Run but no heat
It sounds like the magnetron may have
either failed or is not being supplied with the extremely high
voltage required to run it.
YOUR
SAFETY IS PARAMOUNT
This is a job for a professional but if
you are safety clued up, here's instruction.
Make sure the
!!!!capacitor is discharged!!!!! before attempting any
sort of repair.
Check the door interlock switches first then the
high voltage diode with either an AVO model 8 or moving coil meter on
high resistance range for short circuit, (DVM's won't show the
fault!), the capacitor can fail and go short circuit, the feed fuse
on the primary of the high voltage transformer and then finally, the
magnetron is best checked by substitution.
Hope that helps.
Microwave dont turn on the
Dead appliance, power on wall outlet.
YOUR
SAFETY IS PARAMOUNT!
Attempt
this only if you are competent.
If
your appliance has absolutely no functions at all, remove it from the
mains supply, remove the case and see where the mains lead goes in to
the appliance and follow the cable until you find the main fuse.
ONLY
USE THE SAME TYPE AND RATING OF FUSE TO REPLACE IT.
The usual
cause of this fuse failure is the door switches are contaminated or
sticking. Check the door switches before putting power back on to the
appliance.
Hope this helps.
My microwave is new and
Sorry to read about your problem, I hope this helps you out.
I would return the unit, you have a lemon on your hands
Microwaves must be serviced by technicians due to the inherent dangers involved in repairing these appliances. Internal capacitors can retain a lethal electrical charge even though the unit is completely unplugged. A microwave radiation leakage test must be performed on the unit following any internal component repair.

I PUSH ON THE BUTTONS
Sorry to read about your problem.
It seems you have a general failure in the power control or switch failure on the unit. if your unit has power, and things lite. it is more likely you have a control/switch problem,
since you can replace your unit for under $100.00 a service call would not be worth it.

I have a 1000 watt
hello,
what is the problem like ?
please replay back with comment waiting to ear from you.
thanks
Electricity is on because the colon is showing.
Hello. Try this. Push the clock button. Then enter the time in hours and minutes, THEN push the clock button a second time. Joe
Please give my answer 4 thumbs up since it is on target and also free to you. Thanks. Joe
