Are you facing the same problem? Do not worry.
Here are some troubleshooting tips that we help
you to get escape from this problem. Microwaves
are a standard item in almost every home and make
reheating leftovers or cooking food quick and
simple. But when your microwave isn't working
properly, it can be a big hassle. Before buying
a new microwave oven, you can attempt a few
potential repairs if your current one isn't
heating. Before getting a new one, try to solve
your microwave oven by following the
tips. Examine the Power Source Checking that a
microwave oven is receiving power properly is the
first step in troubleshooting one that isn't
heating. Check to make sure the microwave is
hooked into a working outlet and that the fuse
or circuit breaker that controls the outlet
hasn't blown or tripped. Go to the following
step if the power supply is working
properly. Check the door interlocks and safety
devices
2Safety interlock switches on microwave ovens stop
them from working while the door is open. The
microwave might not heat if the door or any of
the interlock switches are broken or out of
place. Check the door carefully for any obvious
blemishes or obstacles. Use a multimeter to test
the interlock switches as well to make sure they
are working properly. Examine the Magnetron The
part that produces microwave energy is called a
magnetron. The most frequent reason for a
microwave not heating is a damaged magnetron.
You'll need to remove the magnetron and
discharge the high-voltage capacitor to inspect
it. Look for any indications of burns, damage,
or loose connections. Replace the magnetron if
any problems are discovered. Control Board
verification The control board of the microwave
controls all features and configurations. The
control board could be broken, which would
prohibit the oven from heating. Look for any
obvious signs of damage or burned-out components
on the board. Consult a qualified technician if
you think there might be an issue, or think about
changing the control board. Bottom Line It can
be annoying when the heating element in your
microwave stops working. Without having to
replace the entire machine, you can identify the
issue and possibly solve it by using the
troubleshooting advice provided. However, keep in
mind that microwaves contain high-voltage
components, therefore it's advisable to get

professional if you feel uneasy handling
