What is your microwave doing?

Pick the symptom. The parts that usually cause it turn orange in the drawing.

Not heating food

Usually the magnetron or the high-voltage diode has failed, or a door switch is not engaging properly. A technician has to test the microwave to tell which.

Turntable not turning

Sparking inside

This can mean a damaged waveguide cover or a metal object inside. Switch the microwave off and stop using it. Carrying on is a fire risk.

Loud buzzing noise

A hum is normal. A loud buzzing that gets worse usually points to a failing magnetron or transformer. Switch the microwave off and call us.
