My GE Microwave appears to work -- all the control panel buttons respond. But it doesn't "energize" that is heat the food. Is the part that creates the microwave energy repair/replaceable?
Generally, the most common causes of a failure to heat are:
- bad door switches or door switch mounts
- loose connection at the magnetron
- problem or loose connection on the control unit circuit board
- bad magnetron or other high voltage part
