Hi, Consumer. We're sorry to hear about the difficulty with your washer. Below are links to our Use & Care guides, Parts Diagrams, Troubleshooting information and the Service are of our website. We hope this helps! http://bit.ly/112Lu7q
Open the back and look for a blown glass tube fuse. If the filament is broken, replace the fuse. If it's a solid fuse, do a continuity test. If you have continuity, then it is still good. Good luck!
Make an arrangement and get proof of it, confirmation #, an email something that you can show the judge that is clear evidence of your arrangement. Really a company word and yours--is not (Is Not) a payment arrangement, your word against theirs, it\'s nothing till you get a written or stamped (a record) for proof of arrangement with date and time. "Sometimes I think that everything should be done for me and everyone should agree with me.?" I\'d like that but nothing is complete or arranged, till we have evidence that show proof of that agreement, and then it\'s done.!. O oops there goes another one. Every second someone gets hand over-over head, do your homework! Cuz that is the key to be on top of the class. Read-Share-Teach
When the magnitron fails it will do one of two things, it will give no microwave action to the centerplate or it increases in strenghth many times to where it is very hazardous. Yours appears to be the first case. I;'m assuming that you've checked the fuse on the board, seeing you were already back in there to check the harness to the magnitron.
Use a hair blow dryer to dry out the underside of the microwave. After you are convinced that it is dry you may operate it again.
That said, if it still is acting up read this:
When the microwave sounds okay, but there's no heat, one of the internal door switches, the high voltage circuitry, or the circuit board may have a problem. To resolve this problem, you need the assistance of a qualified appliance repair technician.
Sounds like the magnetron has failed. It is the magnetron that generates the microwaves that heat the food. If it or the circuit that powers it fails then it stops heating. There are some high voltage circuits that feed the magnetron and you can potentially get hurt if you don't know what you are doing. Would recommend you have it serviced by a professional if you want it fixed, otherwise look for a new one since the cost of repair can come close to the price of a new microwave oven.
This is not something that you can fix yourself. Most likely, the magnetron needs replaced, and this must be done by a service department. So, if the microwave is relatively new and expensive, take it in for service. If it's an old one or relatively cheap model, you would be better off replacing it because the cost of the repair would likely be more than the unit is worth. Hope that this helps.
Magnatron is suspect. Need to put a voltmeter and see if the
input (primary) side to the high-voltage transformer (big heavy iron
thing in there) is getting 120Vac. Don't touch the other (high
voltage) side of this transformer. If the power is there, you are
looking at replacing the magnatron. Its affordable if you do it
yourself - buy the part on EBAY - lookup "universal magnatron"
It has a bad magnetron. This is the tube that provides the microwaves to heat the food. Not too easy to replace yourself but it can be done. Cost of magnetron is probably less than $50 or $60.
