Problem: normal operation of selecting set time to cook and run microwave. cook time completes stopping microwave as normal. Open door to remove dish and microwave starts cooking again with turntable rotating while door open. Can recreate problem a couple times even after selecting clear and stop sensor. Eventually will stop after opening door. Stops can be made by just opening door and or sometimes by repeatidly selecting the stop sensor.

SOURCE: Microwave does not heat food placed in the center of the turntable. Leaves a cold spot in the middle of the food.

This is normal. That's why I always recommend to my customers that the food be placed slightly off-center on the turntable. An analogy I refer to is stirring paint: If you stir paint with a stick by simply rotating the stick in the center of the can, it's far less effective than pulling the stick around an imaginary circle halfway bewteen the center and the edge.

SOURCE: sANYO EM-D9550. Turntable turns when off but not when cooking.

That's sounds pretty strange!

Since I don't have any service data on Sanyos, I'd have to speculate.

I would guess that one scenario that could cause it would be if the turntable were turned off via the control panel, but there was a switch or switch mount problem.

I would refer you to their support people:

SOURCE: microwave not cooking

I would say you have a bad door switch or door switch mount, or your door is loose or out of alignment.

But since it's new, and under warranty, I would contact Goldstar (LG) customer service to have them repair it free.

Contact LG at 1-800-243-0000 or http://us.lgservice.com

SOURCE: The turntable keeps rotating when the dooe is open - Panasonic T994SFR

This is usually caused by either a bad door switch, a loose door switch mount, or occasionally a problem on the control panel.

Even though a door switch clicks, it may still be bad inside. Its continuity must be checked.

Door switch or mount trouble can be caused by slamming the door or by opening the door while it's cooking without hitting the Stop pad first.

There are plastic mounts inside the microwave which hold the door switches and onto which the door latches lock when you close the door.

The screws on these mounts may be loose. If they get too loose, the switches will not be activated properly.

Sometimes it's a broken tab on the switch holder, allowing the switch to rotate just out of position. Other times, it's a broken tab on the switch holder, allowing the switch to rotate just out of position. This tab can be hard to see, since it is under the bottom edge of the switch.

One test that sometimes helps is to gently lift up on the door or handle as you try to start it. If it works or tries to work, then it's a door switch mount or door alignment issue.

We have critical safety & disassembly info (including a how-to video) at our site, linked here.

If you think the problem is on the control panel, we repair these nationwide by mail for $39.95 postpaid in most cases.

SOURCE: I own a Advantium 120

I guess my problem cannot be fixed. I was told that my microwave turntable is automatic and cannot be turned off, therefore, if you have a 9 1/2 x 11 dish and need to reheat something it cannot go in the microwave because it does not fit .

Emmerson turns on and counts down but no cooking happens.

If your Emerson microwave is turning on and counting down but not actually cooking or heating the food, there could be a few potential causes for this issue. Here are some steps you can take to troubleshoot the problem:
  1. Check Power Levels: Make sure the microwave's power level is set to the desired level for cooking. Some microwaves have adjustable power settings, and if it's set too low, it may appear that the microwave is running but not cooking properly.
  2. Door Interlock Switches: Microwaves are equipped with safety interlock switches that prevent the microwave from operating when the door is open. If any of these switches are malfunctioning or not engaging properly, it could prevent the microwave from cooking. Ensure that the door is fully closed and the switches are working as intended.
  3. Turntable and Support: If your microwave has a turntable, make sure it's properly seated on its support and able to rotate freely. If the turntable is not turning, it could result in uneven cooking or no cooking at all.
  4. Magnetron Malfunction: The magnetron is the component responsible for generating microwave energy for cooking. If the magnetron is faulty or not functioning properly, the microwave may appear to operate but won't actually heat the food. A malfunctioning magnetron usually requires professional repair or replacement.
  5. High Voltage Diode or Capacitor: The high voltage diode and capacitor work together to convert the high voltage output from the transformer into microwave energy. If either of these components is defective, it can prevent the microwave from cooking. Again, professional repair may be necessary.
  6. Control Board or Circuitry Issues: A malfunctioning control board or other electronic components could also lead to a situation where the microwave appears to operate normally but doesn't actually cook. If you suspect control board issues, it's best to contact a professional technician.
  7. User Manual: Double-check the user manual for any specific instructions or troubleshooting steps related to cooking issues. The manual may provide guidance on common problems and their solutions.
If you've checked these common issues and the microwave still isn't cooking, it's advisable to stop using it and contact Emerson customer support or a professional appliance technician for further diagnosis and repair. Microwaves contain high-voltage components that can be dangerous to work with, so it's important to prioritize safety and seek professional assistance if needed.

Microwave stops after 59 seconds

Check that a "favourite" setting has not been selected. The unit may think that is the time that you want to cook. Im not sure about your model but see if there is any clear or cancel buttons to clear any pre programmed selections. If not, unplug the machine for 15 minutes to reset the controller and try it again.

Not heating

Hello


Power Supply

Check whether there is a proper power supply. Look to see whether the cord is connected to a grounded 3-prong outlet and the cord is fully plugged in. If the electrical system is built-in and no power cord is visible, replace or reset the household fuse or circuit breaker.

Microwave Functions

Some basic microwave operational steps may affect whether the microwave is heating. Open and close the microwave door, as the unit will not function with the door open, and push "Stop/Clear" to cancel any previous settings, such as the timer, which do not heat the microwave oven.

Setting the Microwave

Once the power to the microwave has been reset, or verified as working, and the microwave is ready to run, select a new cook cycle and press "Start" to see if the microwave begins to run and cook food as expected. Allow the food to cook for the alloted time and then open the microwave door and check to see if the food has cooked or heated. Choose a longer cooking time and restart the microwave if food is heating but is cooking slowly.

Repair

If all efforts to troubleshoot the function and power to the microwave still do not get the appliance heating food as expected, there may be a repair issue that needs to be addressed. Contact professional technician for advice.

I have Emerson Microwave #mw8999sv which has the Express Cook option- cooking 1 - 6 minutes. How do I cook for 1 minute 30 seconds, etc.? Thank you.

The owner's manual is here. On page 10 we find:

COOKING IN ONE STAGE
1. Press the POWER button; the Microwave and High
Cook indicators will light and “PL 10” will light in the
display.
2. Press the POWER button different times to set the
desired power; the display will show the percentage
you chose. If selecting power level 70%-10%, the
Low Cook indicator will light instead of the High
Cook indicator.
3. Press number keys to set the desired cooking time.
OPERATION(CONTINUED)
4. Press the START/+30SEC. button to start cooking;
the Microwave and one of the Cook indicators will
blink and the display will countdown the remaining
cooking time in minutes and seconds. It will beep
five times when cooking is completed.

Microwave still continues after cooking time is ended

It is the fan. Im guessing it only happens on combination cook and not when you are only using the microwave setting. It happens because the oven is hot and it helps to cool it quicker. It is normal. The microwaves are not working and neither is the oven-just the fan.
