My microwave has stopped heating yet still runs. Now this happened the same day and time my rifridgerator quit!! In my town we have had a few power outages, one lasting 30 mins, but this problem did not occur until two days after the outage. Is this a fixable problem or should the microwave be tossed. It is dated August of 2001 so it is 6 years old.
Generally, the most common causes of a failure to heat are: - bad door switches or door switch mounts If you or a friend decide to look into it, we have critical safety information, info on door switch diagnosis and replacement, and disassembly information at our site, linked here on Fixya: http://tinyurl.com/yzjozk You can usually find helpful exploded view diagrams and order parts by entering your full model number here: http://tinyurl.com/gv383 For more help from Emerson http://www.emersonradio.com ; Get help using your appliance 1-800-898-9020 ; Get help locating a servicer or parts 1-800-695-0098.
