make this test and fix it. God bless you

1. Check the power diodeThis electronic component is responsible for transmitting current in one direction. If the diode becomes defective it will cause your microwave to not heat. Test the diode and replace it if necessary.
2. High voltage capacitorResponsible for storing electricity, this part is a key component in any microwave. Remove, discharge, and test the capacitor to determine if it requires replacement.
3. Damaged magnetronResponsible for generating waves and producing heat. When your microwave is no longer heating properly, replacement will be required.
4. Thermal CutoffsExamine the thermal cutoffs on both the magnetron and the oven itself. Take off one of the leads and using a volt-ohm meter on RX1, check the terminals. If you get a result other than zero, replace the thermal cutoffs.

There can be short in the ribbon connector that connects the control panel to the rest due to some oily deposits. You can try to open it up, remove the ribbon, clean it and put back. It may take a few attempts to align correctly.I am assuming your model is similar to mine.

If you can open up, try to clean the ribbon connector. My oven was sending "1" all the time, filled the memory and caused permanent beeping! I wanted to cut off the "1" connection but after opening I found that the panel was diffuclt to disassemble. I just cleaned the ribbon connector and put it pack. It needed a few attempts to get it to work all the buttons properly. But then it has been working for more than year without problem!

Sounds like its time for a new microwaveYou can probably buy a new one cheaper then fixing the old oneMost controls that display 888 something is shorted out on the controller.Have you tried unplugging it for 5 minutes and plugging back in?
