I have a 13yr old above-range oven which quit when my wife cooked food in an aluminized foil wrapper (a small fire ensued!). This oven has 3 thermal protection units, on the magnetron, the chassis and on top of the food cavity. This last one had failed open, and since it's in series with the magnetron thermal protection unit and the main relay, nothing would work. MAT electronics sell the units for less than $4, but my problem now is to pick one with the appropriate temperature cut-off. They range from 200 to 300F.

It's usually a bad door switch or a broken door switch mount. Once in a while it's due to a board problem. If you or a friend decide to work on it, we have *critical* safety, disassembly, and troubleshooting info (as well as a text file which helps in diagnosing and repairing door switch problems) at our site, which is linked at our listing here on FixYa: http://tinyurl.com/yzjozk

SOURCE: My LMV2053SB microwave won't turn on.

It is located on the top of the chassis under the outer cover.

You will need to remove the oven from the wall and remove the outer cover to get to it.

Having the installation instructions really helps in this case, but if for some reason you don't have yours,
L.G. / Goldstar manuals can be downloaded here.

If yours' is not available there,
call 1-800-243-0000 (M-F, 7am-8pm CT, Sat 8-5 CT) and choose the appropriate prompt from the menu or visit here.

We have the service manual and parts manual for this model and have uploaded them to our site here and here to help you.

You will need the
free Acrobat Reader to view or print it in case you don't have it

The oven cavity thermostat is part # 6930W1A003D and it can be ordered at the Sears parts site.

We're happy to help you with free advice and we'd appreciate your thoughtful rating of our answer.

SOURCE: Microwave oven coming on but not heating

I had the same problem with my Sharp OTR microwave/convection oven. I had 2 service reps out to look at it (Sears and Lowes) they both said it was the magnatron and would cost about $500.oo to repair it. I called Waverly's Appliance in Paris, TN and it turned out to be a diode. Total cost of repair was $35.00 including service call.

SOURCE: LG Microwave does not heat food

est the high voltage capacitor,the rectifier diode.or the magnetron. If all this are fine, test the control board.

Thediode and capacitors can br tested. The capacitor must bealloweddischarge before testing, or you risk to get electrocuted, evenifpower is off. Capacitors can get discharged by shorting theirtwocontacts.
Before replacing the magnetron test also the control board.
Replace the magnetron if the checks and all of the high voltage component tests are good, but the unit still does not heat.



All locations, and description of this parts can be located using the diagram here: Counter top.

Parts must be tested to find out what is wrong.

Remember that microwaves are potentially dangerous devices if not repaired properly, the job must be done by a competent person.
A microwave energy leakage test must always be performed when the oven is serviced for any reason.

Regarding parts, contact the seller here to purchase parts.

Stop cooking. The clock works it doesn't heat though

The magnetron is the likely cause, "heats food" the other possibilities are the high voltage capacitor and diode, chances are repairs will approach or exceed the cost of a new microwave oven.

MY LG microwave oven model no MH6344W does not heat the food .The oven is fine after 1 minute microwaving if i remove the food it is as cold as it was. What would be the reason please explain. I tried...

Hi,

If the food is not being heated it means the magnetron is not working. The magnetron is the device which generates microwaves which heat the food. It could be the magnetron itself which is faulty or it could be one or 2 other components causing the magnetron not to work. You will have to take your microwave oven to a service center to determine the exact cause & get a repair quotation.

Let me know if you need further assistance.
Best wishes,
Graeme

It just quit while cooking. Is there afuse in this microwave?

If the model number is correct, there is a 125V, 20 AMP line fuse inside the microwave. Its usually mounted at the point where the power cord enters the back of the unit. You will need to UNPLUG the microwave oven and remove the exterior case to access. The case comes off in various ways depending on manufacture and model. I found this illustration at pcappliancerepair.com based on the model number you listed this question under:

http://pcappliancerepair.com/model-display.php
The line fuse is listed as item 12.

You can usually purchase a box of fuses at a hardware store for just a little more than what the manufacturer charges for a single fuse. 125V, 20AMP Ceramic Slow Blow fuses are recommended.

If you have any questions, or need additional assistance troubleshooting, please post back and let me know. I hope you find this information helpful.

NOTE: Make sure you take any resistance readings with the microwave UNPLUGGED and the component under test isolated (removed) from the circuit.
