My micro wave will not warm items up

Microwave museum could use it.

If you hear an unusual buzzing noise, the magnetron (the component that actually generates the microwaves) or other electronic module may be broken. This is not easily fixed; contact a service technician.

Thanks,

Hi,
Here is a tip that will help you to figure out what is wrong with yourMicrowave Oven....

Microwave Oven Basic Troubleshooting Tips

Your going to need to disassemble the light fixture to perform electrical work. Its possible in the process that you may have accidently blown something else. If so, be prepared to peform
units soldered connections on the main projection board warm up as the system warms up. Thus, the loose capacitors, resisters, and diodes are causing the CHANGE when the system warms up. When metal contracts, it expands thus losing the connection needed for a solid connection. This process is normal after the units have reached their service life. Keep in mind that you can repair this but at the expense of time if you have never performed this type of work.

If you're sure that you've followed the operation procedures correctly, the the thermostat of the Micro wave needs to be adjusted by a qualified person/Technician. if the problem persist, then you need to change the Element/Heating coil of the M-wave.

Most micro's have a % heat setting. Make sure that you are at 100%

its your magnatron tube, that is what makes the microwaves. the part # 492603, you can order it at marcone.com it should cost $100-150, if the micro is more than 6 years old I might not fix it.

this sounds like either a capacitor, transformer, or magnatron. Mags unually don't go bad. Either one can go bad and blow a fuse or other safety device. If one shorts, it could burn a section of the circuit board.

I would think about calling a tech and have him diagnose the problem. Tell him you can't fix it now but will in a month or two. Have him write down the things you need so when you do want it fixed, you do not have to start all over again. Then order the parts and fix yourself.

Micro waves can be dangerous and cause burns, so if you think this is not for you, go buy a new one.

If it stops after 22 seconds, that means the controller has detected a problem, usually a problem with the inverter or a bad magnetron.

Due to the lethal voltages used and produced, I do not recommend that an inexperienced person work on these.
