I have had the microwave for 1yr 2months. every was working until last weekend. The heating unit does not work. everything else works like the light fan, keypad. All that is failing is the heating the food part. Is this any easy fix or should I buy a new one. The reason I ask is because Im on tight budget and would like to fix this myself. Thanks for looking into this and any reply's would be apreciated.

Thanks,

James

Hi,

**Microwaves are very dangerous, they can still shock you even
unplugged!!**
**Discharge the capacitor first before attempting any checks or tests**

everything else works like the light fan, keypad. All
that is failing is the heating the food part.

Q - My microwave is running and sounds like it is working but will not
heat up anything.

A - Many thing can do this but, common things are....loose high voltage
wire.....poor solder joint on board.....magnetron.....power relay.....

Q - The microwave makes a loud "hum or buzz" noise but will not heat up
the food?

A - 9 times out of 10 this is usually this is a bad magnetron, the
other time is sometimes a bad high voltage diode.

Same testing ideas....
