Try removing the power plug from the wall, wait 30 seconds, plug it back in, and then try again. If it still does not work, then you will need to take it to a local repair shop, as there is nothing further you can do

SOURCE: Panasonic microwave start button

You may have a sticky door switch. Try a simple "slamming" of the door, don't over do it, just a little harder than normal. This may help pop the plunger in the switch back up. The switch could have also become loose and moved out of its adjustment.
If this does not help, a technician should save you time and money with this sometimes perplexing problem.

SOURCE: LG LMVM2075 Microwave Control panel does not work

The keypad has failed and it is available as a part of a new outer door panel, whose part number is 383EW1A130E for $103.19 plus shipping.

You can get it from Encompass here or you can call them toll-free at 866-779-5835.

For disassembly info, you can see the service manual at our site:
http://www.microwavedisplay.com/lmvm2075sb_sw_sm.pdf

It does not contain part numbers, so you will need to contact Encompass.

Direct spraying of cleaners on the keypad and steam from the cooktop can damage the controls.

I always recommend that you spray non-ammonia cleaner on a soft cloth (not a paper towel which can scratch) and gently wipe the keypad.

And I always recommend that you use the vent fan whenever you're cooking on the stove top to keep heat, steam, and grease out of the controls and door panels.

We're happy to help you with free advice and we'd appreciate your thoughtful rating of our answer.

Magnetron is gone, just to be sure remove the microwave and use on a different socket. sometimes the breaker becomes faulty after 10 AMPS.

Installation of magnetron

if you push the star button and no sound or anything comes from the unit then you have a bad user control. if you hit start and the machine starts working but not heating then i recommend replacing the magnatron capacitor and diode. use caution replacing these as the unit runs the mag with a 20,000 volt transformer

My LG LRMP1270ST microwave oven stopped working in the morning. It just flat died when I put 2:00 minutes on the timer and pressed start I heard the pop/breaking sound. So immediately I stopped the...

The main fuse has blown in the microwave, you also have secondary problem that sounds like the magnetron has failed, but there are two other parts to consider, the high voltage capacitor and diode work in conjunction with the magnetron to heat the food. The repairs could run as high as a new microwave oven.

Magnetron part help

The service manual is here, and the support page with exploded view and parts list is here.

The original Amana / Whirlpool part number was 53001594 but it is no longer available. Another matching part was WP8206570 but those are "NLA," too.

The service manual will not show the LG part number.

If the attached photo from the Pros is correct, then the original LG number was 2M246-310GF.

You may be able to find one in "new old stock" by any of those numbers at local or online parts suppliers or on eBay.

Contact me directly if you need more help.

My microwave is locked and i dont know how to unlock it

"Locke" meaning the door? or locked meaning the buttons don't work? If it is the buttons then you have the child lock on. Push and hold the "Start" button for 4 to 5 seconds, and it will unlock.
