My new LG solardome MA3884vc overheats melamine plate @30 seconds
If your LG Solardome microwave oven is overheating a melamine plate within 30 seconds, there could be a few potential issues at play:
- Power Settings: Check to see if the power settings on your microwave are too high. If it's set to a high power level, it can cause certain materials, like melamine, to overheat quickly. Try reducing the power level and see if that helps.
- Plate Material: Melamine plates are not suitable for use in microwave ovens as they can overheat and potentially release harmful chemicals into your food. It's recommended to use microwave-safe dishes made of glass, ceramic, or microwave-safe plastic.
- Microwave Performance: If the microwave is consistently overheating items within such a short time frame, it might indicate a malfunction. In this case, it's best to contact LG customer support or a certified technician to inspect and repair the microwave.
- Placement and Usage: Ensure that the plate is placed centrally on the turntable and not touching the sides of the microwave. Also, avoid using the microwave for extended periods without interruption, as this can cause overheating.
- Testing with Different Materials: Try using a microwave-safe ceramic or glass plate to see if the issue persists. If other materials heat up quickly as well, it could indicate a problem with the microwave itself.

Take into an LG Service centre for repair. They are sealed by security screws and are dangerous inside. You won't be able to get parts.. If it is a counter top microwave and cost $60, just buy a new one as they are a disposable item.
My Goldstar MV1608 stopped rotating and heating
If there is no heating it is possible that the MAGNETRON has failed provided there is supply feed to the unit when the microwave is powered. Normally the magnetron along with the fan and light comes on when the microwave power is triggered. So since the rotation is absent it is possible that there is no power feed from the processor board which can be related to a driver failure. You need to check the output from the PROCESSOR to confirm and pinpoint the defective component. Check the relay to the magnetron trigger as this can be a suspect.
