it has a working control and a failing high-voltage side. That is a magnetron-circuit diagnosis, not a settings problem, and it is not safe DIY territory — the capacitor in that circuit holds a charge after the appliance is unplugged. As the standard swing-door model in the current lineup, it has the shortest parts list of any Wolf built-in microwave, which usually makes the diagnosis quick.
Taken apart, MS24 reads as MS for the standard built-in Microwave and 24 for the cabinet width in inches.
