The microwave is not heating. worked fine one

try slaming door shut

Sorry no answer, but I JUST bought mine and it was working just fine until this morning. Turns on, times down, turntable works, sounds like it's working, won't heat a DAMN glass of water!!! We'd both like help please

Chances are the magnetron has failed, "heats food" the other possibility is the high voltage capacitor and diode. Repairs will approach the cost of a new microwave oven.

if everything works except the heating, it is most likely the mag tube is on its way out.........that is the most common reason for it not too cook.......since the microwave is a GE and it is 3.5 years old, i would say you are better off buying a new microwave, the mag tube starts at around $70.00 and up + the labor it costs too have a service person put it in........around another $60.00

Good Morning,
Souns like the Magnatron Tube has burnt out. Hope this helps and thank you for using FixYa!

Your magnetron is failing.

Do the inside light and turntable come on when you try to cook?

Is it making any unusual noise or is it louder or quieter than normal?

Do you have the model number?
