. you put in the time and push start and it it acts totally like it is working but when you open the microwave there is no sense of heat and food is exactly like when you put it in originally.
A microwave service tech will have to check your magnetron.

With these symptoms, I would suspect you have a bad magnetron.
If
it's within the magnetron portion of the warranty (usually 5-9 years)
but out of the original full warranty (usually 1 year), then your
manufacturer will cover the part cost, but not the cost to visit you or
the labor charge to do the work.
Some manufacturers will send you the magnetron to do it yourself. If
nothing else, you can save about $75 by taking it to the shop yourself.
Here are some links you or someone you know can use (in order given) for test help, but read the safety warnings first:

Sounds like you've had a failure in the microwave portion of the unit.
Microwave not heating problems when the timer/controller board appears to function properly, are related to the following components -
1) Diode
2) Capacitor
3) Transformer
4) Magnetron
SOURCE: Everything works except heat
this is something you should probably call a repair technician for, due to the danger of the componentry.
Usually in ther case of this problem, even a technician will advise you to replace the unit, in the minds of cost effectiveness and safety...
Replacing the Magnetron will fix this heating issue you are having with this microwave. The Magnetron is the device that is responsible for the heating action.
