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.

In the drawing: Magnetron, High-voltage diode, Door switches.

Turntable not turning

Usually a worn turntable motor or a roller ring that has come off its track.

In the drawing: Turntable motor, Roller ring.

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.

In the drawing: Waveguide cover.

Will not start

A blown thermal fuse, a faulty door switch or a control board fault are the most common causes.

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.

In the drawing: Magnetron, Transformer.

Door will not close properly

A faulty door seal, latch or hinge. On a microwave this is a safety problem, so stop using it until a technician has checked it.

Buttons not responding

Buttons that do not respond are a fault we see often. The membrane keypad and the control board are both parts we replace.
