maby it's the magnetron, i need more information, a good way to test the magnetron is to put a small HE-NE lamp in a glass filled with water (HE-NE lamps) are found in any radioshack (La source) store, if the lamp glowes orange it meens the magnetron is good, if it is not glowing then the magnetron is dead, (the magnetron is allmost the price of the oven) it could be a fuse but if you have to change the fuse replace it with the same type (normaly ceramic german type) NOT GLASS
Good luck!

Assuming its the same as my Hamilton Beach, you first enter the cooking time, but don't press start yet, instead press power, then a number button 1 - 9 for the power level 1 for 10%, 2 for 20% etc. THEN press start as normal

If the microwave oven is less than 7 years old the problem is in the magnetron, " the most expensive part " or the inverter board, either way costly adventure, good for target practice.
Testimonial: "Not an expensive oven, good advice that the fix is not worth it. I'll just get another oven."
There is countless things that could be wrong with it. Microwaves are very complex devices. Have you dropped it or was the door slammed hard? There are three sensors on the door and if one of them isn\'t working properly then the microwave will not heat. Other things that it could be are the high voltage capacitor might be defective. The magnetron tube may have blown out. The thermal fuse could\'ve blown out. The main control board may be defective, the possibility a go on and on. You can look up the ways to tell what it could be but if you ask me it would way simpler just up buy another one but there is always a way to fix anything.
