Cuisinart Microwave Ovens - Popular Questions, Answers, Tips & Manuals
Cuisinart CMW-100 EVERY THING WORKS BUT DOES NOT MICROWAVE.
Could be the magnetron, I suppose..
Why is my microwave not heating up?
This high voltage powers the magnetron to heat the food. If the diode burns out, the magnetron won't receive enough voltage to operate, preventing the microwave from heating. When the diode fails, it is often visibly burned out. Inspect the diode and if the diode is burned out, replace it.
Test the Magnetron:

I have the cuisinart 14
Sometimes mating the bowl to the base does not depress the indented safety start button at the front of the base. This can happen more often if you pre-assemble the bowl and lid before mating to the base. Sometimes also the plunger rod in the bowl (that pushes the indented safety button) gets fouled with debris and does not slide nicely up and down. You may have to clean that area.
Test the safety button .... take the bowl off and take a small screwdriver to depress the button while activating the start lever. BE CAREFUL ... since the center drive cylinder will spin. If the motor turns on and drive cylinder rotates then the problem is how the bowl was mated to the base. If the motor does not turn on ... then it could be the motor/wiring/switch.
Helpful?
Good luck with your troubleshooting
