SOURCE: Everything works except heat

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

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...

SOURCE: My lg ms3949cs microwave tripping the breaker when I press start button but was working before.Please help

Anything added to the circuit the microwave is on? Circuit could be overloaded.

You could have a shorted high voltage rectifier, high voltage capacitor, or shorted magnetron. Usually a door switch problem blows the internal fuse in the oven, but door switches should be checked anyway.

More than likely the klystron tube is defective, that draws a lot of current. Best path here is a new MW

Microwave model MV-1510M is not heating, also sounds louder. Everything else is working, fan, lights, turntable etc..

If everything is working normally, except for heating, the likely cause is the magnetron.  Microwaves can be dangerous to work on, as the site below points out.  If you have an ohmmeter, it is possible to check the magnetron, but be certain to follow the precautions outlined at the webpage:

Nothing is hot - everything is on

Check the door safefy interlock switches before you plunk your $ down.

If you open your oven to check the contents without turning the oven off first ... the tiny switches arc and start to burn ... once they cannot make contact ... the oven doesn't know if the door is open or closed so it will not turn on the heat.

It is worth checking ...

Everything works ok except strange hum and no heat

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.
If it is under warranty you are golden. If not, you should get an estimate, as many new microwaves are now in the 50 dollar to 99 dollar range
