The part you need is sometimes call a megatron, they may call it something now, but its the power that radiates through the unit. I think this may be the culprit Sorry but this is not a cheep fix. you may want to do a cost comparison . This happened to me only after the warrentee had expired . good luck with it. DFD

Why Does My Sharp Microwave Turntable Get Hot?

I hope you didn't run the microwave with nothing in the cavity, if you did, it will damage the magnetron.
The turntable dishes do get hot depending on the quality of the glass used to make it. Heat is caused by impurities in the glass.
If you run it with no food in the oven, the glass will try to absorb the energy with atastrophic results usually.

All of a sudden the food does not get hot. The turntable does and everything looks to be working properly, but the food does not get hot.

call Chas&Son,s appliance repair at 570-379-0993 and they will come out the same day no less okay

Seems to cook okay, but its getting louder. What can I do?

If the sound is coming from the magnetron "heats food" it indicates failure within a short period of time. The only thing you can do is call an appliance repairman to check the oven out and verify the problem and cost.

My microwave is not heating up food. Everything else still works, but it is louder than usual. Lights, timer, fan, etc all work, the food is just not getting hot. It is about 4 years old.

HI. I have a Whirlpool Microwave (MH6141XKB). It will not reheat the food and makes a louder "humming" sound than normal. Other than that, everything works fine. Please advise. Brent

The magnatron in your oven has gone out and will need replaced!( This is the device that heats up your food) If everything is working and your food is not getting hot 99.9 percent of the time its the Magnatron or its fuse! The loud humming is also a big clue the MAGNATRON has gone bad!
Please rate this response and help us keep this area free!
Thank You!
