This would be under warranty, so Maytag should take care of it for you: http://maytag.com/support/index.jsp

SOURCE: Microwave won't heat food.

My Whirlpool microwave, over the stove, stopped working when my son used it to heat his food and a heavy sound came out, like something exploded in it. When I check it, there was nothing broke. Everything works fine except that it does not heat. I will appreciate any help

SOURCE: microwave will not heat food

I have the same problem and have figured out the following:
Most likely it is the magnetron - common problem for GE's. Replacement part list price is around $180 but you can find on ebay for about $80. Replacement is "doable" but tricky because the oven needs to be removed to replace the part. The GE replacement kit part # for magnetron and stirrer is WB27X10489. Expect a service tec to charge at least $200-$225 to make the repair so complete replacement of microwave might make more sense...unfortunately.

SOURCE: My microwave oven isn't heating my food.

Small component called a diode. Open up the microwave and try to find a black (usually) component that is most often connected between the magnetron (the thing that heats the food) and the chassis of the microwave oven (ground). I used to make a fortune replacing these! Costs about 5 bucks most appliance supply stores. Make darn sure you get one of the same value.

Is it safe to use an epoxy grout in my Amana RSW458P microwave oven? About an inch of the grout in the bottom back corner, where the bottom meets the side wall, has peeled away.
this must be an oldie cus im not in the knowlege of any microwaves that are sealed with grout , most all today are heat sealed using an ultrasonic weld that i know of
but i caution you using non food grade materials inside any oven, heat generated by cooking may leak out chemicals in sealers and "grout" that are not designed for food and poision the food inside id contact Amana directly and inquire about them selling you a tube of this sealer ?

I have a GE spacesaver microwave, model number JVM1430BD002, that stopped heating. Everything else works, it just doesn't heat food. What would cause this?
Sounds like a bad magnetron tube.

This is usually caused by a blown high voltage rectifier diode.

You can usually find helpful exploded view diagrams and order parts by entering your full model number here: http://tinyurl.com/gv383

There should also be a "mini-manual" hidden inside the unit behind the control panel or hidden on the left side behind the grille, which is very helpful when troubleshooting & testing.

No heat
The most common causes are a bad door switch, a loose connection at the magnetron terminal, a bad magnetron, a bad high voltage diode, a bad connection on the control panel, or a bad relay on the control panel. If you or a friend decide to work on it, we have *critical* safety, disassembly, and troubleshooting info (as well as a text file which helps in diagnosing and repairing door switch problems) at our site, which is linked at our listing here on FixYa: http://tinyurl.com/yzjozk Or call 877-477-7278 M-F 10am - 9pm Eastern time.
